STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov 6, 2008 - Tacton Systems, global vendor of sales and product configuration software, announced today that Solid Solution Management has signed a reseller agreement for TactonWorks – whereby Tacton Configurator is embedded in SolidWorks as an add-in product. TactonWorks supports manufacturers in generating custom configured quotations and drawings for order processing.

Solid Solutions Management, the UK’s leading SolidWorks reseller based in Warwick, is specifically focused on the delivery and support of SolidWorks products for the mainstream mechanical design market. The company provides solutions for a wide range of industries throughout the UK, ranging from the power and marine industries to automotive and retail.

TactonWorks is geared to manufacturers with a need for order-specific customization of the product design, e.g. engineer-to-order, assemble-to-order, or configure-to-order, where rules can define what is a valid design for the customer’s requirements. TactonWorks offers significant advantages in interactivity, validation, and ease of maintenance over competing Knowledge Based Engineering solutions for SolidWorks, in much the same way as 3D CAD has these advantages over 2D CAD.

The agreement will add to Tacton's growing global exposure by providing access to Solid Solutions' customer base in the UK, where they work with around 2,000 clients.

"The formal arrangement with Tacton is a perfect fit with our intention of bringing better design efficiencies and productivity to our customers," says Alan Sampson, Managing Director of Solid Solutions Management. "We do a lot of bespoke programming for organizations, and we want to make that easier for companies to manage by themselves, leveraging technologies such as TactonWorks to streamline efficiencies in design and development."

"The agreement with Solid Solutions Management is an important opportunity for us to reinforce our presence in the UK region, which is a significant hub for design and manufacturing, and also to bring ourselves closer to a key SolidWorks solutions provider," says Christer Wallberg, CEO, Tacton Systems.
