The configurator access control already proved.
Access control manufacturers sell some of the most configurable hardware in B2B: heights, top shapes, fixing styles, device counts, RAL colors. A configurator lets distributors and installers spec all of it themselves and submit a complete, buildable order — and we know, because we built the first one in the industry.
The spec-chasing problem
Every order in access control starts with an email or a phone call. Distributors and installers describe what they need, usually incompletely: a height without a fixing style, a color name instead of a RAL code, a device count that doesn't match the top plate. Your sales team spends its days translating rough requests into buildable specs, and every missing detail adds another day before the quote goes out.
The catalog technically has all the answers. Nobody can navigate it.
This one is live — try it
We built the first full online configurator in the access control industry for a UK manufacturer: 100+ variations, three product lines, any RAL color. It became their best-performing product line at launch. Read the case study — or just play with it:

What your team receives
- A rendered preview of the exact configuration — product line, height, top shape, device count, fixing style, RAL color.
- A generated part number your factory already understands.
- A complete, buildable spec: every field present, every combination valid. Nothing to chase.
- RAL codes locked in — no more “RAL 9005 vs. 9011” email threads.
Questions, answered
Can it handle multiple product lines and every RAL color?
Yes. The access control configurator we built covers three product lines, five heights, two top shapes, multiple fixing styles, and any RAL color — searchable by code or name. Over 100 catalog variations live in one tool, and the rules engine only ever shows combinations your factory can actually build.
Can distributors and installers use it without training?
That is the design goal. Buyers walk through every decision in order, with a live preview at each step. Incompatible options never appear, and an incomplete spec cannot be submitted. If someone can order online anywhere else, they can use it.
Does it work without showing prices publicly?
Yes — most wholesale manufacturers start exactly there. The configurator collects a complete spec and sends it to your team, who quote through your normal process. Pricing can be added later, shown only to logged-in dealers, or never shown at all.
What does the buyer submit at the end?
A rendered preview of their exact configuration plus a complete, buildable spec — every field present, every combination valid, with a generated part number. Your sales team receives it ready to quote instead of starting a three-day email chain.
How long would this take for our catalog?
A working concept of your most quote-heavy product line takes about a week and is free. A full build is typically live in 4–5 weeks: one week of discovery, three weeks of build, one week of testing with your team.
