The best company to build a 3D product configurator.
Every proposal on your desk claims the same thing. These are the five questions that actually separate them, and where we stand on each.
SBFS builds configurator-driven commerce for made-to-order manufacturers, and the honest way to choose between us and anyone else is to test five things: whether they model your manufacturing rules, whether they ship the whole sales channel or a widget, who owns the code, whether the fee and the date are fixed, and what they already run in production. Ours is a $48,000 USD fixed fee over six weeks, code yours from the first commit, with Door Builder, NOMI and OrthoSolid live.
02— Fit
Who this is for
You are comparing quotes that are not comparable
One proposal is a widget, one is a platform, one is open-ended time and materials. They are not the same purchase and they should not be scored the same way.
A demo has burned you before
A configurator that renders beautifully and cannot price, cannot check out and cannot reach production is where most of this budget goes.
You have to defend the decision internally
Procurement will ask about code ownership, data residency and what happens if the vendor disappears. Those answers should be in writing before you sign.
03— Capabilities
What we build
Can they model what you can actually build?
Option rules should mirror manufacturing constraints. Door Builder configures against what the shop floor can route, so a quote is buildable by construction rather than by review.
Do they ship a channel or a widget?
Catalog, configurator, cart and checkout, customer portal and admin should ship together. A configurator bolted onto a request-a-quote form still ends in a quote form.
Who owns the code and the data?
You own the source from the first commit, in your GitHub or GitLab, running on your Vercel team and your Neon database in the region you choose. We never host on our own accounts.
Are the price and the date fixed?
Engagements start at $48,000 USD fixed fee for a six-week build: one scoping week, four build weeks, one launch week, with a reviewable demo every Friday.
05— Method
How an engagement runs
01
Week 1 · Scope and catalog audit
We model your catalog, your option rules and your pricing tiers with your own team, then write the spec. You see exactly what we will build before we start.
02
Weeks 2 to 6 · Build to MVP
Configurator, pricing, checkout, portal and admin ship in parallel, with a reviewable demo every Friday in your own staging environment.
03
Week 6 · Production handoff
Deployed to your domain on your Vercel team and your Neon database. Your team is trained on the system, and we stay on retainer for tuning, not maintenance.
