Providing Quotes and Technical Drawings within Minutes, Anytime, Anywhere, Any Day with DriveWorks

F.H.Brundle is a family owned business. Founded in 1889, they are wholesalers of steel products which includes a market leading range of handrail and balustrade systems. F.H.Brundle stock over 8500 products and new lines are continuously being added.

Choosing a Solution

F.H.Brundle wanted a software that would allow customers to configure systems to their own dimensions, creating accurate quotes and detailed drawings in minutes, saving their customers hours of work and helping to eliminate mistakes.

As they are adding products all the time, it was important for F.H.Brundle to find a solution that they could set up and manage themselves.

After much research, F.H.Brundle decided that DriveWorks was the best software for their needs.

Project Development

At DriveWorks World 2018 Richard, Design Office Manager, and Liz, CAD Manager at F.H.Brundle took to the stage to show how they have used DriveWorks to create Liveconfigurator™.

Liveconfigurator™ is F.H.Brundle’s online 3D configurator for their internal teams, distributors and customers.

Since DriveWorks World 2018, Liveconfigurator™ has gone live and has been very well received.

We caught up with F.H.Brundle to find out more.

Making Design Simple

“Our team designed Liveconfigurator™ to make life simple for anyone who needs a quote and would like detailed drawings for one of our systems.”

With many years of experience in both the practical and technical design of balustrades, F.H.Brundle have added their knowledge and expertise into their configurator, to make it easy for anyone to design a system that meets their needs.

“As many of our customers are in the trade, we are helping others to improve their business and make their customers happier too.”

“Our trade customers save time estimating, quoting and drawing for each job because Liveconfigurator™ creates everything they need for each custom order.”

“Thanks to DriveWorks, we provide quotes and drawings for each custom order, at no extra cost.”
