Our 3D sales configurator is the only configurator software purpose-built for the tiny home industry. Because of this, it's a straightforward, affordable, and customizable solution for any business in the small home industry, like tiny homes on wheels, container homes, and ADUs. Anyone in this industry looking to streamline their design, sales, and marketing process and make it more interactive for their customers is sure to make the most of one. Our configurator's many benefits will give your business an edge, help you stand out in the industry, and, most importantly, grow your business.

Our configurator lets your customer choose from your options, layouts, materials, and upgrades. This is perfect for the intricacies of tiny homes, as every detail needs to be planned out well to make the best use of limited space and create the ideal tiny home for your customer.

This solution is perfect for the tiny home industry, as it was made specifically for selling tiny homes. While other configurators work for more general eCommerce purposes, like customizable furniture, clothing, tech, or even cars, our 3D configuration process is very particular. This makes the user experience more engaging and tailor-fit to your specific customers. We've included features like waypoints that allow you to explore the home in real time, as if you were there inside it (think Google Maps' exploration feature), that not all 3D product configurators have. Your customers will configure their tiny home and see it change in real time as they explore it in 3D.

Why the Tiny Easy 3D Sales Configurator?

While a 3D sales configurator may sound confusing and overwhelming (we hear you, what does configurator even mean, anyway?), ours is very easy to use for you and your clients. We've made sure of that!

Your customers will appreciate this ease of use, as not all of us are great at technology, figuring out software, etc. They will more likely have basic tech skills, like browsing a website.

A customized product like a tiny home also needs a ton of attention to detail—and we don't skimp. Customizable products, in general, usually require a ton of options as is, and it can get complicated with every choice you have to make.

Rather than picking through a tricky brochure of inclusions and options, our configurator is straightforward and simple. It removes the guesswork and back-and-forth between you and your customer. It makes everything quick and easy! Its focus on tiny homes allows your customers to see how the buying, building, and quoting process will look from start to end, all on one page, making for a better customer experience (and it'll be much easier on you and your sales team).

Introducing… The Tiny Easy 3D Product Configurator!

We're very proud of our configurator and the team behind it, so we'd love for you to get to know it better!

Our configurator is separated into these parts, though we can customize this further for you if you need it:

• Model – If your business offers different tiny home models, we display them here as the first step so your customers can choose which one of your tiny home offerings they can use as their canvas.

• Exterior – Your customers can choose from materials and layouts that you offer so they can personalize the exterior of their homes. This ranges from adding, or taking away windows to choosing the exterior materials, styling, and more.

• Interior – With the interior, you can also choose layouts and materials. Do you want kitchen 1 or 2? Do you want an extra loft? What flooring or wall finish? Or additional features like reading nooks, bench seats, etc. It depends on what you offer and how customizable your tiny homes are.

• Upgrade – Other features or options that aren't directly applicable to a 3D model, such as express delivery, add-ons like water tanks or solar kits, etc.

We've optimized the interface of our configurator to be sleek, simple, and eye-catching. Our configurator guides your customer to choose one thing at a time, which makes it more straightforward and less overwhelming compared to other configurators. Other configurators often display a wide range of options simultaneously with tricky dropdown menus, making it difficult for your customers to figure out where to even start.

Having to make just one choice at a time makes it simpler and easier for your customers. They can see the gradual changes they're making in the 3D model of the home and still zoom out and see the full picture. Product configuration can get very complex very fast (especially for complex products), so this simplicity in terms of user interface and reduced mental load on your customers' end will make it easier, more engaging, and more straightforward for them. The buying experience is quick, easy, and stress-free.

With a more straightforward process like this, new clients are just around the corner.

How We Work with Businesses to Give Them Their Dream Configurator

We do the hard work for you.

We've been in the tiny home industry for over seven years and have worked together with hundreds of businesses, which has given us a unique insight into what works and what doesn't. We'll advise you on what you might want to do for your configurator and how to best present your options. We don't just build a configurator; we also work with you to get what you want and give you helpful tips on what we believe you can further capitalize on.

What we do is broken up into two separate but equally important parts:

We Build a Configurator Plan For You

We will take time to create a detailed outline, the Configurator Plan for your entire product offering, walking you through each configuration step on paper before we build it. It will include your models, options, and finishes to use as a conversation starter to easily discuss & plan out your Configurator. After all, we want you to know exactly what we'll be creating for you!

We Build a Marketing and Website Implementation Plan For You

We will analyze your current website and understand how you can seamlessly integrate your configurator to allow for maximum engagement and conversions as potential customers visit your website. We will also provide additional tactics for in-person sales and marketing events where you can leverage your configurator.

Not only that, but we also host the actual configurator, hold regular success meetings to improve it throughout its run on your site, and reinvest in the development of the software with better upgrades and features that will help you sell more and improve your sales cycle. It's not a one-time thing. We're invested in your business's success and want you and your customers to enjoy the configurator and what it can do for you both so you can stay on top of trends or upgrades that may give your business an edge.

How Our Configurator Works and How Your Customers Will Benefit

Our 3D sales configurator has a lot of great features; here are just a few of them:

3D Visualizations

With our configurator, you can discover an interactive 3D model, turn it around, and even look at different areas of the tiny home. Your potential customers can enjoy this interactive tool and get the best understanding of what their tiny home will look like. It's much easier to deal with compared to static product images or even complex blueprints.

Configurable products set in virtual reality are much better representations of the end product. This increases customer confidence and satisfaction as they can view the home from every angle.

As your customer moves from one step to the next, our configurator will also move with them to give them the best angle to see the changes they're about to make. For example, when moving on to the loft option, we move the camera to give them a slightly higher view to see the loft immediately—just so there's no confusion on your customer's end. It's intuitive, as not everyone will know exactly where to move the model just to see the loft. We do it for you.

This gives your customers (and potential customers) a more fully fleshed-out idea of the end product, easing their worries about what they're getting. This is especially important since homes are such a significant purchase and not something they can just buy again if they don't like it (at least, most people can't).

Waypoints

Using waypoints to get an even closer view or more detailed view will help customers immerse themselves in their own design. They'll be able to almost transport themselves inside the tiny house to see what it will look like to scale and as close to the real thing as possible. It's incredibly helpful for even the most meticulous of your customers.

Our waypoint system is based on popular real estate tour software, which guides users through the house, almost like they're walking through it. Your customers can jump from point to point in the tiny home model, which can make customer journeys more interactive.

This encourages even more interaction between your customer and your configurator, which may be exciting or satisfying for them and makes the online shopping experience more engaging and memorable.

Options to Choose From Depending on Your Offerings

Choosing different options, finishes, colors, etc., will give customers the power to customize. Of course, this depends on the kinds of options your business offers. We meticulously recreate your models & materials to accurately represent how they look “in real life”. 

People want to live in a space that truly feels like their own rather than something borrowed that they feel they have to settle in or change later. If they can get it right the first time, they will, and they should feel they can do that. Giving your customers that option empowers them as buyers and can boost their excitement about finishing their design and building the home.

For example, our customer Nordic and Spruce loved that we were able to accurately represent their roofing material textures and colors so that they looked just like the real thing. We want to get as close as possible to what you offer, so we can provide a virtual sample board to your customers.

Predetermined Layouts and Features

An effective product configurator efficiently presents your predetermined layouts, which we strive to do. No tiny home-building business will have the same layout, so we recreate the flagship models that your business is known for.

Your customers can choose the layout and features they want—whether it's a loft, a specific kitchen design, or even storage options that are unique to your business. Depending on the kinds of layouts you have, we can create them in our configurator so your customer can also choose from them to further personalize the home.

Whether it's a bathroom or no bathroom, divider walls, extra storage cupboards, or anything else, we can and will provide the option.

Finer Details Like Hardware and Cabinetry

The finer details are also paid attention to—from cabinetry to hardware, and even more if you'd like. It depends on your offerings, and our team will make them all simple and easy so your customers can get into the smallest of details.

We don't just stop at an outer shell and the interior wallpaper--we pay attention to even the smallest details that some people take for granted. Many don't even pay attention to hardware or even what their cabinets will look like, which can cause a mismatch in the home and the customer's aesthetic preferences. However, we do, and we know a lot of your customers may also want that opportunity to choose to make the house feel truly theirs.

For our customer Nordic and Spruce, for example, we were able to recreate their unique leather handles so that their customers could see the option.

Our smart cabinetry system can display millions of versions of cabinets, making it easy for us to recreate designs with our internal tools. This is way more efficient than 3D modeling from scratch, which is complicated, difficult, and ultimately costly for our clients. Because of this, we can also update and add new designs more easily without refurbishing the entire process, making the process quicker and keeping you on-trend.

Upgrade Options

Upgrade options are additions that increase the overall order value, like express delivery, and add-ons, like blinds or flyscreens, water tanks, or solar kits.

How Are Product Configurators Changing the Tiny Home Industry?

Here are some ways 3D product configurators are changing the tiny home industry:

Giving Businesses a One-Stop-Shop Type of Solution

Customers no longer have to get in touch with a business, rely on photos (that they may also think are outdated or inaccurate), or wait for days to get answers.

They can customize immediately with an eye-catching configurator right on your page, get a quote as soon as they finish, and send over the design to you right away so you can already start working on their dream home--which quickens the process for everyone, win-win!

Providing an Interactive, True-to-Life Experience

Having a configurator that shows them the closest approximation to your customers' dream home eases consumer anxiety about what they're investing a lot of their money in.

Homes are extremely personal and are often pivotal purchases—these are where your customers will live and spend most of their time. They are a big-time purchase in anyone's life, no matter what stage of life they're in. It's a big decision, and they want to be sure and find something that aligns with them and their preferences.

A configurator is so interactive and allows you to view, customize, and personalize so much that your customers won't need to worry about having to settle for less than what they're dreaming of. How can they have a mediocre home, layout, and design if they make those decisions themselves? They'll be happy and you'll be providing them with that joy.

It also opens them up to different possibilities, layouts, colors, textiles, etc., that they may not have considered at first but might actually work with what they're looking for. Again, another win!

Quickening the Sales Process and Delivering Dream Homes Quicker

A configurator speeds everything up, which puts the keys in a customer's hands faster. This is because it's all in one place on your page—from design to quote to submitting the build. It's quick, uncomplicated, and easy.

There's no need for physical showrooms or having to commute to look at a constructed approximation, etc. It's all there on your customer's screen.

Sales and Consumer Trust Go Up 

Because you've got such a close approximation to what the tiny home will look like, you secure customer trust and confidence, leading to increased sales and conversions. These positive experiences only serve to benefit you, and more potential customers will be interested in what your business may offer because of positive reviews or word of mouth.

Overall Business Growth and Standing Out Amidst Competition

With this professional experience, you will stand out as one of the businesses at the forefront of the tiny home industry, which will give you increased conversion rates, loyal customers, and sales. People are more likely to turn to you to make their dream homes come true.

With our 3D product configurator, you can stand out and really capture the essence of any dream home. Our team would love to hear your ideas, figure out how we can represent what you offer, and help you make your clients' tiny home dreams come to life.
