Case study · Tukas EV

Every bike priced live as it is built, then placed in the room.

Tukas EV has built renewable energy devices since 2010. The HR Bank turns a workout into stored electricity, and every one is ordered with its own frame material, colour and components. Ar-range built Tukas EV the configurator that lets a customer choose them, see the price from the shop as they go, and stand the bike in their room through the phone in their hand.

A product nobody has seen before cannot be sold from a photo and a price list.

So the customer builds it, prices it and places it in the room themselves.

What we built

From a list of options to a bike the customer can see, price and place.

Configure

The bike changes as they choose.

Frame materials, colours and components are picked one at a time on a 3D model rendered through the Sketchfab API, so every change is seen against everything already chosen, from any angle.

Price

The price comes from the shop, not a spreadsheet.

The configurator reads materials, products and prices from the PrestaShop store and writes the finished build back to its cart. Materials live as PrestaShop categories, the frame first, then wood, leather or paint beneath it, with colours added by HEX code, so Tukas EV switches an option on or off without touching the 3D.

Place

Into the room, from the browser.

Once configured, the bike opens in augmented reality at full size. Our script builds a GLB or USDZ file from the exact configuration; a phone shows it in the room straight away, a desktop shows a QR code to scan. No app to install.

Order

The build goes into the cart as a picture.

A screenshot of the finished configuration is generated and added to the cart with the order, so what was chosen is on record for the customer and for the workshop. Default settings are changed in one place when the range moves on.

The challenge

A product nobody had seen before, with frame materials, colours and components to choose, sold from a PrestaShop store that could show one photo and a price list.

What we delivered
  • A 3D configurator on the Sketchfab API: materials, colours and components switched live on the model.
  • Two-way PrestaShop integration: materials and prices in, the configured build and its screenshot out to the cart.
  • Web AR from the same configuration: GLB or USDZ generated on the fly, QR code on desktop, nothing to install.
  • Materials managed as shop categories and HEX codes, so the range is changed without a developer.
FAQ

What people ask about a configurator like this.

Does the customer need an app for the AR view?
No. On a phone the configured bike opens in augmented reality from the browser. On a desktop the page shows a QR code, and the phone that scans it opens the same configuration in the room.
Who manages the materials and colours?
Tukas EV does, in PrestaShop. Each material is a category under the frame, and each colour is a HEX code. Adding or retiring an option is a shop edit, not a 3D job.
Why the Sketchfab API rather than a custom engine?
The HR Bank is one model with many finishes, and the Sketchfab API renders that smoothly with nothing extra to load. Our work went into the customisation logic, the pricing and the PrestaShop integration.
What does the shop receive?
The order, with the chosen materials and components as PrestaShop products, and a screenshot of the finished configuration added to the cart alongside them.
In their words
“

It was very easy to work with them. The project was created on time, professional team. In our case, they succeeded in every step that we ordered.
