Customers build the product themselves. You get a finished request with sizes, price and parts list.
Larssons Webb develops web-based product configurators in 2D and 3D for manufacturers and dealers. Customers choose sizes, design and extras directly on your website and send a request that contains everything needed for a quote.
From a general enquiry to a complete brief
Without a configurator
- The customer sends a general question about price.
- Sizes, design and extras have to be confirmed afterwards.
- The quote is calculated by hand while the customer waits.
- Wrong sizes or combinations that cannot be made are found late.
With a configurator
- The customer has chosen sizes, design and extras.
- Only combinations that can be manufactured can be selected.
- The price is calculated instantly from your pricing rules.
- The request arrives with a parts list and can be answered the same day.
Benefits for your business
- 01
Faster quotes
Requests arrive with sizes, choices and a parts list. Nobody needs to call back and recalculate.
- 02
Fewer incorrect orders
The rules for what can be manufactured live in the configurator, so customers can only choose combinations that work.
- 03
Clearer buying decisions
Customers see the product with dimensions in 2D and from every side in 3D before sending the request, which reduces misunderstandings and later changes.
- 04
Accurate price and parts list
The price is calculated from the parts list using your own prices, so it matches what is actually delivered.
For products made to measure
Suits manufacturers and dealers whose products come in many variants, where today the customer has to get in touch to get a price.
- Carports, sheds and garages
- Garage and workshop fittings
- Shelving and warehouse racking
- Kitchens, wardrobes and furniture
- Fences, railings and stairs
- Trailers, truck beds and bodies
Three ways to introduce a product configurator
The right solution depends on the product, the range and the size of the company.
Large CPQ systems
Built for large manufacturers with many sales staff and integrated business systems. Extensive features, but licences and rollout often cost more than a smaller company gets back.
Off-the-shelf tools with a monthly fee
Quick to start with if the product fits the tool’s templates. Limited when the product has its own rules, and the fee runs for as long as the tool is used.
A custom configurator
What Larssons Webb specialises in. The configurator is developed around your rules and your range, integrated into your existing website and owned by you. No monthly licence fee.
How a project works
- 01
Product review
The product, its sizes, its extras and the rules for what can be manufactured are mapped out together with you.
- 02
Prototype
You test an early version with your own product and give feedback.
- 03
Pricing and integrations
Prices and the parts list are added. Requests can be sent by email or to your CRM or business system.
- 04
Launch
The configurator goes live on your website. Sizes, extras and prices can be updated after launch.
Experience
The background is software development for the manufacturing industry, with product configurators and planning tools for manufacturers. Client projects are confidential and are therefore not shown here. The demo was made to show how a configurator works.
Technology
The configurator runs directly in the browser and needs no installation. The 2D drawing is built with Konva.js and the 3D model with Babylon.js, and the solution is adapted to the platform you already use.
Common questions about product configurators
How much does a product configurator cost?
The price depends mainly on how many choices and rules the product has, whether it should be shown in 2D, 3D or both, and whether requests should connect to a CRM or business system. A product with a few sizes and extras is a smaller project than a whole range. Describe your product and you will receive a quote.
What is CPQ?
CPQ stands for configure, price, quote. A product configurator with price calculation and a parts list provides the same function directly on the website, without an extensive business system.
What is a 3D configurator?
A 3D configurator shows the product as a three-dimensional model that updates with every choice. Customers can rotate and zoom the model and see exactly what they are ordering.
What do we receive when the customer is done?
A request with the customer’s choices, the calculated price and a parts list with items and quantities, by email or directly to your CRM or business system.
Do we need a new website?
No. The configurator is integrated into the website you already have.
Can we see configurators you have developed?
Earlier client projects are confidential. The carport demo was made to show how it works, and in a meeting the approach and technical solutions can be presented in more detail.
