3D Configurator for Outdoor Living

Does This Sound Like Your Sales Team?

A typical day. $24K gone.

Custom pergolas quoted by hand. Hours lost to dimensions, mistyped specs, buyers who walk to the competitor with the 3D configurator. Sound familiar?

Buyer Can't Picture It on Their Patio

A homeowner wants to see a freestanding bioclimatic in anthracite vs bronze, with and without the side screens, before they commit. You email a flat render. They ask for two more color combos and a wider bay. Another hour gone.

We requested this quote on Monday. It's Wednesday. Any update?

Wrong Post Spacing Hits Fabrication

A 14-foot bay was transcribed as 12 feet between the order form and the cut sheet. The aluminum beams are already powder-coated and the louver blades sized to match. Two weeks of lead time, scrapped.
