Who Needs a Product Builder?
Many different companies can benefit from a product builder for their website. Companies who can benefit most are those who have;
- Products with multiple variations/options.
These are products that come in various colors or sizes.
- Configurable products.
Configurable products exhibit varying degrees of business logic, for example a watch with various wristband options.
- Modular products
Modular products exhibit even higher business logic and are usually Assembled-to-Order (ATO).
- Bespoke products
Bespoke products are those that are completely manufactured after an order is made and are made to order specifications. Boats, trailers, RV’s, kitchens, modular homes, condos, and other large products can benefit from the product builder where customizing of a base unit to get exactly what you want is a common practice.
The Suncatcher Pontoon Product Builder
Suncatcher’s pontoons are perhaps the best demonstration of what you can achieve with Digital Hill’s product builder.
Suncatcher sells pontoon boats and has many large competitors. However, by offering customization options, Suncatcher already stands out. Unlike other pontoon sellers, Suncatcher allows you to build the boat you want and personalize it to fit your lifestyle, right on the website.
Of course, there are standard features, including navigation lights, trolling motors, and nose cones. But, beyond that, customers get the chance to customize pretty much every aspect of their chosen boat. Some of the features the customer can adjust/change include;
- Size
- Exterior elements
- Interior elements
- Furniture & accessories
- Performance options
If you’re interested in the 2020 V 18F pontoon, for instance, there are 12 engine types to choose from. To select an engine type, all the customer needs to do is check a box next to their chosen engine type.
The cost of all upgrades and changes are clearly shown next to the option, and the final price of the boat with customizations is prominently displayed.
The product builder allows customers to choose everything, from the exterior paint and fences to the interior furniture and flooring. Additionally customers are able to do all of this without having to contact and request a quote.
Every time the customer adds or changes an element or feature of the boat, the product image automatically adjusts to reflect the change. Once all the desired changes have been made, the customer can click on the “View Summary” section to view all the additions/changes and the final price.
