Mobile apps with 2D/3D configurators: capabilities and advantages

In which applications can the 2D and 3D configurator be implemented?

A 2D/3D configurator can exist in isolation or become part of other digital solutions. We will help you choose the optimal format.

• Standalone PWA application

An online configurator can be developed as a separate PWA application, where the user assembles the product and forms an order. Such a tool is especially convenient because it works directly from the browser on any device and is not inferior in functionality to native solutions.

If a company produces complex or modular products, the configurator can become part of a mobile application for partners and customers. The user configures the object for their tasks, sends the finished version directly to production, and all data is recorded in the corporate system.

• Online stores or marketplaces with configurators

The online configurator integrates into product cards and allows the buyer to select the necessary parameters in just a few clicks. The finished version can be automatically uploaded to the cart, simplifying the purchase process.

• CRM system with configurator

The configurator can be integrated into CRM as a module for recording orders. The user collects the configuration, and the system automatically saves it in the profile, forms the order and transfers it to the sales department or production.

• ERP and internal company services

In the B2B segment, the configurator helps to form commercial offers, specifications or technical tasks. The manager or client configures the product, and the system automatically calculates the cost and uploads the data to the ERP.

• Training and presentation platforms

Online configurators can be used in training applications and simulators, in product demonstrations at trade shows, or in interactive presentations for customers.

What does the app do with the online configurator?

Custom applications with 2D/3D configurators are high-tech tools with a wide range of capabilities.

• Real-time visual product assembly

Users can change key parameters: size, color, material, texture, shape, and packaging. All changes are instantly reflected on the screen.

• Automatic data upload

All data about the collected configuration is automatically recorded in the order card, eliminating errors and speeding up the purchase process. In addition, the application with the configurator can generate and export documentation: specifications, drawings or commercial offers in PDF format.

• Integration with CRM and ERP

The parameters of the selected product or package along with customer data can be automatically stored in your CRM or ERP system. This simplifies the work of managers and makes the funnel more manageable.

• Augmented Reality (AR) Integration

We can implement AR technology that will allow customers to see a virtual product in a real space. For example, how a sofa will look in a living room, or how appliances will fit into the interior.

• Photorealistic visualization

Using advanced technologies such as WebGL and Canvas to create detailed 3D models allows customers to rotate, scale, and view the product from any angle, getting the most accurate representation of it.

• Database integration

The program with a 2D/3D configurator can be synchronized with the product catalog, stock levels and price list. Selecting certain options automatically affects the final cost, and customers see only the options available for ordering.

Stages of developing an application with a configurator

Our approach to creating applications with 3D and 2D configurators allows us to guarantee a result that fully meets your expectations and business goals. The development process includes several stages.

1. Business task analysis. Development begins with studying the goals of implementing an application with an online configurator and the specifics of your business: product range, target audience, and sales channels. At this stage, the configurator format is determined - 2D or 3D visualization, as well as the implementation method - as part of an existing platform (website or mobile CRM/ERP) or a standalone PWA application that works without installation and is accessible from any device.
2. UX/UI design. At this stage, a convenient and adaptive interface is created, which should provide the simplest and most understandable process of product customization for all users. The UX/UI design of an application or module with a configurator takes into account the features of your product and the logic of the client's interaction with it.
3. Preparation of 3D and 2D models. We can download and optimize ready-made models or create from scratch using professional tools (Blender, 3ds Max, Figma, etc.). All materials are adapted to WebGL and Canvas, which provides photorealistic display, smooth rotation and scaling on any devices.
4. Implementation of software code and integration. At this stage, the main logic of the configurator is developed: changing parameters in real time, dynamic cost calculation, generation of specifications. The solution is integrated with CRM/ERP systems, payment services and warehouse modules to ensure full automation of the ordering process.
5. Testing and launch. After development is complete, QA specialists conduct comprehensive testing to verify the correctness and stability of all functions, performance, interface usability, calculation accuracy, and operation on different platforms.
6. Updates and support. After launching the application with a 2D/3D configurator, we offer technical support, updates and support, including functionality expansion - for example, connecting AR modules, an AI assistant or expanding the catalog.

Where are applications with 2D/3D configurators in demand?

Applications with configurators are a universal tool that effectively solves visualization and customization tasks in almost any industry that requires an individual approach to the product.

• Online furniture stores and interior design studios give buyers the opportunity to create custom-sized orders in an online furniture configurator, choose upholstery colors and materials, and immediately "try on" it in the room using augmented reality.
• Car dealerships and dealers, using an online car configurator, allow buyers to customize the car's configuration: body color, rims, interior, and additional options.
• Developers, manufacturers of building materials and components, facade and exterior configurators will use the configurator for construction and architecture to more accurately select finishes, facade systems, roofing, and other elements, taking into account sizes, colors, and materials, then form orders and transfer them to production.
• Architectural offices and interior design studios can show customers finishes, furniture, and layouts in 3D projections using an online configurator for interior renovation and design.
• E-commerce companies that sell clothing, accessories, and electronics allow customers to assemble their own product: from the color of sneakers in the clothing and shoe configurator to the customization of a laptop or smartphone in the PC and gadget configurator.
• At industrial enterprises, applications with equipment configurators help visualize and quickly calculate the cost of complex equipment, metal structures, or other industrial solutions.

Applications with 2D/3D configurators are also in demand in other, narrower areas – from jewelry to corporate products, where personalized choice is important. We can develop a mobile application with an online configurator for jewelry and accessories or a website for the production of branded and printed products with a configurator for packaging, business cards, seals.

What are the benefits of an application with a 3D/2D online configurator for business?

The application with online configurators gives businesses a number of significant advantages:

• Increase in sales and average check. The interactive selection process and the ability to see the result immediately encourage the customer to add more options. This not only increases conversion, but also directly increases the average check.
• Reduction of returns and errors. The customer immediately sees what they want to order, which eliminates misunderstandings and costly errors in production or assembly.
• Business process optimization. If the collected order is automatically uploaded to your CRM/ERP system, errors associated with manual data entry are eliminated, and order processing is faster.
• Improve user experience. Photorealistic 3D models can be rotated and viewed from all angles, providing an immersive, modern experience that increases brand loyalty.
• Strengthening your competitive position. By giving your customer the ability to personalize and visualize your product, you stand out from your competitors who still use static catalogs.
