Backyard Pod Interactive Customization and Instant Quoting

The Story of Backyard Pod

Backyard Pod is an Austin-based company specializing in modular outdoor studios and home offices. Their mission is to help customers make the most of their outdoor spaces by designing personalized, functional, and aesthetically appealing pods that blend architecture with comfort. To modernize their customer journey, Backyard Pod teamed up with Konfigear to bring an interactive design experience directly to their website.

The Product

Backyard Pod’s modular spaces serve diverse needs — from home offices and creative studios to guest rooms and wellness retreats. Every structure is fully customizable in size, materials, layout, and finishes, allowing customers to create backyard extensions that truly reflect their lifestyles.

The Challenge

As Backyard Pod’s popularity grew, so did the demand for customized designs. However, handling design requests manually was inefficient and time-consuming. Clients often struggled to visualize their ideas and understand pricing, leading to delayed quotes and lost opportunities.

The Solution: Konfigear’s Backyard Pod Configurator

Konfigear developed a web-based 3D Configurator tailored to Backyard Pod’s needs, combining intuitive design controls with realistic 3D visualization and instant price feedback. The configurator enables users to customize every aspect of their pod, from structure size to finish options, and see changes reflected instantly.

• Interactive 3D configurator built using advanced rendering technologies
• Custom dimension input for exact backyard fitting
• Real-time pricing calculation based on selected materials and configurations
• Instant quote generation with detailed cost breakdown
• High-quality 3D visualization for immersive design exploration

The Results

The Backyard Pod Configurator transformed the company’s online experience, making it easier for customers to design and order their pods without requiring in-person consultations. The result was a faster sales process, higher engagement, and improved conversion rates.

• 60% faster sales cycle through automation and instant quoting
• Improved customer satisfaction with real-time visual feedback
• Higher conversion rates due to transparent pricing and visualization
• Reduced manual quoting workload for sales and design teams

Looking Ahead

After the success of the 3D configurator, Backyard Pod plans to expand its digital offering with augmented reality visualization and direct-to-manufacturing features. The company continues to redefine how modular living spaces are designed, priced, and sold in the digital era.
