Product Configurators -- Making Home Renovations Easy

Home renovation projects are fun to do, provided you have all the right products at your disposal. If you don’t, renovation can lead to disaster. That’s why before any renovation is done, it’s vital to get all the products you need, based on your home’s specifications. While that sounds easy, in reality, you’re faced with the challenge of finding these products since not all stores carry the items you’re looking for. What’s worse is that if you end up settling for products just to get the renovation done, your renovation project may end up becoming a complete overhaul of your home’s appearance. To avoid this type of problem, lumber and building materials companies are now encouraging customers to use a product configurator.

How Product Configurators Help Homeowners with Their Renovation

Over the years, lumber and building materials stores have integrated a product configurator into their e-commerce business. With this system in place, customers are able to get the right products that match their home’s design and measurements. Here are some of the benefits homeowners can experience when using a product configurator for their renovation project:

1.         Provides a Visual Of The Products You Want

Product configurators give you visual representation of the products you’re building. These visuals are updated in real-time whenever you add a new hardware or change its material or color. This interactive set-up gives customers the benefit of actually seeing what their products will look like, allowing them to have an idea whether it will work with their current renovation project or not.

2.         Eliminates Trial and Error

Since the product configurator gives customers a visual representation of the products they’re building, they get to do away with costly trial and errors. Most homeowners normally deal with this problem when settling for other products. By giving customers the tools to create and specify measurements, color, material, as well as other hardware options, they’re guaranteed to get products that will blend with their household’s design and layout. 

3.        Design Multiple Products

When it comes to home renovation, customers won’t be looking for just one product. They’ll be looking to get everything they need to get their project done. This is what makes a product configurator useful since it not only allows customers to design one product—it lets them create multiple product items they need for their renovation project. With the ability to create multiple project folders, customers can create and save different items for their current and even their future projects.

4.         Saves Time and Money

By giving your customers the ability to create and design the products they need, they get to save time and money by not going to your stores and settling for products just because they can’t find what they’re looking for. It allows them to pay for what they really need and you get to avoid the hassles of dealing with complaints and product returns. That’s good in the short term but in the long term, it builds trust since customers know that they can rely on you not to take advantage of them.

5.         Real-Time Pricing

Whether your customers are looking to splurge or are working on a budget, having a product configurator will give them the ability to track the cost of the products their building in real-time. Every part, material, paint, and other aspects of the product are computed and factored into the overall cost. These pricing are displayed in the system and are updated as the product is being configured and built. This makes it easier for your customers to see whether they’re sticking to their budget or going above it.
Home renovation projects don’t have to be difficult, especially when you have the right products with you. With a product configurator, your customers can easily build the products they need to finish up their projects just the way they envision it.
