With the great creative and design ideas combined with the profound technical expertise of the people at Pinetco, we were able to successfully implement this very complex and extensive project and go online with the configurator. The result is fantastic and we are overjoyed in every respect.

CONTORA OFFICE SOLUTIONS

Our goal

Nowadays it is possible to plan a kitchen online, configure a dream car or assemble a PC with all the individual parts and buy it directly. So why not a virtual office?

 

Helmut Arend, CEO of CONTORA AG, asked himself this question. The answer: because no one has ever made it possible before. But that has now changed.

 

The advantages quickly became apparent. Potential customers not only have more flexibility and freedom of design. An online configurator for virtual offices could digitally map the entire sales process. Complete automation would mean that the effort for sales would be close to zero - and the potential for scaling would increase massively.

THE CONFIGURATOR

The solution

The configurator that we designed and programmed was initially a test balloon. Although CONTORA Office Solutions offers a very wide range of products, the first draft of the configurator only included a fixed package for one virtual office per location and no further customization options. (We're experimenting here, you remember).

 

We built on this over several months - always in close coordination with CONTORA Office Solutions. In the beginning, the contracts were created by the sales team itself and contacts via the configurator were initially "just" leads. Only when we had developed a legally compliant digital solution did we also automate this process step in order to reduce the workload on employees. And leads became automatically generated customers.

OUR LEARNINGS

Review and insights

At the beginning of the development of the configurator, there was a lack of trust on the part of the users, which was determined by the analysis of user behavior, which we carried out with the help of the Hotjar heatmap.
