Why Companies Like These Choose Salsita Over Tacton?

Built Around Your Product

Every configurator is fully tailored. From UI to logic to backend. No rigid templates. Just a smooth, on-brand experience designed around your product and process.

High-End, Low-Cost

You get a scalable configurator with a one-time setup, flexible pricing, and no per-transaction fees. And still cheaper than Tacton.

Live in Weeks, Not Months

We don’t drag out implementation. With a phased, agile approach, we get your configurator live within 12 weeks. Compared to the 6–8 month timelines of Tacton.

What You Get with Salsita
That Tacton Can’t Match

Product Configuration

Custom UX and UI

Salsita

We design the entire UI and UX in collaboration with your team, so the configurator looks, feels, and flows exactly how you need it to.

Tacton

UI is based on predefined templates with limited flexibility to match specific brand or UX requirements.

Custom Dimensions & Parametric Models

Salsita

Supports advanced parametric models with real-time updates to dimensions, shapes, and constraints directly in the 3D view.

Tacton

Real-time parametric 3D modeling is not supported. Parameters can be entered, but they don’t dynamically adjust the 3D model during configuration.

Salsita

Shows how product components move (sliding doors or rotating slats) so users clearly understand how the product works.

3D Model Animations

Tacton

No support for component animations. 3D models are static and do not demonstrate movement.

Custom Logic & Rules

Salsita

We implement all product logic for you including advanced rules, constraints, and dependencies. No coding needed on your side.

Tacton

Powerful rule engine, but requires using the Tactor platform to model and maintain the logic requires a steep learning curve.

Salsita

Built to handle modular products with components that can be added, repositioned, and resized in real time. Including drag-and-drop and nested structures.

Modular & Composite Products

Tacton

Supports modular configuration through rules, but users cannot directly interact with the 3D model to modify components.

Platform Features

Configurator Implementation

Salsita

Salsita delivers a fully custom configurator in 10–12 weeks using a phased, agile approach. Our team handles everything: UI, logic, and integrations.

Tacton

Implementations typically take 6–8 months, requiring coordination with internal teams or system integrators to build and configure the solution.

Conversational AI

Tacton

Does not offer a conversational AI or AI-powered interface in any form.

System Integrations

Salsita

Fully custom integrations with any ERP, CRM, PIM, or eCommerce platform.

Tacton

Extensive library of pre-built adapters (SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics, common PLM/CAD). Custom systems can be linked, but often via middleware or partner services.

Manufacturing Outputs

Salsita

Flexible export to CAD formats like STEP, DXF, or OBJ, adapted to your specific manufacturing or design workflow.

Tacton

CAD Automation add-on regenerates full SOLIDWORKS/Creo/Inventor models and drawings after configuration; delivers standard CAD formats once the add-on is licensed and set up.
