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.

The short answer

SBFS builds custom configurators, and will still tell you when a subscription one is the right call. A SaaS configurator starts faster and is fine for a fixed catalog with light options. Custom wins when the rules are the product: Muebles Torga needed compatibility rules a template tool cannot express, and AV Drop needed the configurator to be the product itself, with Stripe subscriptions, usage credits and per-organisation inventory around it.

Who this is for

Your options are rules, not a list

If what can be built depends on what else was chosen, a dropdown-driven tool runs out before your catalog does.

Pricing depends on who is asking

Retail, trade and dealer tiers, volume and regional pricing. Per-seat tools rarely model that logic, and never let you own it.

The tool is the business

If your customers subscribe to the configurator itself, you cannot rent the thing you are selling.

03— Capabilities

What we build

Where a SaaS configurator is the right answer

A fixed catalog with light options and no rules worth modelling. Our Entry tier covers that from $2,500 setup, and if a subscription still fits better, we say so in Diagnose.

Where rules break a template tool

Muebles Torga needed parts that do not physically fit to be impossible to combine. Making impossible orders impossible to place cut customer-service tickets by 72%.

Where the widget stops

A configurator SaaS renders the product and stops there: no checkout, no dealer portal, no link to production, and per-seat fees for logic that lives in someone else's system.

Where the configurator is the product

AV Drop sells the design tool itself: Stripe subscriptions, usage credits, saved designs, reusable templates and per-organisation inventory. That business cannot be rented from a vendor.

Customer-service tickets

Customer-service tickets fell 72% once Torga's configurator stopped customers ordering parts that didn't fit. SBFS added visual compatibility rules to the modular systems, plus a B2B dealer portal with scoped manager impersonation.

Design → client-ready spec

AV Drop's clients go from a custom audio-visual backdrop or stage to a client-ready PDF spec in one click, no CAD required. SBFS built the parametric 3D configurator and the subscription portal around it, including an AI render of the design in a real room.

How an engagement runs

01

Diagnose · about a week, included

We model your catalog and the rules behind it, then write the spec. That week is also where we tell you if a custom build is not what you need.

02

Build · quoted in Diagnose, inside your tier

Configurator, pricing rules, checkout or billing, portal and admin ship in parallel, with a reviewable demo every Friday in your own staging environment.

03

Operate & improve · after launch

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.

06— FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they commit.

When your catalog is a fixed set of products with light options and you need something on screen quickly. Our Entry tier covers that from $2,500 setup, and if a subscription still fits better, we say so in Diagnose, which is included.

A custom build is priced in ranges, from $2,500 setup for a visual configurator to $50,000 and up for the full channel, plus a monthly fee by tier, and the code and the pricing logic are yours. With a subscription, the pricing logic lives in someone else's system and never becomes yours.

It depends on how much of your product is rules. Muebles Torga blocks combinations that do not physically fit, visually and in real time, and that is the modelling a template tool cannot express.

The source code and the data, with no license or per-seat fee. It runs on Vercel and Neon in the region you choose, on your accounts or on ours while we operate it.

We stay on to operate and improve it: new product lines, rules, prices and integrations, under the monthly fee of your tier. If you would rather run it yourselves, the code and data are yours.
