Configure Contract Furniture Down to the Last Yard of Fabric
A furniture configurator lets your dealers and specifiers build seating, casegoods, and tables to spec, choosing frame, dimensions, wood or laminate finish, and upholstery grade, while the rules engine enforces COM yardage, valid finish combinations, and lead times so every quote is correct before it leaves the showroom.
Every Option a Furniture Buyer Specifies
Built for the real complexity of contract and commercial furniture
Upholstery & Fabrics
Grade-based textile pricing, COM and COL capture, leather hide selection, railroading direction, contrast welts, and contrast stitching, all validated against required yardage per model.
Wood & Laminate Finishes
Stain and paint colors, wood species, high-pressure laminate, edge profiles, and metal leg finishes, with rules that block finish combinations your shop cannot produce.
Dimensions & Sizing
Configurable seat height, depth, width, arm height, and table tops to spec, with min/max constraints that keep ergonomics and structural limits intact.
Modular & Sectional Seating
Snap together armless units, corners, wedges, and ottomans while the engine verifies connectors, arm orientation, and overall footprint.
Frame & Construction
Frame grade, cushion fill and density, suspension type, casters or glides, and reinforcement options for high-traffic contract environments.
Compliance Options
Flag CAL 117 and TB 133 requirements, ANSI/BIFMA durability tiers, and GREENGUARD finishes so specs match the project's certification needs.
Why Furniture Manufacturers Use a Configurator
Stop losing margin to fabric errors and slow dealer quotes
No More COM Surprises
Yardage is calculated automatically by model and grade, so you stop eating the cost of under-quoted Customer's Own Material orders.
Dealer Self-Service
Reps and specifiers configure and price in the showroom instead of emailing your customer service team for every fabric question.
Shop-Ready BOMs
Every order generates a clean bill of materials and cut sheet, eliminating the back-and-forth between sales and the upholstery floor.

Frequently asked questions
A furniture configurator is software that lets dealers and customers build a piece to spec by selecting frame style, dimensions, wood or laminate finish, and upholstery fabric or leather grade. It enforces COM and COL yardage rules, flags invalid finish-on-frame combinations, and returns an accurate price and lead time without involving customer service.
Yes. The configurator calculates yardage by model and applies your grade-based price uplifts automatically. For Customer's Own Material and Customer's Own Leather, it captures supplier, pattern, and railroading direction, then validates required yardage against the selected frame so quotes reflect real upholstery consumption and finishing labor.
It does. Build sectionals from armless chairs, corners, wedges, and ottomans while the rules engine verifies that connectors, arm orientations, and overall dimensions are valid. Each module carries its own finish and fabric, and the system rolls modules into a single bill of materials, layout drawing, and consolidated price.
