Success Stories
A Leading Dock Manufacturer Puts Customers in the Driver's Seat of Design
Location New York, United States
As a leading manufacturer of high-quality, customizable dock systems for residential and commercial waterfront properties.
Fingent helped Bestmade Docks build the Dock Builder App, a web-based tool that lets customers collaborate on 2D dock designs in real time, choosing styles, layouts, and specifications themselves before a single piece is built. The app helped customers do more than just order a dock, but enabled them to design their docks in real-time with down-to-the-last detailing.
Want to explore the
full story?
- Greater customer engagement through direct participation in the design process
- Improved accuracy in final builds, with fewer mismatches between expectation and delivery
- Reduced material wastage from better upfront design collaboration
- Faster, automated quoting based on real design and shipping variables
- Stronger collaboration between customers and the build team throughout the process
Before Fingent built our Dock Builder App, customers had to trust a sketch and our word for what they’d get. Now they’re building one with us.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 3D dock configurator handle custom or non-standard dock designs?
The configurator is built on a flexible product rules engine, so it isn’t limited to a fixed set of presets. Standard pier lengths, boat lift models, and finishes are available out of the box, while custom dimensions, materials, or add-ons can be modeled as configurable options with their own compatibility rules. So, even non-standard requests stay within what’s actually buildable.
Can the 3D dock configurator integrate with our existing pricing or ERP system?
Yes. The configurator connects to your existing price book so every material, size, and lift-capacity choice reflects real, current pricing rather than static estimates. Completed configurations and quotes can also sync directly into your CRM or ERP system, eliminating manual re-entry between sales and fulfillment.
Do customers need special software to use the 3D dock configurator?
No. It runs entirely in the browser, so customers can explore and build a dock or boat lift configuration from a desktop, tablet, or their own phone. No downloads, plugins, or CAD experience is required. It also works well on showroom kiosks for in-person consultations.
How long does the 3D dock configurator implementation typically take?
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of your product catalog like how many dock systems, lift models, materials, and configuration rules need to be built and modeled in 3D.
Can multiple dealers or locations use one configurator?
Yes. The configurator supports multi-location and dealer-network use from a single shared source of product data. It allows every dealer to quote docks and boat lifts consistently with catalog and pricing updates pushed out centrally instead of managing one location at a time.
