Configurator-based Guided Selling and Quoting for Window & Door Manufacturers

Streamline the selling process for residential and commercial fenestration products

BuyDesign® provides a powerful window and door product configurator, and a comprehensive window and door guided selling solution.

Whether it's residential or commercial, new construction or remodeling, mass-produced developments or single custom homes, the fenestration industry is highly competitive, with constant pressure on both service and price.

As a manufacturer in this industry, gaining and keeping market share is critical. To do so, you must be easy to do business with while offering high quality products that have the flexibility to meet the combined needs of owners, architects, and builders. Customers want to be able to create customized single and combination units - ready for installation at the job site. This can make window and door solutions quite complex:

• Products can have a wide range of options in terms of construction, size and shape, internal and external finish, glass type, muntin styles, etc.
• Units need to be specified based on rough opening, stock sizes, and/or exact size.
• Combination units must allow for visual grill bar alignment across units in a mulled assembly.
• And of course, building standards must be met and warranty claims must be minimized.

The sales process can be equally complex. In addition to providing the right information and tools to your direct sales people, you must also be equipped to work smoothly with the dealers and distributors that make up your extended sales channels. Deals are won when you make it easy for them to find exactly what they need and rapidly produce winning quotes or bid packages for their customer. Their loyalty is maintained when, together, you consistently enter accurate orders and reliably deliver on time - and when you do it all at a competitive and profitable price.

Taken together, these factors require that you strive to streamline every aspect of your operations, from product design, through sales, production, and customer service.
