Carport Configurator: Say Goodbye to Paper Documentation in Sales

WATCH LIVE NOW THE FACTS
Modular garden room

THE COMPANY

For over 30 years, weka Holzbau GmbH has been developing and manufacturing high-quality wood products for gardens and wellness — from garden sheds, carports, and gazebos to saunas, pools, and infrared cabins. The durable “Made in Germany” DIY kits are sold through home improvement chains, specialty lumber stores, garden centers, and the company’s own online store.

The CPQ Solution

Until now, the sales department has primarily relied on physical documents — which contained extensive information on which variants and configurations are generally possible. However, with a modular product featuring 138 combinable individual items per module and up to 10 modules, it quickly became difficult to keep track of which combinations were actually feasible. The goal was a solution that automatically maps this complexity and reliably guides the sales team through the configuration process.

1. Configurator

  • From data sheets to configurators – printed documentation is giving way to interactive online configuration.
  • Modularity presented in a structured way – 138 individual items per module, clearly organized rather than listed in a long list.
  • Base and add-on modules are automatically recognized - the configurator continuously checks in the background, with every change, which components are base and which are add-ons, as this directly affects the bill of materials.
  • True-to-scale 3D visualization - each configuration is displayed dynamically and in real time.
[Translate to English:] 3D-Carport-Konfigurator mit Modulauswahl und Shop-Integration.

HIGHLIGHTS

Bill of Materials at the Push of a Button

The bill of materials is generated automatically — no need to gather items manually, and no errors from manual assignment.

Basic & Expansion Module Logic

The carport serves as the base. If it is expanded, not all components of the base are reused, depending on the items required. With each additional module, the configurator re-evaluates which components still belong to the base module and which are needed as add-on modules.

Combinational Logic

Not all modules can be connected in any way — dependencies between modules are checked automatically.

Positioning Logic

Elements are placed according to rules — such as the arrangement of walls between the posts.

Dynamic 3D Models

Instead of maintaining a separate 3D model for each variant, the configurator uses a common base model that automatically adapts to the selected variant during the configuration process.

White Labeling for Retailers

The configurator can be customized to match the look and feel of each retailer.

Shopware 6 Integration

A plugin transfers the configuration data directly into the order.

Two target audiences, one tool

A configurator for end customers on the website and for internal sales.

Multilingualism

The configurator is available in two languages and can therefore be used beyond national borders.

2. Pricing Management

  • Real-time price calculation - any change in the configuration immediately affects the total price.
  • Price based on the bill of materials - calculated precisely based on the items actually needed.

3. Quotation Management

  • Integrated lead generation – Customers can have their configuration sent to them via email; the company receives the email address.
  • Get in touch directly – Clicking “Request a Quote” seamlessly takes you to the sales process.
  • Seamlessly added to the shopping cart – Clearly displayed as a single item, fully automated in the background.
  • The entire configuration is added to the shopping cart as a single, clearly organized item. Only this one item is visible — the individual components it contains are processed in the background.

HIGHLIGHTS

Send the configuration via email

Customers send their completed configuration to themselves — which generates a qualified lead for the company.

Request a Quote

With just one click, you can contact the sales department.

One item in the shopping cart

The entire configuration is added to the shopping cart as a single, clearly organized item. An additional, invisible item is also added in the background — this ensures that the inventory level is accurate when the order is confirmed.

Ready for the retailer rollout

In the future, a quote can be generated from the dynamic bill of materials with the click of a button — as a planned second phase following the integration of the configurator and the online store.

THE SOLUTION

Countless combinations. One click.

In the past, it was precisely this enormous modularity that made selling complicated: Anyone who wanted to advise customers had to know what could be combined and how.

Today, the configurator handles this: Modules are automatically checked and configured correctly. Through the Shopware 6 integration, the configuration is transferred directly to the shopping cart and order — for end customers as well as for internal sales.

“Error-free configuration, prices at the click of a button, and real-time quotes - today, our product knowledge is built right into the configurator, rather than just in our employees’ heads or in sales materials.”
