AV and stage design configurator SaaS.

Designing a custom backdrop used to need CAD software and someone trained to use it. Now your customers design it themselves in the browser, inside a subscription business that runs on its own.

The modular backdrop system in 3D, where customers start a design.

The short answer

SBFS builds design tools that AV and staging companies sell to their customers by subscription. AV Drop customers size backdrops and stages, place projection screens and adjust modular corners live in the browser on a ShapeDiver-powered parametric configurator, then export a dimensioned PDF spec in one click or an AI render of the design staged in a real room. Stripe subscriptions, usage credits, saved designs and per-organization inventory run the business underneath.

Who needs an AV and stage design configurator?

Your customers design before they buy

The design is the sale. If it needs CAD software and a specialist, every deal waits on your team instead of on the customer.

Your product is different for every event

Sizes, corners and screen placement change per event, so the tool has to compute the geometry rather than pick from a list.

You want recurring revenue, not projects

A subscription portal with usage credits turns a design tool into a product your customers renew.

02— Capabilities

What does a stage design configurator SaaS do?

Parametric 3D configurator

Designers size backdrops and stages, place projection screens and adjust modular corners live in the browser, with no CAD software required.

Client-ready output

A dimensioned PDF spec exported in one click, or an AI render of the design staged in a real room to put in front of the end client.

Subscriptions, credits and templates

Stripe subscriptions, usage credits, saved designs and reusable templates, so the tool is a product with a billing model rather than a demo.

One portal, every customer kept separate

Every customer organization keeps its own saved designs and its own per-organization inventory, so one tool serves the whole customer base without mixing them up.

Launched on your domain, then we stay on: new product lines, rules, prices and integrations, under the monthly fee of your tier. The code and data are yours.

05— FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they commit.

We publish our prices: a one-time Pilot, then build tiers priced in ranges, because a configurator that resizes the product within your fabrication rules and one that runs your whole sales operation are different jobs. Each build tier is a one-time setup plus a monthly fee for running and improving it. Pilot: $4,000 one-time, for your own product live in a working 3D configurator on your own site, priced, with the full fee credited to the build if you continue. Parametric: $20,000–$40,000 setup and $500–$1,500 a month, for any size the buyer types in, your fabrication rules, files for production, and a connection to your online store or ERP. Forge: from $50,000 setup and a monthly fee scoped with you, for your whole sales operation, from catalog to checkout, on a platform you own. For Parametric and Forge, Diagnose is included and ends with a quote inside your tier.

Yes. AV Drop runs Stripe subscriptions with usage credits, saved designs and reusable templates, so the design tool carries its own revenue model.

A dimensioned PDF spec in one click, or an AI render of their design staged in a real room. The point is that they leave with something they can hand to their own client.

You do: all of the source code, the platform framework included, and the data, with no license or per-seat fee. The repository can live in your GitHub or GitLab.

On Vercel and Neon, in the region you choose. It runs on your own accounts from the start, or on ours while we operate it, and we move it to yours whenever you ask.

Decision · Build or buy

Custom configurator or SaaS configurator?

A subscription configurator is faster to start and fine for a catalog of fixed products. The question is whether your rules, your pricing and your portal are the product.
