Monmouth Scientific specialise in Filtration and Ducted Fume Cabinets installations. Monmouth Scientifics end goal with DriveWorks was to have a clean room configurator that would enable the customer, assisted by the sales team, to design their own bespoke clean room. Introducing the 3D configurator has saved both the sales team and design team a lot of time in the design-to-order process. Now they can have a 3D image for every quote and they can interactively work through the layout with the client.
