FAQ
- What makes the best pergola configurator software in 2026?
- Five things matter: real-time 3D with engineering constraints (not just a viewer), automatic pricing tied to each option, branded PDF quotes with e-signature, AR preview on the customer's patio, and an embedded CRM. Tools that miss any of these turn into another silo that installers have to copy data out of.
- How is Configurix different from generic 3D pergola design tools?
- Generic 3D tools let anyone draw a pergola. Configurix is purpose-built for installers and dealers — engineering rules, parametric pricing, branded quoting, AR, white-label and CRM are all part of the same product. You don't bolt anything on.
- Is there a free pergola configurator?
- Configurix offers a free trial of the full platform. Free generic tools exist but are aimed at hobby designers — they don't price, quote, capture leads or sync to a CRM, so they don't scale a pergola business.
- Which industries does Configurix serve?
- Pergola, veranda, awning and AC installers and dealers across Europe and North America — from solo installers to multi-rep dealers and OEM manufacturers offering it as their dealer portal.
