Templates are extremely useful, particularly for complex products that need to meet special technology requirements. Without a template, you would need to configure the products in the product configurator every time.

Once you have created your templates, you can inquire about projects or products quickly, edit them or initiate an order directly. Use the templates to calculate your individual price in a matter of seconds and instantly request the corresponding quotation with your next click. If something about the products changes, you can modify the templates at any time. The only requirement for benefiting from the full range of Online Support functions is that you register as a user.
