Doors, windows & glazing
Doors, windows and glazing is configure-to-order first. The product is made to spec, so the storefront is a configurator that produces a costed bill of materials, a lead time and dealer pricing, not a shelf of finished SKUs.
A doors, windows and glazing maker: nearly every order is configured to spec (size, material, glass, hardware, finish), each with its own lead time and dealer price. On Acumatica, with configuration and quoting living in spreadsheets and email.

The reality in doors, windows & glazing
- 1
Most orders are made-to-order and must be configured by size, material, glass, hardware and finish into a costed bill of materials.
- 2
Each configuration carries its own lead time, which the buyer needs before committing.
- 3
Dealer and channel pricing tiers apply on top of the configured price.
- 4
The configured order has to hand a clean bill of materials to the ERP for production and fulfillment.
From friction to surety.
Celeste centers configure-to-order. It checks whether each platform can build a made-to-order configuration into a costed bill of materials, quote a lead time per configuration, apply dealer pricing, and hand a clean BOM to the ERP for production. It ranks on configurator depth and the ERP hand-off, not on storefront features, and flags where configured orders fall back to manual re-entry.
They walk away with a shortlist that configures and prices made-to-order units and feeds production cleanly, the integration approach for the BOM hand-off, and the build order. The configurator and lead-time questions are answered first.
A sample. Your report is scored against your business, your ERP and the way you actually sell.

Questions buyers ask
Why is a configurator the core of doors and windows ecommerce?
Because the product does not exist until it is configured. Size, material, glass package, hardware and finish combine into a made-to-order unit, so the storefront has to build that configuration, price it, quote a lead time, and emit a bill of materials the factory can build from.
How do lead times fit the buying flow?
They are part of the quote, not a surprise at checkout. Each configuration has its own production lead time, and a dealer needs to see it before committing so they can schedule the job. Surfacing lead time per configuration is a trust and conversion lever.
