The configurator

Complex products, easy to choose

Systems, columns and resins have to fit together. The 3D configurator lets customers explore the options and see the result, so they can choose with confidence.

On every screen

Built for the web, usable on any device

The configurator runs in the browser with nothing to install, and the same 3D foundation has served Cytiva’s sales force on iPad.

A look at the 3D tools we have built for ÄKTA.

The challenge

ÄKTA pure alone can be configured in over a million combinations, and systems, columns and resins have to match each other. Customers and sales teams needed a guided way to explore the range and end up with a setup that works.

The solution

We built the whole Purify App: the 3D configurator, the interface and the logic that guides every choice. Customers explore ÄKTA systems, columns and resins in real-time 3D in the browser, with nothing to install.

The integrations

The configurator is connected to Cytiva’s e-commerce and other systems, so a configuration does not end on screen. It continues into the quote and order flow, and what the customer sees is what Cytiva can deliver.

Where it started

The partnership began in 2012 with a sales tool for the ÄKTA pure, built for a global sales force of more than 300 people on iPad. It sped up the sales process, gave the product a must-have feel and raised the average selling price as more customers saw the value of the add-ons. More ÄKTA systems followed, and in 2018 we built an interactive marketing visualization for the ÄKTA pilot 600. Purify App is the latest step.

“Discover ÄKTA allows me to sell in a relaxed and informal manner with my customers.”
