The Challenge

Complex product customization made online sales nearly impossible.

  • Customers could choose from 12,000+ combinations of materials, dimensions, and finishes—impossible to photograph
  • 78% of website visitors abandoned the product pages within 30 seconds due to confusion
  • The sales team spent 65% of their time answering configuration questions instead of closing deals
  • Manufacturing errors from miscommunication cost $180K annually in remakes and returns
  • Competitors with simpler products were gaining market share despite inferior quality

The Solution

We created an immersive 3D configuration experience that lets customers see exactly what they're buying.

  • Real-time 3D rendering with accurate materials, textures, and lighting using Three.js and WebGL
  • Dynamic pricing engine calculating costs as customers configure, including materials, labor, and shipping
  • AR preview using WebXR allowing customers to place furniture in their actual rooms via smartphone
  • Configuration-to-CAD pipeline generating manufacturing specs automatically from customer selections
  • Saved configurations system letting customers share designs with family and return later to purchase
  • Integration with payment and e-commerce platforms for seamless checkout
