In contract you do not sell one bed: you sell 120, in three sizes, with two headboards and the fabric the interior designer chose. The order is decided by a specifier who is not the one paying, goes through a tender or a site manager, and changes three times before it is closed. A 3D configurator for contract does what a private customer's does not need: orders by units and variants, a PDF for the project, a data sheet for the tender and a configuration shared with everyone who has a say.
Four things a configurator for private customers does not do and one for contract has to do.
The order states how many units of each variant are needed (40 of 90, 60 of 135, 20 of 150; two headboards; one fabric) and generates an order sheet with the price list's volume discount, for the sales team to confirm. It is the hotel order in the bedroom demo.
The interior designer or the architect needs the image of the configuration, the data sheet with sizes and materials and the references for the project. It comes out of the configurator as a PDF that is attached to the project, with the manufacturer's brand or the contract distributor's.
The configuration is saved with a link and a QR code and is opened by the specifier, the owner, the site manager and the installer. When the interior designer changes the fabric, everyone sees the same version, and the previous one is not lost.
In public space and public works the order is a tender: sizes, materials, finishes, anchors and references in writing. The configurator generates them from what was configured, as in the street furniture demo. See how to order street furniture for a tender.
Examples from the open demos, with sample products and prices.
Modular bench workstations, with screens, pedestals and power; from one workstation to a whole floor, with the units of each variant in the order. See how to configure bench office furniture.
Beds, headboards, storage bases and bedside tables with the project's fabrics; the hotel order by sizes and units, with the volume discount, and the PDF for the interior designer.
Benches, litter bins and planters with materials, finishes and anchors; the sheet with sizes and references a tender requires, and the image for the project report.
Light fittings by family, finish and colour temperature, switched on at night, with the data sheet and the quantity per room for the lighting project.
Fewer renders per project, fewer rewritten quotes and an order that arrives complete.
The interior designer builds the project's variant with the real fabrics and finishes, sees the image and downloads the sheet, without asking for a render or waiting for a sales rep. The manufacturer appears in the project before a price is requested.
Every change in the project (another fabric, twenty more beds, the tall headboard) is a new version of the same configuration, with its recalculated price and its PDF. The final order sheet comes out of the last approved version.
The order sheet by units and variants reaches the projects sales rep with the volume discount applied; they review it, negotiate whatever needs negotiating and confirm it. See 3D configurator for the sales team.
Two developments are not needed: ordering by units, the project PDF and the volume discount are added to the website configurator. Which documents come out of each level, in documents a 3D configurator generates.
Development starts from €6,500 for a visual configurator of one product family; most manufacturer projects fall between €14,500 and €35,000, depending on catalogue, rules and integrations, plus maintenance from €190/month. Ordering by units and variants and the project PDF are at the level with rules and price.
There are more short answers in frequently asked questions about 3D configurators and who we are in 3D configurator company.
Yes. The project order states how many units of each variant are needed (sizes, finishes, fabrics) and generates the order sheet with the price list's volume discount, for the sales team to confirm. It is the hotel order in the bedroom demo.
A PDF for the project with the image of the configuration, the data sheet with sizes and materials and the references, and a link with a QR code to open it again and share it with the owner and the site manager. 3D files or drawings for the project, if needed, are agreed in the proposal.
Yes. From what was configured, the configurator generates the sizes, materials, finishes, anchors and references a tender requires, as in the street furniture demo, and the image for the report.
Yes. The configuration is saved with a link; every change is a new version with its price and its PDF, and the previous one is not lost. Specifier, owner, site manager and installer see the same version.
No. Ordering by units and variants, the project PDF and the volume discount are added to the same website configurator; the private customer sees their flow and the professional logs in with their user.
Development starts from €6,500 for a visual configurator of one product family; most manufacturer projects fall between €14,500 and €35,000, depending on catalogue, rules and integrations, plus maintenance from €190/month.
