Illustrative example workflow

Dealer fixture portal → configure-to-order

Illustrative workflow for a fixture maker selling through dealers who need option control without shop chaos. Labeled as example — not a live case study with logos.

Not a named customer logo. Illustrative example for sales conversations. Replace with named pilots when customers approve publication. Industry context: Architectural millwork & fixtures.

Challenge

What was broken.

  • 01

    Dealers marked up catalogs; shops reinterpreted dimensions and hardware kits.

  • 02

    Invalid shelf density and finish combinations reached estimating late.

  • 03

    Brand disappeared into generic PDF packets.

Approach

How VendorCAD fits.

  • 01

    Expose only dealer-safe option trees on a branded configurator.

  • 02

    Preview fixtures in 3D before anyone opens CAD.

  • 03

    Route quote requests into the manufacturer inbox with frozen options.

Outcomes

What improves (qualitative).

  • 01

    Dealers configure within manufacturable rules without a factory CAD ticket first.

  • 02

    Hardware kits stay aligned with the selected base configuration.

  • 03

    Factory follow-up starts from structured params, not paraphrased email.
