Configurator Expert - Residential Mailboxes

One of our clients, who sells residential mailboxes, previously had to create a new drawing for each new mailbox configuration. Sometimes they could reuse elements from previously designed configurations, but even then, a significant amount of drawing work was still required. This was a process they wanted to speed up and automate—a perfect task for Yucon.

We developed an Expert version of our product configurator, fully tailored to their needs. Through a form, they can input the parameters for a mailbox configuration, such as the type, dimensions, any extras, the specific layout for each mailbox module, the number of vertical and horizontal mailbox modules, the color, and more. After filling in the form, the software generates a 3D model of the mailbox that meets all the entered parameters. Additionally, the software also creates workshop drawings for the mailbox.

By keeping the form as simple as possible, extensive CAD knowledge is not required, and anyone—from a designer to a salesperson—can quickly and easily generate a new mailbox configuration. This greatly reduces the time needed to design a new configuration. Thanks to our Expert platform, the form can even be filled out online, allowing a company representative to complete it on-site with the customer. The designer only needs to review the drawing and possibly add some comments before these drawings can be sent directly to the production workshop.
