The leading provider of configurator-based software solutions, TDCI, Inc. today announced that a growing Midwestern manufacturer of vinyl windows and patio doors, Thermo-Tech Windows, Thermo-Tech Windows, has selected TDCI's BuyDesign software to provide dealers and sales people with streamlined quoting and ordering capabilities.

Developed to streamline the sales process for customized products, BuyDesign is a comprehensive guided selling and configuration solution. By becoming 'easy to do business with' while at the same time helping them improve profitability by reducing order processing time, cost, and errors, BuyDesign helps companies that manufacture products with a wide range of features, options, and dimensions increase sales.

While also enabling Thermo-Tech sales reps who work directly with large builders to develop quotes on their laptop PCs and upload orders via the Internet, to provide the company's approximately 400 dealers with web-based self-service quoting and ordering, Thermo-Tech will take advantage of BuyDesign's Internet-oriented software architecture. With all product details, pricing, and thumbnail images, BuyDesign will provide guided product selection and configuration, dynamic visualization, and automatic generation of quote documents. To drive production, orders will be passed from BuyDesign to the company's existing manufacturing system.    

Because of the company's quality products and a focus on working closely with their sales channels, Thermo-Tech is experiencing, even during the current downturn in homebuilding, steady growth. BuyDesign is part of the company's efforts to position themselves for continued growth over the next few years.

Thermo-Tech CEO, David Kochendorfer, commented: "Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for our dealers and sales people to define, price, quote, and order our products". "We picked the BuyDesign software to help us achieve our goal because it's very intuitive, and because it's proven in the window and door industry."
