Windows and doors
Window and door software for manufacturers and their dealers
Every window and door you make is a one-off: profile, glazing, hardware, sizes. So quotes wait on the factory, orders get re-keyed, and errors reach the saw. Dealect puts configure, quote and produce in one place. Your dealer builds the unit in 3D, the price follows every click, and the order reaches production complete.
The platform
Your buyer starts it. Your team closes it.
Six modules pass one project down the line, from the first click on your site to a build your shop can make.

In plain words
What window and door software does
Window and door software lets a manufacturer's dealers configure a window or a door on screen and returns the price of that exact unit as they build it. Frame profile, material, glazing package, hardware and sizes all price themselves as they are chosen, and the rules underneath allow only combinations the factory can produce. It replaces the price book, the re-drawn quote and order re-entry: a question that used to travel to the factory and back now answers itself while the buyer is still in the room. Three artifacts fall out of one configuration: a priced 3D model, a branded quote, and a production-ready spec with its cut list. Buyers also search for it as doors and windows software or software for doors and windows; the category is the same. It runs in the browser, from the manufacturer's one catalog, with nothing installed.
What it replaces
The price book, the callback, the re-key
A dealer wants a tilt and turn window at 1,400 by 1,600 with triple glazing. That question goes to the factory and comes back on Thursday, then gets typed again into the order.
What it outputs
A priced model, a branded quote, a cut list
The spec production works from: profile lengths, glazing sizes, hardware positions, reinforcement. Nothing is retyped between the quote and the saw.

Who it's for
Built for the manufacturer, opened to the dealer network
The manufacturer keeps the catalog and the rules. The dealers quote from them at their own margin.
The window and door manufacturer
Catalog management stays yours: profiles, materials, glazing, hardware, and the rules that decide what your line can produce. You set prices once, and every quote across the network reads them. Your production team receives orders it can cut from without a phone call.
Their dealer network
Dealers are your sales channel: they quote at their own margin, on their own branding, without ever seeing your factory cost. A dealer needs a browser and a login, and every lead they raise stays under their name.
This is not a CRM for installation contractors, and it is not a homeowner design toy. It is the selling and production layer for the business that manufactures the windows and doors, and for the dealers who sell them.
The problem
Why does every custom unit become a question for the factory?
The dealer measures the opening and emails the factory. The price comes back when somebody works it out, gets retyped into the order, and the error surfaces at the saw, on a custom window nobody can restock. The whole network moves only as fast as you can answer.
Side by side · one unit, two ways to quote it
| In a quote | The way it runs today | With window and door software |
|---|---|---|
| Who prices it | The factory. Every high-variation order lands on one desk. | The dealer, in the browser, at their own margin. |
| Time to a number | Days, once the spreadsheet opens. | Minutes, while the buyer is still deciding. |
| What the buyer sees | A figure in an email and a drawing they cannot read. | The window they chose, in 3D, priced as configured. |
| What production gets | A quote to interpret and re-key. | A spec that already passed your rules, cut list included. |
| Where errors surface | At the saw, on a custom door with no resale. | On screen, before the quote is ever sent. |
The capabilities
Everything the software runs
Nine jobs, one place: the catalog, the pricing, and the paperwork between a buyer's choice and your saw.
The catalog and the rules
Frame profiles and materials: PVC, wood, aluminium. Glazing packages, hardware, colors and sizes. Every option carries a rule, so a sash too wide for its profile is blocked before it ever prices.
Pricing and quoting
Pricing follows the configuration: every choice moves the total, priced from your current list rather than a rep's memory. Quotes leave as branded PDFs with the 3D view and the option list, at each dealer's own margin.
Orders and production
An accepted quote becomes an order without re-keying. Production receives the spec and the cut list, profile lengths and glazing sizes included, and your ERP receives the same order through an integration, not a retype.
It ships as one window and door software platform, designed around a manufacturer's line rather than assembled from parts. The catalog, the rules, the pricing and the order flow run as one system, streamlined from a buyer's first click to a spec on the shop floor.

The window configurator, working
In August 2026 we read the five vendor pages ranking in the US for this category. Every one describes configuring, quoting and producing. Not one shows a working screen. Here it is.
Step 01 · Configure
Step 1: Assemble the window in 3D
The window configurator redraws the 3D view on every choice of profile, glazing and hardware. A bay window with a mullion out of place never makes it past the rules, so what the buyer approves is what your factory can build.
Step 02 · Quote
Step 2: The quote follows the clicks
The price updates as the window is built, from your list, at the dealer's margin. When the buyer agrees, a branded PDF quote goes out with the drawing, the option list and the total.
Step 03 · Produce
Step 3: The cut list falls out
The same configuration becomes the production spec: profile lengths, glazing sizes, hardware positions. The saw cuts what the buyer approved, and nobody drew the door twice.
The same rules that run the window configurator run a door configurator: entry doors, patio sliders and bifolds price the same way. The engine underneath is our 3D product configurator, running your catalog.
Quoting
Quoting that protects your margin
Window quoting software earns its keep in the gap between the price list and the quote that goes out. A manual quote leaks margin quietly: a superseded price, a forgotten reinforcement, glazing billed at last year's rate. A rule-checked quote cannot forget an option, because the option priced itself when it was chosen. Pricing decisions live in the catalog, not in a rep's memory.
The same discipline covers estimating. What buyers search for as window and door estimating software is this mechanism: pricing from the catalog instead of from memory. Window estimating software that stops at a number still leaves the re-key; here the estimate is already the order. Quotes go out faster, and speed is only the visible win. Accuracy is the quiet one.
The margin mechanics
The dealer sees your price with their margin applied. Your factory cost never renders on a dealer's screen. A discount below the floor you set waits for your approval.
We do not set the energy numbers a window is sold on. The U-factor, solar heat gain, and air leakage on the label are certified ratings, issued under the program the National Fenestration Rating Council runs. A configurator carries the rated option into the price, so the quote and the label state the same product.
The dealer network
One window and door software platform, every dealer quoting.
Your catalog is the single source. Every dealer quotes from it at their own margin, and every lead stays tied to the dealer who owns it.
You manage the catalog, the rules and the price list in one place. Every dealer opens the same window and door software on that catalog. A unit quoted in Ohio is built the way a unit quoted in Texas is built. Change a price on Monday and the whole network is quoting the new one on Monday.
Each dealer sees your prices with their margin applied and never your cost. Every configuration a buyer makes, on your site or a dealer's, becomes a lead tied to the dealer who owns it. The portal each dealer signs into is our b2b customer portal, and the whole platform is on the Dealect homepage.
What each dealer gets
- Their own margin
- Your published price with their margin on top. Your factory cost never renders on their screen.
- Their own branding
- Quotes go out in the dealer's name, from the dealer's screen, on the dealer's paper.
- Their own leads
- Every configuration from their site or region lands in their pipeline, under their name.
What changes
What does the software take out of a window quote?
Counts, not outcomes. These are facts about the software, measured on one custom window from first click to production.
One custom door, quoted through the configurator · counts, not claims
3 artifacts from one configuration
A priced 3D model, a branded quote, and the cut list, all from one entry.
0 times the spec is retyped
The configuration becomes the quote, the order and the production spec. Nothing keyed twice.
1 catalog serving the whole network
One window and door software catalog: profiles, rules and prices managed once, quoted everywhere.
What we will not put a number on
Order accuracy and quote speed depend on your catalog, your dealers and your market, so we do not publish a percentage for yours. Bring one window line and your price list to a 30-minute call and we will time the quote in front of you.
FAQ
Questions from window and door makers
Production and ERP, through the order. An accepted quote leaves as a structured order carrying the full spec and cut list. An integration hands it to your ERP, so nothing is retyped on the way. The manufacturer's catalog and price list stay in one place either way.
A window and door maker with one product line and a handful of dealers gets the same mechanics as a multi-line manufacturer. The catalog scales, the rules scale, and a new dealer costs nothing to add. If dealers, branches or reps quote your units, the network is big enough to need one catalog.
A wrong quote costs twice: an underquoted door ships at a loss, an overquoted one loses the deal. Manual quotes leak through superseded prices and forgotten options, and adding another rep does not improve accuracy; rules do. A rule-checked quote prices every option the moment it is chosen, so the number the buyer signs is a number you can produce at.
It is a subscription, priced per manufacturer rather than per seat, so a growing dealer network does not grow the bill. What you pay follows two inputs: how deep your catalog is and how many dealers quote from it. Catalog depth means the product families the engine holds, each with its options, rules and price list, so a second family moves the number more than a tenth dealer does. The dealers themselves never pay for access; nothing lands on their side as a fee, and adding one more dealer is an invitation rather than a line on the bill. The model is on our pricing page, and after a demo we send you one number scoped to your line. A first line, one window family with its options and rules, is measured in weeks rather than months.
Yes. You publish prices to the network, each dealer sets a margin over them and quotes at the result. The factory cost lives on your side and never renders on a dealer's screen, and a discount below the floor you set waits for your approval.
Yes. The window configurator runs on your site and on each dealer's site, from the same catalog. A buyer configuring on a dealer's page already sees that dealer's prices. Nothing installs and nobody maintains a second copy. Every finished configuration becomes a lead tied to the site it came from.
