Turn complex products into online sales.

A 3D product configurator is interactive software that lets customers put together a product online themselves. They choose for example dimensions, materials, colours and finishes and see the changes straight away in a 3D view. Depending on the implementation, prices are also calculated automatically. This simplifies the sales process and reduces the effort spent on manual quotes.

A 3D viewer lets you look at a product from different angles. A 3D configurator goes a step further: customers can change the product themselves, for example by choosing different dimensions, materials or finishes. The configurator takes technical rules into account and can calculate the matching price automatically. A simple product visualisation becomes an interactive sales tool.

A 3D product configurator is particularly suited to products with many variants or custom options. Typical examples are furniture, windows, doors, stairs, pergolas, machines and industrial components. A configurator makes most sense when customers currently ask a lot of follow-up questions or when custom quotes have to be prepared by hand. A configurator simplifies this process and makes complex products easier to understand.

At semanu the cost consists of a one-off implementation fee and a fixed monthly fee for SLA, hosting and maintenance. The implementation fee depends on factors such as the complexity of the product, the number of variants, the 3D models required and the integrations you want. In a first conversation we analyse your requirements and show you which solution makes sense for your product.

The development time depends on the complexity of your product and the features you want. A configurator with a few variants can be delivered faster than a solution with extensive product rules, automatic pricing and an ERP connection. The availability of existing 3D models also plays a role. After an initial analysis we can estimate the effort and draw up a realistic timeline.

Not necessarily. If suitable 3D models already exist, they may serve as the basis for the configurator. If there are no models yet, we first look at how the required 3D data can be created. What matters is the complexity of the product and the configuration options you want. Together we determine which data is needed and how your product can best be visualised.

Yes. A 3D product configurator can be integrated into an existing website or webshop, provided the technical requirements are met. Customers can then configure their products directly on your website without having to visit a separate platform. Depending on the integration, configurations can also be passed on to your shopping basket, your CRM or your ERP system.

Yes. A 3D configurator can automatically calculate the price of a custom configuration based on the pricing rules you set. It takes into account dimensions, materials, finishes and additional options, for example. On that basis it can also generate quotes, bills of materials and technical documents. This reduces manual calculations, avoids errors and speeds up the handling of customer enquiries.

Yes. Our 3D product configurators can be connected to existing ERP, CRM and production systems through suitable interfaces. Product configurations, customer details, prices and orders can then be transferred automatically. A customer enquiry flows straight into your existing sales or production process. Which integrations are possible depends on the technical interfaces of your systems.
