City Post sells cable railing systems designed for self-installation. Without a way for customers to design and order online, every sale ran through a manual process that couldn't scale.

Their Railing Designer solution now lives on their website. Customers design their own systems in 2D and 3D, purchase through Shopify, and a complete, packaged kit routes automatically to the warehouse. No rep required.

Hollaender launched a new product line and needed design and estimation tooling built around it quickly.

Their Railing Designer solution was live in under two weeks. Designs automatically produce the details for complete kits ready for delivery and installation. With their engineering rules built in, configuration errors can't happen at the design stage. That initial product line became the foundation for expanding further.

Glass railing design demands precision. The calculations behind every design were slowing down their quotes and creating room for errors.

Falcon's Railing Designer has their engineering rules built in. Their team can now design over imported floor plans to scale with cost estimates, BOMs, 2D/3D visualization, and glass panel dimensions calculated accurately in real time.

Every design routed through a draftsperson before a quote could leave the building. RoleModel encoded Kattsafe's KOMBI system constraints into a browser-based configurator. Quoting dropped from 4-plus hours to 30 minutes. The tool later extended to their distributor network.

Manual takeoffs averaged 6-8 hours. RoleModel built a takeoff tool on the LightningCAD framework. Users report 50-75% time savings. LandOne was acquired by Aspire in 2021, largely for the software asset.

Surgical guide design required technicians who understood both surgical constraints and CAD tools. RoleModel embedded those constraints into the software, so the expertise was in the system rather than in each individual. Design time dropped from 3-6 hours to 1-3. The product line became commercially viable.
