Manufacturing
For manufacturerswhose products have rules.
Configured, customizable, built-to-order — products where a wrong quote is an expensive one. Genesis builds the quote against your rules, from first configuration to the last aftermarket part.
Sound familiar?
- The quote takes four days and three people — and it’s still wrong.
- The configuration knowledge lives in two experts’ heads.
- Pricing lives in a spreadsheet with a version problem.
- Every rule change waits on an IT ticket.
- Distributors order by phone, because they can’t self-serve.
- Parts and service revenue runs on tribal memory.
None of that is a people problem. It’s what happens when the rules live in heads instead of in the system.
What solves it
In their words
“Expedite Commerce was a total game changer for our company and I would credit the success, in large part, to the dedication and business acumen of their team.”
Sub-segments
Assemble & configure-to-order
Where quoting complexity concentrates — and where Genesis starts.
- Options with dependencies, exclusions, prerequisites — quoted valid, every time.
- Pricing that moves with the configuration, computed live.
- Start with the product line whose quotes hurt most.
Engineer-to-order
Two lanes, honestly labeled.
- Running today: parts storefronts against your install base, entitlements computed live — the door most ETO manufacturers enter through.
- In build with design partners: bid-team quoting, cost-plus estimation, engineering calculations inside the quote. If bids are your pain, help shape it.
One honest boundary: if your buyers need CAD-rendered configuration to purchase, we’re not your platform. If your engineers use CAD but your buyers need a priced bid — that’s exactly who we built this for.

Frequently asked questions
Two lanes: the aftermarket — parts, service, Install Base — executes on Genesis today. Bid-team quoting with cost-plus estimation is in active build with design partners. What Genesis doesn’t do is buyer-facing CAD-rendered configuration.
That’s the design. Your distributors and dealers execute through portals against your live catalog and pricing — your catalog scope, their pricing tier, your approval rails.
One expensive pain first — typically the worst-quoting product line or the parts storefront — proven in production, expanded on your timeline. No rip-and-replace.
