Product Configurator Development: Click Variants Instead of Calculating Quotes

A configurator is worthwhile when your product has many variants whose price and feasibility depend on fixed rules – for example made-to-measure products, machines, furniture, windows, print products or service packages. The more often your sales team calculates similar quotes by hand, the greater the benefit. For very individual one-off pieces, a structured inquiry assistant may make more sense, which we also implement.

The costs depend mainly on the number of rules, the type of visualization and the interfaces. We usually implement configurators with a rule set, live pricing and PDF quote in the Professional package from €8,000; 3D configurators with ERP integration or dealer pricing are quoted individually as Enterprise projects. You receive the exact quote after the free initial consultation, preferably at a fixed price when the scope is clearly defined.

The biggest influences are how well your rule set is prepared and – with 3D – the product models. If variants, prices and models are available in structured form, development goes much faster. You receive a binding schedule after the variant workshop.

A 2D configurator with overlaid product images is quicker to implement and is entirely sufficient for many products. A 3D configurator is worthwhile when customers need to see shape, proportions or details from all sides, for example with furniture, machines or vehicle equipment. The prerequisite is suitable 3D data, which can often be prepared for the web from existing CAD files.

Yes. We hand over finished configurations as an inquiry to your CRM, as a bill of materials or order to your ERP, or as a shopping cart to your online store. Conversely, prices and item master data can come from the ERP, so they only need to be maintained in one place.

Yes, that is what the admin area is for. There you maintain options, prices, dependencies, texts and images yourself and check changes to fundamental rules in a preview beforehand. For new product lines or features, we support you as part of ongoing development.
