Your customers configure their own vehicle — inside and out — before anyone opens a drawing. You get a specification you can quote from, and the revisions stop.

The problem
A vehicle is the most configurable thing you sell. Two customers asking for “a coffee truck” want different bodies, different equipment and different power. Until somebody draws it, no one in the conversation is sure what was agreed — so it gets drawn again.
One inquiry, today
Five of those eleven steps are the same step. That is where the designer’s week goes.
The solution
The same inquiry
The designer is not in this list until there is a deposit behind it.
Configured to your shop
The catalogue is yours. Bodies you stock, materials you work in, wrap films and colours from the suppliers you already buy from, equipment you are willing to fit. If you do not build in timber, timber is not on the menu.
That is the difference between a configurator and a wish list. A customer never designs something you have to walk back — which would cost you the revision cycle this was meant to remove.

This is one of our own vehicles. These are our components and our numbers, shown to illustrate the output. Your report is generated against your bodies, your suppliers and your engineering specifications — not ours.
What your sales team sees
Who is still choosing a body, who has a layout, who is one question from a deposit.
The build they have opened four times, and the question they have not asked you yet.
Which categories are being configured this month, and which components come up often enough to negotiate on.
Where we have been
We build these, which is why we know where the hours go. Every unit below is one we designed and put on the road.
Photography pending
Real builds, in real locations, go here. Drop them in public/gallery/ and list them in src/lib/landing-gallery.ts.
If you build anything your customers can park somewhere and sell out of, we can put a configurator in front of it.
