CutOptim Configurator — the cut-to-size product configurator for your webshop

CutOptim Configurator is a product configurator that a cut-to-size shop embeds in its own webshop. Your customer enters the parts they need, sees the cutting plan and the price as they type, and orders. You set the boards, the prices and the rules; the optimizer behind it is the one the CutOptim app uses.

Quick answer

CutOptim Configurator is an embeddable cut-to-size product configurator. A sheet-material shop adds it to its own webshop with one line of code; its customers enter their parts, see a cutting plan and a price built from the shop's own rules, and order. The order reaches the shop with a signed quote.

What goes in, what comes out

The customer works in your shop, under your brand. They pick a board from your catalogue, type or upload their parts and choose edge banding and machining where you offer it. Back comes a cutting plan for your saw and a price built from your own rules.

How it works in four steps

There is no new shop system to adopt. The configurator sits inside the shop you already run.

  1. Load your catalogue

    Add your boards, edgings and prices by hand or from a CSV or Excel file, and check them in a preview before they go live.

  2. Set your price rules

    Per sheet, per square metre, per metre of cut, edge banding per metre, machining, surcharges and a minimum order — the way your shop already charges.

  3. Paste one line of code

    Put it on your shop page and choose how it opens: on the page, as a pop-up, as a side panel or as its own page.

  4. Receive the order

    Your customer orders; the order comes back to your shop with the signed price and the cut list.

The same line of code — pick how it opens.

Why a live cutting plan sells better than a price list

A customer who orders cut panels does not think in sheets — they think in parts. When they can see their parts laid out on your boards and the price change as they add one more shelf, they stop writing e-mails asking for a quote. Your staff stop retyping cut lists, and the plan your saw follows is the plan the customer saw.

You stay in control of price and brand

Every price comes from rules you set and the configurator never invents one. Colours, fonts and corners follow your brand, the texts can be changed in all ten languages, and you decide which steps and fields your customer sees — grain, edge banding, machining, the yield and the off-cuts can each be switched on or off.

  • — Ten languages, metric or imperial units, your currency and VAT.
  • — Ready-made furniture templates, so a customer can start from a cabinet instead of an empty list.
  • — Customers can save a project and come back to it.

Who it is for

Board and panel merchants, timber yards, glass and plastic sheet shops — any business that cuts sheet material to order and wants to take those orders online. The configurator handles rectangular parts cut on a panel saw or a glass table; the cutting plan is one your saw can actually make.

Frequently asked questions

What is the CutOptim Configurator?
It is a cut-to-size product configurator that sheet-material shops embed in their own webshop. The customer enters the parts they need, sees a cutting plan and the price live, and orders. The shop sets the boards, the prices and the rules, and receives the order with the signed price and the cut list.
Do I need a new webshop to use it?
No. You paste one line of code into a page of the shop you already run, and the configurator opens on that page, as a pop-up, as a side panel or as its own page. The order then returns to your shop. Nothing about your products, checkout or payments has to move.
How is the price calculated?
From the rules you set: a full-sheet price, a price per square metre with a waste percentage, a price per metre of cut, or a sheet price plus cutting. On top come edge banding per metre, machining, surcharges, a minimum order, VAT and rounding. The configurator never makes a price up.
Can the customer change the price before ordering?
No. When the customer orders, the configurator issues a signed quote. Your shop can verify the signature on its server, so a price that was altered in the browser is refused. The price the customer saw is the price that reaches you.
Which languages and units does it support?
The configurator speaks all ten languages of the CutOptim site and works in millimetres, centimetres or inches. You choose the default language, unit, currency and VAT display, and you can change any customer-facing text per language.
How do I try it?
Open the live demo on this site: it runs on a demo shop with real boards and prices, so you can enter parts, watch the plan and the price, and place a test order. When you want to set up your own catalogue and prices, start a free sandbox in the console.
