Fellowes Launches New 3D Modular, Product Configurators

Contract interiors and architectural solutions provider Fellowes recently announced the launch of new 3D modular and product configurators for several of its product lines, according to a news release. The new products offer SIF file integration and pricing for the Volo, Markerboards, Sena, and Rising product lines in connection with 3D Cloud, which provides 3D product visualization and 3D digital asset management.

The ultimate goal is to provide end users—independent sales representatives and dealers—with cutting-edge products to edge out competition in the office furniture market, the news release reports. The new configurators provide customers, designers, and dealers with a visual, fully integrated way to configure and order customized solutions across four of Fellowes’ largest product families.

“Launching 3D configurators for our most complex product lines is a mission-critical part of helping our dealers create great experiences for their clients through fast, easy, and accurate 3D visualization tools,” said Todd Holderness, General Manager, Contract Interiors at Fellowes. “3D Cloud has been an outstanding partner in helping us to bring 3D product configuration experiences to our dealer community with speed and accuracy.”

Fellowes and 3D Cloud partnered closely to create products that meet internal operational needs and provide as seamless a user experience as possible. Volo’s configurator lets users start with standard, prebuilt layouts and then personalize features like walls, components, trims, and finishes. List pricing updates through API integration in real time, and the system can export accurate and ready-to-produce SIF files, the news release reports.

“We wanted a tool that dealers could use quickly to specify products visually—without needing training, seat licenses, or downloads,” said Holderness. “3D Cloud makes specifying products visual, fast, and easy—and it's fully integrated with marketing and order SIF files. We want to see our dealers succeed by having access to all of the possible configurations and being able to share iterations and fully customize products with clients quickly to help them come to decisions and close deals faster.”

The configurators are available on the Fellowes website.
