Design Approach for Highly Configurable Web Configurator &Ordering Platform

Abstract

This paper describes the creation of an online web configurator for a leading cabinet manufacturer's customizable product. It focuses on the challenges
of integrating with an existing ERP system capable of handling 5 billion configurations. The project explored options between purchasing a platform
and building a custom solution, eventually opting for a JSON Editor-based approach. The paper details the technical architecture, including B2B portal
integration, authentication, and security protocols, highlighting the complexities of replicating an extensive ERP configurator in a web-based environment.
