Sell the full modular range in your stores and on your webshop

Planner Studio is a 3D configurator for furniture retailers and showroom brands that sell modular, made-to-order ranges. Customers build the sofa or shelving they want from every module, fabric and finish, and see the price as they go. The same configurator runs on your product pages and on a store tablet. Customers add their configuration to the webshop cart, or save it and buy in the store, where your staff open it and continue. Start with one series and add the next when the dashboard shows it is selling. When a supplier changes fabrics or discontinues variants, our team updates the configurator. The platform runs 40+ configurators across 10+ markets.

Problems we hear from furniture retailers with stores

  • Challenge

    Customers only see the combinations you have photographed

    A modular series has more combinations than a store can display or a studio can photograph. The floor shows one or two set-ups with a stack of fabric samples, and the webshop sells the variants that already have images. For any other combination the customer has to find a salesperson, and customers who want to explore on their own often leave before they ask.

    Solution

    Every module, fabric and finish is shown in 3D

    The configurator shows the full series with its real configuration rules, so customers can build any valid combination and see it from every angle, with dimensions and price. In the store, staff use the same configurator on a tablet or screen next to the display model.

  • Challenge

    Sales staff build the order by hand

    In many stores a sofa is still put together from a price list and fabric samples, then typed into the sales system line by line. A missing colour number sends the order back from the supplier, and production waits. Training new staff to quote the full range takes time.

    Solution

    Only valid configurations can be built

    The configurator follows the rules for modules, fabrics and finishes, so every configuration is one that can be produced. Each one carries its modules, fabric, dimensions and price in a readable summary, as a PDF for the customer and as structured data your order system can collect through the Planner API.

  • Challenge

    The salesperson starts again when the customer comes into the store

    Customers research a modular sofa online and come to the store to sit on it, feel the fabric and ask about delivery. When the store cannot see what they built at home, the salesperson starts again from the beginning. A customer who leaves the store to measure the living room has to remember what was on the screen.

    Solution

    One saved configuration follows the customer

    Every configuration can be saved as a link, sent by email or downloaded as a PDF. Staff open the customer's saved configuration in the store and continue from there, and a configuration started in the store can be finished at home on any device.

Features that connect your stores and your webshop

All five are standard on the platform.

In-Store Configuration Access

Store staff open any configuration a customer saved at home and continue from it on a tablet or screen, and customers take a configuration started in the store home with them. The salesperson sees what the customer chose before the conversation starts.

Save and share a configuration

Save & Share

Every configuration is saved on its own link. Customers email it to themselves or share it with someone at home, and staff can find every saved configuration in the admin dashboard.

Branded PDF with images, dimensions and parts list

One tap in the browser places the configured sofa at full scale in the customer's living room. It shows whether the corner module fits the wall before the customer visits the store.

Questions from furniture retailers

We sell other brands' series. Can you build a configurator on them?
Yes, once the manufacturer has accepted it in writing. Many manufacturers already have 3D files of their modular series, and we build from those when they are usable. If the files are missing, we model the products from photos and drawings, and that work is quoted per product before it begins.
Where should we start?
With one series, ideally the modular sofa or storage system that sells best in your stores today. The first investment stays small, and the dashboard shows configurations, orders and revenue from the configurator, so you can judge the series before you add the next one.
How do our store staff use it?
They use the same configurator as your customers, on a tablet or a screen in the store. A customer who saved a configuration at home shows the link, and the salesperson opens it and continues. Configurations built in the store can be sent to the customer to finish at home.
What happens when the supplier changes modules, prices or fabrics?
You send us the change and we update the configurator. Prices set in Shopify update automatically. Discontinued variants are removed by our team, typically within one to two business days, and new modules get a fixed price for the 3D work before we start.
How long does it take to launch?
Typically eight to twelve weeks from kickoff to live, depending on the size of the series and the state of the 3D files. A series with usable 3D files moves faster.
Does the configurator replace our sales system?
It sits in front of it. The configurator handles the visual part of the sale and hands a validated configuration to the systems you run today: the webshop cart, a PDF for the quote, or your ERP through the Planner API.
