For manufacturers
Custom white-label configurator software for pergola manufacturers
Configurix builds custom, white-labeled 3D configurator and CPQ platforms for factories that sell complex, configurable products — pergolas, verandas, awnings, AC enclosures, sunrooms and screens. Real-time configuration, rule-based pricing, automatic bill of materials, branded quotes and a dealer portal carrying your brand, not ours.
What is pergola manufacturer software?
Pergola manufacturer software is a digital platform that lets a factory model its full product catalog — every size, motor, sensor, glazing system, blade orientation, fabric and RAL finish — and expose it as a real-time 3D configurator with instant pricing and an automatic bill of materials. The same configuration drives the customer quote, the dealer order and the production cut list, so the factory sells, prices and builds from a single source of truth instead of spreadsheets and email.
What problems does it solve for factories?
Quoting takes days, not minutes
Dealers email the factory for prices, wait, follow up, lose the customer. A configurator with the factory's price book quotes in seconds.
Margin leakage from spreadsheet errors
Manual pricing in Excel is the largest source of margin loss in custom manufacturing. A rule-based engine prices every configuration the same way every time.
Production receives incomplete BOMs
Hand-typed BOMs miss hardware, motors or fabric. Configuration-driven BOMs are complete by construction and traceable to the order.
Dealer network sells inconsistently
Without a shared tool, every dealer quotes, brands and pitches differently. A white-label portal standardises the sales motion across the network.
Lead times slip because engineering re-draws every order
When the configuration is the source of truth, drawings and cut lists are generated, not drawn. Engineering reviews instead of redrawing.
What's included in a Configurix manufacturer build
Real-time 3D configuration
Every SKU in your catalog — sizes, motors, sensors, glazing, blades, fabrics, RAL finishes — configurable live in the browser, no plugins, on desktop and mobile.
Rule-based pricing engine
Centralised price book with cost, list, dealer tiers, regional multipliers, taxes, multi-currency and volume discounts. Change a price once, every dealer sees it.
Automatic bill of materials
Each configuration generates a complete BOM — profiles, hardware, motors, sensors, fabric square-metres, packaging — exportable to CSV, XLSX or pushed to your ERP.
Production-ready output
Cut lists, drilling positions, assembly drawings and CNC-ready files generated from the same configuration the customer signed.
Branded PDF quotes
One-click branded quotes with renders, dimensioned drawings, itemised pricing, payment terms and offer validity — your logo, your colours, your terms.
White-label dealer portal
Your installer network logs into a portal that carries your brand, not ours. Regional pricing, lead routing, deposit collection and order tracking included.
CRM and pipeline
Every configuration becomes a deal: contact, status, follow-ups, deposits, e-sign and won/lost reporting — for the factory and for each dealer.
Integrations
Native ERP connectors (SAP, Odoo, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics), accounting, e-sign, Zapier and a documented REST API with webhooks.
How the bill of materials works
Every option in the catalog is tagged with the components it consumes — profile lengths, brackets, fasteners, motors, sensors, fabric square-metres, glazing panels, packaging. When a customer or dealer saves a configuration, the engine walks the rules and produces a complete, deterministic BOM: every SKU, every quantity, every dependency resolved.
- Deterministic: the same configuration always produces the same BOM — no human transcription.
- Exportable: CSV, XLSX, JSON over webhook, or pushed directly into your ERP.
- Traceable: every BOM line links back to the catalog option that generated it, so engineering can audit any quote.
- Production-ready: cut lists, drilling positions and assembly drawings derived from the same BOM.
How instant pricing works
The pricing engine sits on top of the catalog. Every option carries a cost, a list price and rules for dealer tiers, regional multipliers, taxes, currency and volume discounts. Change a price once and every dealer in the network sees it on the next configuration — no PDF price-list reissues, no out-of-date Excel sheets.
- Dealer tiers — gold / silver / bronze with their own margins
- Regional pricing — per-country multipliers and currency
- Taxes — VAT, GST, sales tax, exemptions
- Discount rules — volume, promo codes, end-of-line
- Surcharges — express delivery, oversize, install zones
- Cost vs list — margin reporting per deal and per dealer
White-label and dealer network
The platform is themed end-to-end with the manufacturer's brand — own domain, logo, colours, typography, PDF templates and customer-facing copy. Dealers log into a portal that looks and feels like the factory built it. End customers configuring on the public website never see Configurix branding either.
Inside the portal each dealer sees their tier pricing, their deals, their pipeline and their commissions. Leads captured on the public configurator route automatically to the nearest dealer by postcode, with fall-back rules when capacity is full.
Integrations
The configurator is the front door; the rest of your stack stays where it is. We ship native connectors for the systems factories actually run, plus a documented REST API and webhooks for anything else.

Implementation process
Phase 1: Discovery
We map your product range, pricing rules, dealer structure and ERP. Output: a signed scope, timeline and catalog model.
Phase 2: Catalog modelling
Your engineers and ours encode every model, option, dependency and BOM rule. Output: a complete digital twin of your product catalog.
Phase 3: Branded build
We theme the platform end-to-end — domain, logo, colours, typography, PDF templates, dealer portal, customer flows. Output: production-ready white-label instance.
Phase 4: Rollout
Dealer training, migration of in-flight quotes, ERP go-live and a 30-day stabilisation window with weekly reviews. Output: full network on the platform.
Typical end-to-end: 14–30 days from kickoff to first dealer live.

Frequently asked questions
- What is pergola manufacturer software?
- Pergola manufacturer software is a digital platform that lets a factory model its full product catalog — every size, motor, sensor, finish and accessory — and expose it as a 3D configurator with instant pricing and automatic bill of materials. It replaces spreadsheets, CAD back-and-forth and email quoting for the factory and its dealer network.
- What is white-label software in this context?
- White-label means the platform carries the manufacturer's brand — domain, logo, colours, PDF templates and dealer portal — with no Configurix branding visible to dealers or end customers. Configurix builds, hosts and maintains the platform; the factory owns the brand experience and its catalog data.
- How is the bill of materials generated?
- Every option in the catalog (profile, hardware, motor, fabric, glazing, sensor) is tagged with components and consumption rules. When a configuration is saved, the engine walks the rules and outputs a complete BOM — quantities, SKUs, fabric square-metres, packaging — ready for CSV, XLSX or direct ERP push.
- How long does an implementation take?
- Typical timeline is 14–30 days from kickoff to first dealer live: a few days for discovery, 1–2 weeks for catalog modelling and branded build, and 1–2 weeks for pilot and rollout. Large catalogs or multiple ERP integrations may extend this slightly.
- Who owns the catalog data and configurator IP?
- The manufacturer owns its catalog, pricing rules, BOM logic, customer data and dealer data. Configurix retains IP only over the underlying platform. Data is exportable at any time in standard formats and survives contract end.
- Can it integrate with our ERP?
- Yes. We ship native connectors for SAP, Odoo, Sage and Microsoft Dynamics, plus a documented REST API and webhooks for any system that can speak HTTPS. Common flows: push orders + BOM to ERP, pull stock and lead time back into the configurator.
- Does this work for products other than pergolas?
- Yes. The platform is built for any complex, configurable, manufactured product — verandas, awnings, AC enclosures, sunrooms, glass rooms, screens, carports. The constraint is product complexity (many options, dependencies, BOM) not category.
- How are dealers and end customers handled?
- Two surfaces from one catalog: a dealer / installer portal with full pricing, margins, CRM and order placement, and an optional public configurator on the manufacturer's website for end-customer lead capture. Leads route automatically to the nearest dealer.
- How is the platform priced?
- A one-time implementation fee for discovery, catalog modelling and branded build, plus a recurring SaaS subscription covering hosting, updates and support. Dealer seats are typically included up to a network size. Exact pricing is scoped on the discovery call.
- Can we migrate our existing catalog and quotes?
- Yes. We import catalogs from spreadsheets, ERP exports and legacy CPQ systems during the discovery phase. In-flight quotes are migrated during the rollout window so dealers don't lose deals in progress.
