An HVAC configurator should turn approved equipment choices and verified project inputs into a quotation your team can explain. A useful software brief distinguishes the customer's visual preferences, catalogue compatibility rules and the technical checks that a qualified person must complete.
Configurix develops configurable-product software and sales workflows around the equipment range you supply. For air conditioning, agree which systems, accessories, price rules and quotation outputs belong in the first release. The product model and the information required for an installation review should be defined together.
Start with the equipment catalogue
Record the model references, permitted indoor and outdoor unit combinations, mounting options, accessories and available finishes. Define which choices can be validated by product rules and which require technical review. A dimension or colour selector alone cannot establish that a system is suitable for the building.
If calculations or equipment-sizing tools are required, specify the responsible calculation method, input data, reviewer and connection to the quotation. Treat these as explicit project requirements rather than assuming that a 3D model supplies the engineering decision.
Separate visual previews from verified site data
A 3D or AR preview can help someone discuss placement and appearance. It should not be presented as a substitute for checked measurements, clearances or installation assessment unless the relevant measurement workflow has actually been implemented and validated.
| Project input | Responsibility to define |
|---|---|
| Model and accessory codes | Catalogue owner approves allowed combinations |
| Room and installation dimensions | Identify who measures, verifies and can revise them |
| Proposed equipment position | Record the choice and any conditions for approval |
| Access, mounting and connection questions | Route unresolved issues to the responsible reviewer |
| Installation and delivery charges | Identify the agreed price source and review boundaries |
Preserve units and the revision of each accepted input. A change after quotation should remain visible to the sales and installation teams.
Build a quote from the same specification
The quotation can explain selected equipment, accessories and agreed services as separate lines. Define tax treatment, price validity, exclusions and whether installation charges are confirmed or subject to review. The accepted price must refer to the same product revision the customer considered.
Where your existing CRM, calendar or order system is involved, agree the identifiers, field mapping, access and delivery status. Creating a quotation does not by itself confirm an available installation slot.
Evaluate the software before choosing a scope
Use a normal catalogue combination, an incompatible request and a project with incomplete site information. Check the resulting explanation, saved specification and quotation. Test what happens when a verified measurement changes and when an integration needs to retry a failed transfer.
The implementation schedule depends on the catalogue, models, rules, calculations and connections required. Assess your team's actual process instead of relying on a universal site-survey duration.
