At VividWorks, we help you to simplify the sale of complex, configurable products with 3D configurators and Visual CPQ solutions. We help you build a sales tool that fits your products and keep the process transparent and collaborative from start to finish. Here's how our process looks:

Step 1: Discovery & Alignment

We start by understanding your business and your products. In our first call, we’ll talk about:

  • How your products are designed and sold today
  • Where complexity causes delays, errors, or extra manual work
  • What experience you want for customers or sales teams
  • What are your goals for a 3D configurator

We’ll also show relevant examples from the VividWorks platform, so you can see how similar companies handle complex configuration.

The goal of this step is to make sure we are aligned before moving forward.

Step 2: Scoping the Project

If you liked what you saw and heard in the demo call and would like to get a quotation, we'll dive deep into the details to make this happen. This includes:

  • Use case review - identifying where and how the configurator will be used, workflows, and possible integrations.
  • Product(s) review – analyzing your product catalog, incl. variants, building structure, modules, elements, accessories, etc.
  • 3D assets review – to implement the configurator, we need 3D models of your products. If you don't have them, no problem! We can create them as separate services, or you can use a third party for this. Once we receive the 3D models, we'll check their quality (some optimization may be needed to guarantee the best visual performance in the configurator).

Step 3: Proposal

Based on the above information, we estimate the total workload required to build your configurator. After that, you’ll receive a detailed proposal that explains:

  • What will be built
  • The estimated hours and effort for each part of the work
  • The expected timeline
  • Which platform subscription fits your needs

We'll break everything down clearly so you know exactly what work is included and what it will cost.. We'll schedule a call to review the quote together and see if it aligns with your budget.

How Pricing Works

There are two costs associated with your VividWorks project:

  • Platform subscription - a monthly fee for the cloud-based SaaS platform itself. You can check our pricing plans here.
  • Implementation –the work needed to build and adapt the platform to your products and business

Step 4: Contract 

Once you're happy with the quote, we’ll formalize the purchase order, outline project deliverables and schedules, and introduce the team members who will be working with you.

Step 5: Implementation Kick-off & Development

Once the purchase order is signed, we'll officially kick off the project with a meeting between all people involved.

Our development process is iterative, and we keep you always updated via Slack, calls, and/or emails. You’ll receive a test configurator as soon as possible to track progress and provide feedback.

Step 6: Testing and Acceptance

Finally, it's your turn to test the configurator end-to-end. You'll verify:

  • Product building logic
  • User experience (UX)
  • Application inputs such as SKUs
  • Application outputs such as BOM and pricing
  • Integrations

We’ll support you throughout and make any necessary adjustments!

Step 7: Go Live! 

Once you've approved everything, your product configurator is ready to go live!

But our journey doesn't end there. Your 3D configurator will enter the support and maintenance phase with our dedicated team ready to assist with updates and ensure everything runs smoothly!

We make sure your 3D configurator is delivered on time, on budget, and exactly as you envisioned. With us, you can rest easy knowing you're incapable hands.
