HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

The Advanced Configuration Engine That Innovative Manufacturers Trust

 

Asset 44@2x-1

Easy to Use Cloud-Based Admin With No-Code Maintenance

Logik.io is built for business admins to be able to manage end to end, without needing to learn new scripting language.  

Tacton usually requires heavy scripting and customization, and not all of their admin capabilities are cloud-based.

Handle Any Complexity Without Limits

Legacy tools that have been around for decades aren't able to keep up with the complexities that modern manufacturers require.  Performance issues and user experience challenges are the result. 

Logik.io's solving engine handles any complexity with lightspeed performance.

How Logik.io Compares to Tacton CPQ

When evaluating configuration solutions, make sure you understand these key differences. 

LOGIK.IO Tacton

Complex Rule Management

 Supported by Advanced Solving Engine & Advanced Function Builder Constraint-Based Engine Limits Complexity Handled
Visualization (CAD & 3D) Supported by Partners Threekit & KBridge
Salesforce Integration Built on Salesforce Data Model Disparate Data Model, Hard to Integrate & Maintain
Requires Custom Development Never Always
Headless & API-First Not Headless, Some Inflexible APIs
Guided Selling Smart guided selling messages, alerts, reccomendations "Constraint-Resolution Pop-Ups" Provide No Recommendations, Only Alerts for Compatibility
Performance Degradation for Complex Configurations Never, Solving Engine Supports Any Complexity End User Performance Issues When Many Rules Required
Cloud-based Administration Always Limited- some admin features only available on-prem

Understanding the Difference Between a "Solving Engine" and a "Constraint Engine"

Logik.io's Solving Engine gives you more power and flexibility, without sacrificing performance. 

SOLVING ENGINE

Always Finds the BEST Combination of Options and Features

  • Takes into account optimization techniques, algorithms, and rules to find the best combination of features to determine what is BEST
  • Allows for a broader range of available configurations, enabling customers to choose what aligns best with their needs

Allows for Flexible User Experience with Intelligent Guided Selling

  • Can offer real-time feedback, recommendations, and alternative configurations based on customer selections
  • Helps users make informed decisions, explore different options, and understand the implications of their choices

Handles Complex Configurations With Lightspeed Performance

  • Handle a wide range of features, options, and variations with complex product hierarchies, interdependencies, and compatibility constraints- without sacrificing performance (unlike constraint engine)
  • Scalable- as complexity increases, performance does not decrease
CONSTRAINT ENGINE

Focuses Only on Returning “Valid” Configurations, Not Best Configurations

  • Eliminates invalid configurations BUT does not optimize for the BEST suited configuration
  • Can only solve for  what is valid, but does not evaluate all relevant rules to determine what is BEST
  • Great for engineering configuration (“this can only go with that”) but not for sales configuration

Inflexible UX: Can Only Show “Valid/Invalid,” no Guidance or Recommendations

  • Cannot show “alternative” recommendations- all it knows is how to show you one single “valid configuration”
  • Limits ability for user to explore different configurations that  might better suit their needs
  • Tacton displays a “constraint resolution popup” whenever invalid selections are made, poor user experience without guidance
  • Does not have the ability to provide prescriptive recommendations or expert guidance, only can tell you what’s incompatible

Performance Limitations for Large Catalogs or Complex Configurations

  • Constraint engines struggle to efficiently process and verify configurations in a timely manner with lots of rules or dependencies to process
  • Causes longer processing time and performance issues (spinning wheels)

Considerations to Make When Evaluating Logik.io & Tacton

Logik.io is completely Cloud-Based

At a high-level, Logik.io's solving engine ensures that no matter how complex your configurations get, we'll be able to handle it without sacrificing any performance whatsoever.  

Logik.io's solving engine only processes relevant rules to a given selection during the config experience, meaning it does not have to check each and every rule every time to see if it is constrained.  

Constraint-based engines not only run into performance issues with high volumes of rules, but also is only able t o solve for "valid" or "compatible" configurations, but is unable to solve for the "optimal" configuration based on your customer's needs.   

Logik.io is completely headless and API-first, making omni-channel setup a breeze.  

Other vendors claim to have APIs that make this easy, but actually require a lot of manual work. 

Ask how they partner with Salesforce now that they are an Epicor company.  

Logik.io is backed by Salesforce Ventures, and is the go-to partner for advanced configuration for the Salesforce team.
