My experiences with the van racking configurator

I would like to start by briefly introducing myself: my name is Stephan Schneider and I am the Managing Director of S.T.E.-Elektronik in Dillingen, Germany. Once it was time for a new leasing agreement, I wanted to equip my new service vehicle (VW Caddy) with new van racking.

So the Sortimo newsletter talking about the SR5 configurator came at just the right time. The configurator made me curious right from the beginning. So I went ahead and tried it, clicking on the different options. From the moment I first clicked through them, my impression was very positive. But I had to interrupt my first test, as I ran out of time. I made another attempt the following day, with the aim of configuring an entire system and placing an order at the end of it. No sooner said than done!

Overall, the two attempts took 2.5 hours. I hadn’t come across an online configurator before, nor was I familiar with the new product range. Although I didn’t read up about the subject beforehand, I got on just fine by and large.

I haven’t had any experience with other manufacturers so far and also opted for Sortimo straight away four years ago, as I didn’t know of any other providers on the market. Since I was extremely satisfied with both the service offered and the product itself, it was immediately clear to me that I’d ask Sortimo to fit out my next vehicle.

My conclusion

I’m pleased to at last have a rack in my car and be able to store everything tidily. The SR5 configurator enabled me to put the system together to suit my specific needs. I’m now really looking forward to stowing away my work equipment and materials in my new shelving.

I’d also like to test the mySortimo graphics decal configurator. I think it’s great you can have the decals applied and the racking installed at the same time. For me this is something definitely worth considering, particularly when it comes to further vehicles. For my colleagues and me, it’s very convenient to only have to hand over our vehicles once and have everything dealt with at once. Driving to another service provider is often a right bother, and we can’t manage without our vans for very long. This is why I haven’t yet got any decals on my vehicle so far, although I’ve been considering it for years. I’d like to at last take this step with my new vehicle, possibly even with the help of Sortimo’s decal configurator.
