Quote calculators
Turn customer choices into a structured quote. The Castia worktop calculator is a real example of this work.
Build
Build the tool you keep wishing you had
We build custom tools for business owners and founders, and help you understand how they work.
Start with what someone needs to do
A calculator that understands your quote. A configurator that follows your product rules. An application built around the way the work gets done.
The useful question is what they need to achieve, and what gets in their way now. That shapes the tool.
- A customer choosing a product.
- An owner preparing a quote.
- A person keeping track of enquiries.
Different jobs need different tools
Configurators
Bring product options and rules into the same tool. The glass configurator handles details such as hinge cut-outs, clearances and seal deductions.
Business applications
Build around a workflow that needs more than another spreadsheet or disconnected form: customer records, enquiries or a portal.
Look at the working product
For frameless-showers.co.uk, the work includes the website, instant-quote calculator and shower designer. Glass Tailors fulfils the orders.
For Castia Marble, the calculator turns worktop choices into a quote.
Understand what you are building
Bring the idea, the existing process or the awkward workaround. We can talk through what the tool needs to do, then show you how the result works and how to approach the next change.
Questions before you start
- Do I need a finished technical specification?
- Start with what someone needs to do and how it happens today. A technical specification is not a prerequisite for the first conversation.
- Can we improve something I already have?
- We will need to inspect it first. The useful answer depends on the application, access and what you want to change.
- How much will it cost?
- Work is scoped to the problem. Book a conversation so we can understand what needs building.
