Surface heating planning configurator specialist trade
Starting point
A long-established multi-generation company had developed an intelligent control for surface heating systems. Sales ran through the specialist trade, and for every installation, heating zones, control components and electrical wiring had to match one another. It was exactly this design that decided whether a project moved quickly to ordering or got stuck in rounds of coordination.
How can the specialist trade connect heating circuit planning and ordering?
During the project, a digital specialist planner was built that guides specialist partners through the design step by step: heating circuits and zones are recorded, control components assigned and the system variants delineated against one another. From this information, a complete shopping list and an electronic wiring diagram that reflects the specific wiring of the project are generated at the end.
Own products and matching partner components are integrated into the same advisory and ordering process. Multilingual support and preparation for different target markets make the planner usable beyond individual regions. The owner family now develops the tool further itself and concentrates on spreading it as an industry solution.
