Stop quoting configurable products by hand

Five-second test: does the customer choose dimensions or options, do some combinations become invalid depending on what else is chosen, does someone redo similar CAD or calculations for every enquiry? Three yes answers, it fits.

It's not complexity that decides, it's repetition. A simple product you quote fifty times a year in slightly different dimensions is a better fit than a highly complex one-off that's never quite the same twice. A project rarely gets hard because of geometry, it gets hard because of rules that exist only in one person's head and were never written down. We work that out in the feasibility workshop below. If every job at your company is a complete redesign with nothing that repeats, a configurator is the wrong tool. We'll tell you that.

Drawings or CAD of one reference product, the rules and limits that constrain it, your cost and price logic, and roughly three to four working sessions with whoever actually knows the product. Most of the work is ours, not yours.

Four things make up the price:

• Feasibility workshop: half a day, fixed price confirmed upfront, a written scope and effort estimate. If the project goes ahead, the workshop fee is deducted from the build price.
• Build: one-off, priced after the workshop based on scope.
• DynaMaker platform licence: monthly, per application, passed through at cost, we don't mark it up.
• Operation and maintenance: monthly, covers updates to rules, materials, limits and prices.

ERP integration is scoped and quoted separately, see “How does it connect to our systems?” below.

Typical go-live is 8–12 weeks from the first call. Where you land in that range depends on how many variants you have, how well your rules are already documented (a written spec sheet saves weeks over knowledge in someone's head), and whether a system integration is part of phase one or comes later.

Three levels; the first is usually the right place to start. Standalone: rules and prices live in the configurator, output as DXF, STEP, a bill of materials or a PDF quote.

Data sync: your system writes a nightly export automatically, no manual step, the configurator always reads current components, prices and lead times from it.

Full integration: a live two-way connection including order creation, scoped as its own project once the configurator is running.

It embeds directly into your existing website in all three cases, exactly like the pergola demo on this site.

The app runs on DynaMaker, an established platform, not on infrastructure of ours. We build it in the KonfigX DynaMaker account and transfer it into your own account once it's ready, you get full access to the code and everything in it, you are not locked to us. DynaMaker also has other partners internationally who can take over an existing application if that's ever needed. Day to day, we handle updates whenever your specs, materials, limits or prices change.
