DeineTeamwear: switching 3D configurators in one month

For DeineTeamwear, the configurator is an important entry point for business: customers customize their sportswear and use the resulting design to make an enquiry. Both the customer experience and the team's ability to manage the range need to work well.

The company already had a 3D configurator in place. As usability, product management and working with the previous provider became recurring concerns, DeineTeamwear chose the 3D Designer by 3ddesigner.io. The switch took place within one month. All existing designs and 3D models could be reused with minor adjustments.

DeineTeamwear: custom sportswear for companies and teams

DeineTeamwear↗ (Opens in a new tab) offers high-quality sportswear for corporate runs, clubs and teams. Individuality and sustainability are central to its offering: customers personalize their clothing with their own colours, logos and artwork.

On its company website↗ (Opens in a new tab), DeineTeamwear describes its use of recycled materials and manufacturing within the EU. Its service also includes support from an in-house design team.

With shirts, trousers, jackets and many designs, the range is extensive. The team regularly needs to create products, add templates and update existing artwork. Straightforward product management was therefore a central requirement for the new solution.

An existing configurator with day-to-day obstacles

DeineTeamwear initially started with another 3D configurator provider from Spain. Customers could already use it to design their clothing, but there were difficulties in daily use.

When we tried the configurator on the company's website, we found parts of the process unintuitive and experienced poor performance in places. We contacted DeineTeamwear to ask whether the team would like to see our solution.

They replied immediately. The next day, we spoke with the management team and a designer on a video call. They described their experience: features were missing, requested changes took a long time, and they felt the existing provider responded too slowly when problems arose. Communication and support also fell short of their expectations.

Simpler day-to-day product management

As we presented our 3D Designer, it quickly became clear which question mattered most to DeineTeamwear: How easily can we manage products and designs every day?

The team was used to product creation, updates and adding new designs being cumbersome and time-consuming. In our software, they saw how directly these tasks could be handled.

With a large range, that affects many recurring tasks. Every new template should be available to customers without setting it up becoming a substantial project of its own. Intuitive management was therefore particularly convincing for DeineTeamwear.

Why the licence price was only part of the decision

DeineTeamwear openly noted that our solution cost a little more than its previous one. At the same time, the team felt the software was clearly mature.

A large part of the business depends on enquiries through the configurator. The company therefore considered the work a solution creates in daily operations: how long does a change take? How easily can customers create their designs? What happens when the team needs help with a problem?

From DeineTeamwear's perspective, the benefits justified the higher licence price. Continuing to save on such an important tool while accepting ongoing problems seemed more expensive in the long run. That assessment led to the decision to switch.

Moving within one month

The move benefited from the work that had already been done. DeineTeamwear had created numerous designs and 3D models for its range. All of them could be reused in the new designer after minor adjustments.

All existing designs and 3D models could continue to be used. This simplified the migration and helped it move quickly: DeineTeamwear switched to 3ddesigner.io within one month.

The project shows that changing providers can build on existing content. Which models and designs can be transferred depends on the files involved. At DeineTeamwear, all existing designs and 3D models could be transferred with minor adjustments.

Managing a large range within the team

In the 3D Designer's product management, the team manages the components of its customizable products. These include 3D models, sizes, design templates and the features customers can use when creating their design.

These tasks are handled in the admin dashboard. This makes it easier to develop a range, offer new designs and update existing products.

For DeineTeamwear, straightforward maintenance was a major reason for choosing the software. The company needed a solution that supported everyday management of its extensive range while letting customers design their own sportswear.
