When Kompan, the largest producer of playgrounds in Europe, decided to develop a more flexible product line for the American market, they quickly realized that they needed to buy a product-configurator. They choose 3Dfacto's Array based configurator with advanced visual capabilities. Kompan's new product line is based on standard parts, which can be combined in many different ways. The different combinational possibilities combined with the application of system- and safety rules result in an almost unmanageable complexity. At least, with out the assistance of a product Configurator.

At Kompan there is no doubt, that the investment in a product configurator, will give a competitive advantage. If you want to make a difference, you have to be able to offer individual solutions at a reasonable price. Customized solutions have traditionally demanded much more effort to implement than routine or standard solutions. Now, the configurator makes the company independent of long and complicated calculations and therefore reduces the risk of incorrect deliveries. As Bent Hyldgaard Christensen says; "I see lots of possibilities with 3Dfactos technology - many more than we are capable of using at the moment. This is only the beginning. The first of many initiatives that will give customers as well as employees better opportunities to save time, be creative and have a direct influence on the finished product."

Kompan is the largest producer of playgrounds in Europe with 500 employees worldwide and a turnover of approx 600 million DKK a year. The products are exported to more than 40 countries world wide. One year production of playgrounds gives 50.000 children all over the world nice places to play and grow.
