Configurator
Along the way, I contributed to the UX, UI, and development of the configurator and brought it from an MVP to a marketable product.
I was brought on to the Dwellito team as a contractor to manage the configurator product and create seamless end-to-end customer service for buying a modular home. Along the way, I contributed to the UX, UI, and development of the configurator and brought it from an MVP to a marketable product.
We created an end-to-end eCommerce service for modular homes which allows customers to modify, explore, and buy their modular homes with an image-based, 3D, and AR configurator.
Problem:
The traditional way of selling a customized modular home involves a sales team member sitting down with a client and explaining customization options, which costs the builders money if the customer doesn't end up buying a home.
Solution:
With Dwellito's new configurator, customers personalize products to their precise demands without interventions from the sales team, thereby placing the decision in their hands. In this case, they will get exactly what they want in the end by engaging themselves in the design process

With Dwellito's new configurator, customers personalize products to their precise demands without interventions from the sales team, thereby placing the decision in their hands. In this case, they will get exactly what they want in the end by engaging themselves in the design process.
It also allows clients to monitor the costs. Customers can control what they pay for the product as they customize it since different available options will reflect differently on the price of the product and they are able to see the change time as every choice is made.
The MVP really was the prototype for this project. We were working on a shoestring budget and working with various no-code solutions, which made our process extremely agile. Caleb, the founder designed and implemented the original setup, and we worked through the Webflow CMS to fill in the required information.
We tasked our engineers with optimizing a solution that will use Webflow CMS data and push it to Vectary, which will turn a 3D model of the project into a real-time 3D configurator. All of this was done with minimal code.
We used Airtable as our online database that held thousands of records of available model upgrades and material changes for each modular home.
