Video walls: the JVW case study

When we built the JVW video wall configurator, we weren't just solving a technical problem - we were replacing a broken sales process. Just Video Walls sells modular display systems, and their clients need to configure dozens of screen combinations across different venues, each with unique specifications and pricing. Before the configurator, every quote was a manual email chain: customer requests come in, sales team assembles a spreadsheet, sends it back for review, gets feedback, revises again. This configurator case study is one we reference constantly because the pattern is so common.

The JVW configurator changed that overnight. A customer can now build their entire wall configuration themselves - choose dimensions, select panel types, add compute units, set refresh rates - and get an instant price. No back-and-forth. The video wall configurator handles all the complex rules: which resolutions work with which dimensions, power consumption calculations, space requirements. Sales cycles compressed, customers self-qualify, and the team spends time closing deals instead of assembling quotes. Quote time went from days to minutes.

Landscaping: Grass365 configurator

Landscaping pricing is deceptively complex. A garden design depends on soil type, sunlight exposure, local climate zone, plant varieties, installation labour, and ongoing maintenance. Grass365 faced a market where most competitors were still using phone calls and site visits to generate quotes. We built them a landscaping calculator that walks customers through their garden specifications and returns a complete quote including materials, installation, and quarterly maintenance costs.

What surprised us was how many landscape designers were actually using it to cross-sell maintenance contracts. The industry configurator didn't just speed up sales - it changed the sales conversation entirely. Instead of "what will this cost?", customers were asking "what if we added this feature?" The configurator became a discovery tool as much as a pricing tool. We've now seen this pattern repeat across six other landscaping companies we've worked with.

Textiles: fabric mill pricing tool

Textile pricing is where product configurator examples really start to show their value. A fabric mill quotes based on GSM (grams per square metre), minimum order quantities, dye lot requirements, weave patterns, and colour customisation. Traditional textile pricing happens via email conversations between procurement teams and mills - often taking weeks. We built a textile pricing tool for one of the UK's largest independent mills that lets distributors input their exact specifications and get an instant quote including MOQ pricing.

The configurator handles all the difficult rules: certain weaves don't work with certain GSM weights, colour mixing requires minimum quantities, bulk orders trigger different pricing tiers. When a distributor tries to configure an invalid combination, the tool automatically suggests viable alternatives and shows the price difference. This isn't just faster - it's actually better for the mill because customers can't submit unfeasible orders that tie up the quotation team.

Building materials: window and glazing distributors

Building materials distributors handle thousands of SKUs with building materials quoting that depends on frame material, glass specification, dimensions, thermal rating, and installation requirements. A single window quote might touch fifteen different pricing tables. We've built configurators for three major building materials suppliers, and in every case the payoff was identical: sales teams stopped spending 30% of their day assembling quotes and started spending it on actual sales.

What we learned is that building materials buyers want to self-serve their quotes but they also want expert guidance. The best configurators in this space combine instant pricing with smart rules that nudge customers toward better choices - upgrading to higher thermal ratings, selecting materials that are actually in stock, suggesting bulk discounts early in the decision process. The configurator becomes a sales tool disguised as a convenience tool.

Custom signage: illuminated sign pricing

Illuminated signage pricing involves material costs (aluminium, acrylic, paint), LED specification and power consumption, mounting hardware, installation complexity, and local electrical codes. Every sign is essentially custom. We built a signage pricing tool for an LED sign manufacturer that lets customers configure their sign's dimensions, choose materials and lighting options, specify installation location (wall, roof, ground), and get an instant installed price.

The configurator handles all the hidden complexity: LED cost calculation based on illumination area and brightness requirements, power consumption validation, local code warnings when configurations might require additional electrical work, installation cost variation based on mounting complexity. Most importantly, it eliminated "that price isn't what I quoted yesterday" conversations because every quote is built from the same rules.

The common thread across all five industries

What connects these product configurator examples - video walls, landscaping, textiles, building materials, and signage - is that they all had the same fundamental problem: pricing complexity that made manual quoting inevitable. Each industry had experienced salespeople who'd built mental models of what combinations work and which don't. Every company thought their business was too specialised for an industry configurator.

Here's what we learned building 200+ products with a 5.0 rating on Clutch: every complex product business has this problem. The role of a good configurator is to capture the expertise that currently lives in spreadsheets and make it scalable. The pattern is always identical - compression of sales cycles, higher conversion rates, and sales teams that finally have time to sell instead of quote. If your industry uses email-based quoting, you're leaving revenue on the table. DM me if you want to explore what a configurator could do for your business.
