The first configurator in the access control industry

A UK manufacturer of pedestals, posts, and mounting hardware for access control systems. Like most companies in their space, they sold through a network of distributors and installers, with a catalog that had grown to over 100 variations: three product lines, five heights, two top shapes, multiple fixing styles, and any RAL color a project called for.

Every order started with an email or a phone call. Distributors and installers would describe what they needed, usually incompletely: a height without a fixing style, a color name instead of a RAL code, a device count that didn't match the top plate. The sales team spent its days translating rough requests into buildable specs, and every missing detail added another day before the quote could go out.

The catalog technically had all the answers. Nobody could navigate it.

A visual configurator covering the full pedestal range. Buyers walk through every decision in order, with a live preview updating at every step:

• Product line, height, top shape, device count, fixing style, and color: every decision in order, with a live preview at each step.
• RAL colors searchable by code or name.
• Incompatible combinations never appear. An incomplete request can't be submitted.
• A rendered preview of the exact configuration, submitted as a complete, buildable spec.

At the end, the buyer gets a rendered preview of their exact configuration and submits a complete spec. The manufacturer's team receives it ready to quote: every field present, every combination valid.
