Online Flight Case Configurator Leads to Efficiency Gains for ProFlite

ProFlite designs and produces tailor-made flight cases that can be ordered at Casebuilder.com. Casebuilder.com combines an online store with a configurator and automated workflow. At Casebuilder.com customers can order flight case parts and tailor-made flight cases: from flight cases for drum sets to complete casing solutions for all the automotive tools of a racing team. ProFlite was looking for a business accelerator that could make the assembly of flight cases as simple as possible.

Specifications

• Yielded product: online store Casebuilder.com
• Technologies: ThreeJS, Magento 2, Angular
• Client: ProFlite

The Challenge

The goal of Casebuilder.com is to make it as simple as possible for visitors to order flight case parts and tailor-made flight cases. Designing and ordering flight cases is done by means of a uniform and easy-to-use 3D product configurator. Not only should the configurator be compatible with the internal platform, but also with external platforms and third-party environments.

The result: a unique application and improved efficiency

The 3D product configurator developed by TRIMM allows users to design, adjust, and order tailor-made flight cases. The configurator is found on Casebuilder.com, but can also be used on external platforms.

The configurator was developed in AngularJS. This is one of the most widely-used JavaScript frameworks for creating mobile and desktop web-applications. Also, Casebuilder.com is embedded in Magento 2, allowing the application of e-commerce.

A unique feature is that the application works seamlessly with the production systems of ProFlite, ensuring that customers have their flight case delivered at home within five workdays. This is a direct improvement of the customer journey and an efficiency gain for ProFlite. Once ordered the product is assembled immediately.
