CDF Distributors — Custom Door Designer & Quote Builder
How we automated an industrial door distributor's entire quote-to-payment workflow with a 12-step configurator, order management, and QuickBooks integration.
The Challenge
CDF Distributors, an industrial commercial door supplier, relied on a manual quote process for custom door configurations. Sales reps spent hours calculating pricing across door types, frames, hardware options, and finish combinations — often producing inconsistent quotes and slow follow-up.
They needed a commercial door quote builder that could handle complex industrial door SKUs, validate hardware compatibility, generate professional PDF quotes instantly, and connect to their accounting and payment systems — without forcing their team to adopt a generic ERP that didn't understand door industry workflows.
Our Solution
INFITICS designed and built a complete door configurator platform — a customer-facing 12-step door designer paired with a backend order management system. The platform automates the full sales cycle from first website visit through payment processing.
The configurator walks customers through door selection, frame specifications, hardware packages, finishes, and add-ons. A custom pricing engine applies CDF's business rules in real time, eliminating manual spreadsheet work and calculation errors.
