The Challenge
Building an exceptional experience without a prior foundation

Building a 3D home configurator had several interconnected challenges. There was no product catalog defined digitally or accessible from an inventory system. Also, the product configurator had to calculate square inch material costs which gave Propane the opportunity to lay the foundation for future e-commerce ability. Next, this 3D solution had to make use of their 3D model files which needed reprocessing, which allowed Propane to flex its workflow definition and mapping expertise.

Propane was able to use its R&D capabilities to build a prototype, as there was no turnkey solution for constructing 3D homes while allowing you to change material options that tied to a database for future updating. The solution had to prequalify leads in order to help the sales team make the most of its resources. Lastly, the solution had to be updatable from a material standpoint in the CMS.

The Results
Personalization to increase lead quality
92%

increase in return visits

To make this all possible Propane designed and architected the database from the ground up and facilitated the completion of the entire product catalog and options into the CMS. This allowed the 3D Models to pull dynamic data and calculate material costs on the fly.

The end result is a beautiful experience that aids in discovery, connects sales teams with customer’s personalized preferences, and positions Plant Prefab as design minded and technologically forward.

Propane delivered an exceptional experience for the 3D configurator we integrate into our Marketplace, allowing users to explore our LivingHome designs with finishes, fixtures, appliances and Smart Home technology in an interactive, immersive environment. It’s super cool and really makes the design process more efficient.
