Configuring Future Living: The NEOM Project

"No longer the sleeping giant of the construction world, configuration software has stormed the scene, revolutionizing the industry in ways never thought possible."If this statement made you roll your eyes, be ready to change your tune. Powerful configuration software is becoming the unsung hero of sustainable and efficient building, bringing a future-forward approach to SIBS participation in the  grandiose NEOM project. This blog post isn't about a mere change in the construction industry - it's about a configuration uprising, where configuration software takes the lead in orchestrating urban development masterpieces.

In the heart of Saudi Arabia, a mega-city named NEOM is rising - a city that is setting the benchmark for future urban developments. This transformation is partly supported by SIBS AB, tasked with the venture of constructing 2,174 apartments. But how does a company approach a project of such scale, under the piercing eyes of global scrutiny, ensuring quality, sustainability, and timely delivery?

The answer - configuration software, design automation and Tacton CPQ.

Configuration software might seem like an odd key player in a project of this magnitude. But the devil is in the details - and configuration is all about mastering those details. CPQ software is enabling SIBS to streamline processes, maximize efficiencies, and ensure that every apartment built is a paragon of sustainable living.

The software's strength lies in its ability to customize and adapt to specific project requirements. Its intelligent automation capabilities allow for quicker, error-free design and configuration processes, crucial for maintaining the project's ambitious timelines.

Additionally, CPQ's ability to seamlessly integrate with other tools used by SIBS – like CRM, ERP, and PLM systems – enhances the communication and transparency among different project teams. This ensures a cohesive approach to building, where each apartment aligns with the NEOM project’s vision of futuristic, sustainable living.

With configuration models and data stored, future similar projects can leverage these blueprints, speeding up the initial project stages. Thus, CPQ not only aids in the current project but sows the seeds for accelerated progress in future constructions.

With CPQ the project goes beyond just providing a software solution - it represents a tectonic shift in the construction industry, with configuration software taking center stage. The project, in its magnitude and vision, is a testament to the future of construction, where technology and innovation shape sustainable, efficient, and intelligent living spaces.

Configuring future living isn't a hypothetical concept anymore - it's happening right here, right now, in the heart of Saudi Arabia.
