Every quote is a separate file. Prices copied by hand, formulas that break, versions that get lost.

When the customer confirms, you start over. Data re-typed into the ERP, errors guaranteed.
How MMS streamlines the whole sales cycle for medium-voltage switchgear, removing manual errors and turning quotes into orders automatically.
A guided configurator replaces spreadsheets and applies price lists, discounts and technical constraints automatically.
Approved quotes become orders in one click, with no re-typing.
Every change to prices or components is reflected instantly in all new quotes across the sales network.

The quote configurator guides the sales engineer through building the switchgear: units, panels, accessories. The system calculates prices, discounts and totals automatically and blocks technically invalid combinations.
MMS applies incremental constraint propagation during configuration: every component you select filters the compatible options in real time, so invalid combinations simply cannot be built. Sales engineers do not need to know the technical rules — the system enforces them.
When the customer accepts, the quote becomes an order in one click. All the data already entered is kept: no manual transcription, no copying errors.
Every quote is produced in the customer’s language. You can also generate a bilingual document — two languages side by side — to remove any ambiguity in export markets.
A single source of truth for prices, accessories and technical constraints. Change a price once and every future quote reflects it immediately.
Role-based user profiles: sales sees quotes, production sees codes and layouts, shipping follows deliveries, finance checks payments.
An add-on module (not included in the base version) for creating quotes through a natural-language conversation. The user describes the switchgear to quote and the system builds the quote structure automatically, using prices and constraints from the real catalogue.
MMS Copilot brings the same constraint-propagation logic into a natural-language conversation — no forms, no drop-down menus. An emerging approach on proven foundations.

Hosted environment managed by CART. Updates and automatic daily backups included. Browser access, nothing to install locally.
Installed in your own infrastructure. Your data stays entirely on your premises — nothing goes to external clouds.
Using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central? MMS is also available as the MMS CPQ add-on that runs directly inside Business Central: configuration, technical validation and quotation without leaving your ERP.
MMS is developed and maintained by CART Ingegneria del Software, a registered innovative SME based in Pesaro, Italy. Founded in 1998 from university research in operations research, CART has delivered dozens of custom software solutions for industrial customers over more than 25 years.
CART’s core team is 3 senior engineers who follow every project from analysis to release, with the output of a much larger team thanks to AI-assisted development and a network of specialised developers. You always talk to the people who know your system in detail — no turnover, no change of contact.
Guaranteed continuity: the contract includes defined SLAs and a source-code escrow clause — you keep access to the code even if the relationship ends. MMS runs on standard technologies that third parties can maintain.

CPQ stands for Configure, Price, Quote: software that guides the sales engineer through the technical configuration of the switchgear, calculates the price from price lists and discounts, and produces a quote ready to send. For a medium-voltage switchgear manufacturer it replaces Excel sheets and Word documents with a single system: technical rules are centralised, prices are always up to date, and an accepted quote becomes an order without re-typing anything.
Typically 4–8 weeks from project start. The process includes loading the product catalogue, configuring price lists and discounts, setting up users and training. Timing depends on the complexity of the catalogue.
The product catalogue, price lists and customer records can be imported from Excel/CSV files. CART supports the migration as part of the start-up project.
MMS has a native integration with TeamSystem Gamma: when an order is confirmed, product codes, quantities, customer and payment terms are transferred automatically. For Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central there is MMS CPQ, a version of MMS built as an add-on that runs directly inside Business Central. For other ERPs (SAP, Zucchetti, etc.) a connector can be built via API or file exchange; time and cost are assessed during the analysis phase.
There is no technical limit on the number of users. The system supports role-based profiles (management, sales, production, shipping, finance). The number of licences is defined in the contract.
The price depends on the complexity of the catalogue, the number of users and the deployment model (cloud or on-premise). Contact us for a tailored quote — a demo is the quickest way to see whether MMS fits your company.
The contract includes a source-code escrow clause: you have guaranteed access to the code even if the relationship ends. MMS runs on standard, non-proprietary technologies that third parties can maintain.
Yes. In the cloud model, data is hosted on servers in Europe and the contract includes a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement. In the on-premise model, data stays entirely in your infrastructure. In both cases there are automatic daily backups and named, password-protected user accounts.
MMS is a web application: it runs in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) with nothing to install on users’ PCs. The cloud model only needs an internet connection; the on-premise model needs an internal server reachable from your network.
Yes. The interface and quote documents are multilingual (Italian, English, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, others configurable), quotes can be bilingual and MMS supports multiple currencies. The project, training and support can be carried out in English, remotely.
