A national manufacturing company, reached out to Sketch Development Services with a distinct challenge. They wanted to streamline their sales process, reducing the burden on their lean sales team. But more than that, they envisioned a tool that would enable their customers to design custom railing systems, providing an unprecedented level of selfservice to their industry.
Without an in-house software development team, this manufacturer required a reliable partner to bring their ambitious vision to life. They needed an advanced yet userfriendly drawing tool - one with features often found only in complex CAD applications. The goal was not just to automate their sales process but to revolutionize the way their customers interacted with their products and services.
The two-person team at Sketch Development Services accepted the challenge, setting out to develop a cutting-edge solution. Employing SvelteKit for front-end development and integrating Google’s suite of Cloud offerings, the team built a web application that went beyond the conventional. In just two iterations, they delivered an advanced drawing tool that lets customers design railing systems directly onto Google Maps or on building blueprints.
Despite the complexity typically associated with such features, the team ensured it was developed with a simple user interface that all users could navigate with ease. In addition, the solution was able to generate material cost calculations, as well as shipping estimates for the end products.
The final solution surpassed all expectations. It reduced the quoting process from hours to mere minutes
This project also introduced the client to new methods that helped them release new features to customers iteratively. The manufacturer had a working MVP that satisfied their core need in half the time projected.
This fast pace also enabled the client to reach the stretch goal of a custom drawing capability for new construction quotes. The custom drawing features were not initially believed to be achievable in the short five-iteration effort. The product delivered will allow the client’s internal team to self-manage the content and database of a massively salable web application.
