Outdoor kitchen configurator software for dealer networks
Dealect gives outdoor kitchen manufacturers one configurator for the whole dealer network. Dealers build the island on screen, watch the price update with every click, and send you a clean order your shop can build. No spreadsheets, no waiting on your office for every price.
What is an outdoor kitchen configurator?
An outdoor kitchen configurator is software that lets a dealer or buyer assemble a custom outdoor kitchen on screen: the island layout, grill and burners, sink, storage modules, countertop, and finishes. It holds the manufacturer's rules, so every combination it offers is one the factory can build, and it prices the build as the options change. For manufacturers who sell through dealers, it replaces manual quoting. The dealer configures the kitchen with the buyer, quotes it with their own margin, and sends a complete, valid order to the factory. Quotes go out in minutes, prices stay current, and production gets a spec it can trust.
Dealect is that configurator, plus the dealer portal and the order flow around it. Dealers get their own login and their own prices. You get one place where products, prices, quotes, and orders live, instead of a hundred email threads.
Why quoting outdoor kitchens by hand breaks down
A modular product with appliances, sizes, and finishes has more combinations than any spreadsheet can hold.
Too many combinations
One island changes size, shape, appliances, countertop, and finish. A price list cannot keep up, so dealers guess, and every guess is a risk.
Every quote runs through you
Dealers wait on your office to price each build. The buyer who was ready to sign waits with them, and some of them walk away.
Spreadsheets go stale
Options and prices change, but old files keep circulating. A dealer quoting from last season's list sells at the wrong price, and the difference comes out of someone's margin.
Wrong specs reach the shop
A hand-typed order with one field off becomes a build sheet. An outdoor kitchen is custom work. A wrong cut cannot be restocked or resold.
How Dealect works for outdoor kitchens
One flow from the first click to the shop floor. The dealer configures, the quote follows, the order arrives clean.
Step 01 · Your dealer, with the buyer
Step 1: Configure
The dealer builds the kitchen on screen: island size and side, grill and burner count, sink, storage, countertop, and finish. Your rules sit behind every option, so the configurator only offers combinations your factory builds. The buyer watches their exact kitchen take shape in 3D.
Step 02 · The price follows every click
Step 2: Quote
The price updates as the options change. The dealer quotes on their own prices, sees their own margin, and your cost price stays with you. A finished quote reaches the buyer in minutes instead of days.
Step 03 · From yes to build sheet
Step 3: Order
When the buyer says yes, the configuration becomes the order. It arrives priced, valid, and complete, and it waits on your approval before anything reaches the floor. Production builds from the spec exactly as it was configured. Nothing retyped.
What a modular island system actually multiplies out to
A single island range, broken into the choices a dealer makes standing in a showroom.
- Run lengthSix through fourteen feet, in two-foot increments.
- 5
- LayoutStraight, L-return, or U, which changes the corner cabinets.
- 3
- GrillBurner counts, each with its own cut-out and clearance.
- 4
- Sink and fridgeIn or out, and both pull utilities through the base.
- 2
- CountertopGranite, quartz, concrete, porcelain, or stainless.
- 5
- Door finishThe six that survive an outdoor season.
- 6
5 × 3 × 4 × 2 × 5 × 6 = 3,600 buildable islands.
That is one range. A maker with three ranges is past ten thousand before anyone has asked about a pergola. The list a dealer quotes from is never the whole product; it is the corner of it somebody had time to type up. A configurator computes the number from the rules instead, so the fourteen-foot U with the concrete top is quotable on the same afternoon as the six-foot straight run.
Who it is for
Dealect is built for manufacturers of high-ticket custom outdoor kitchens who sell through dealers. If your dealers call your office every time they need a price, this page is about you.
- Outdoor kitchen manufacturers selling through dealer networks
- Makers of modular island and cabinet systems with many finishes
- Manufacturers whose dealers still quote from PDFs and spreadsheets
Outdoor kitchens are not the only vertical. We also build configurators for saunas. Read the sauna configurator page, or explore the whole platform on the Dealect homepage. If the same buyer wants a roof over the island, that is our pergola configurator. Both verticals run on the same engine, and a separate page walks through how the 3D product configurator works. For the quoting side your dealers work in every day, read what a sales configurator. The place those dealers sign in to quote and order is the B2B customer portal.
Outdoor kitchen configurator questions
Can the configurator handle modular islands with appliances and finishes?
Yes. Modules, appliance slots, sizes, countertops, and finishes are all options with rules behind them. If a grill does not fit a cabinet, the configurator never offers the pair, so every quoted kitchen is one your factory can build.
Do dealers see their own prices and margin on outdoor kitchen quotes?
Yes. Each dealer quotes on their own prices and watches their margin while they configure. Your cost price stays with you, and the buyer only sees the finished quote.
How long does it take to launch an outdoor kitchen configurator?
Weeks, not months. You bring your options, rules, and price list, and Dealect builds the configurator for your product line. You hear the go-live timeline on the demo call. There is no IT project on your side, and approved orders can land in your ERP.
What does an outdoor kitchen configurator cost?
You pay per manufacturer, not per dealer or per seat, so adding a showroom does not change the bill. The price follows the depth of your island range: how many modules, appliance slots, and finishes, how many rules tie them together, and whether orders have to reach your ERP. There is no list price on this site, because one figure could not be true for every line. You get your number on the 30-minute demo call.
Why not a free design tool or a price list?
A free kitchen planner draws a picture and stops. It does not know which grill fits which cabinet, what the countertop overhang costs, or what your dealer's margin is, so the dealer still prices the island by hand afterwards. A price list knows the numbers but cannot show the buyer the kitchen. A configurator carries both: the rules that keep the island buildable and the price that moves with every choice, and it hands the shop the exact specification the buyer approved.
