VT Industries will integrate the BuyDesign product configurator and visualization engines into the company's existing web-based quoting and ordering system. That system is used daily by up to 300 concurrent dealer and company sales people across North America.
BuyDesign's rules development studio will make it easier for VT Industries to maintain configuration rules for the company's diverse product lines, while BuyDesign's intuitive user interface will make product configuration faster, easier, and more visual for sales people. BuyDesign's model and drawing generation will help customers visualize their product during the quoting process while also providing annotated drawings for use as a reference within customer service and on the shop floor.

VT Industries selected BuyDesign after evaluating several different product configurators. "We selected the BuyDesign Configurator because of its comprehensive feature set, its flexibility to handle all of our product types, and its robustness in terms of scalability and availability," said Vince Kolb, VT Industries Systems Analyst. "Just as importantly, we selected BuyDesign because its architecture allows us to integrate with our existing systems much easier than other products we evaluated. We also found that the TDCI people who worked with us understood our industry, our business, and our technical environment, and could demonstrate everything we asked to see."
