ERP with built-in3D product configurator
The outward-facing ERP – for manufacturers with configurable products
Your customers configure products in 3D directly on your website – with automatically generated CAD files, quotes and production documents. From configuration to delivery in the same system.
No other ERP vendor offers a built-in 3D product configurator with automatic CAD generation. Not Monitor. Not Visma. Not Dynamics 365.
Measurable results for manufacturing companies
Three of the most common changes we see in companies that automate their quoting and order process with a product configurator.
From days to seconds
A manual quote with drawing takes an engineer 2–4 hours. With Maxameter's configurator, the customer creates it themselves – and gets price, 3D model and CAD file instantly.
Your website becomes your best salesperson
Customers configure and order outside office hours. Quote requests come in while you sleep. Your website becomes an active sales machine.
End of double work
ERP, website, e-commerce and configurator – all in the same database. Change a price in the ERP, it shows instantly in the shop. No sync errors.
Customer case
Hyab Magneter AB
Manufacturer of permanent magnets and magnetic systems · In production since 2010
"Our 3D magnet configurator alone generated many millions in revenue. Customers could configure exactly the magnet they needed by themselves – around the clock, without calling us."
Jan Gardefelt · CEO, Hyab Magneter AB (2006–2022)
Now founder of Maxameter / Gardefelt Systems AB
Background: Hyab Magneter AB used the predecessor of Maxameter – the same core technology, now fully rebuilt with modern web technology and new modules. The experience from Hyab has shaped every part of the system.
The ERP that sells for you – while you sleep
Traditional ERP systems are closed – they handle what has already happened. Maxameter starts at the other end: your customers interact directly with the system via your website.
3D Product Configurator
Your customers configure products directly on your website – entering dimensions, materials and specifications. The product is shown in real-time 3D with a technical drawing. CAD files are generated automatically.
Quote with one click
From customer configuration to quote, order, purchase order and invoice – each step takes 1–2 clicks. Dramatically shorter lead times compared to manual processing.
Integrated E-commerce & CMS
Website, webshop and ERP system are one and the same. Products, prices and stock sync in real time. No duplicate work, no third-party connections.
Complete warehouse & logistics
Multi-warehouse management, goods receipts, picking, deliveries and stocktaking. Real-time stock levels linked to e-commerce and production planning.
Invoicing & Finance
Quote management, invoicing, accounts receivable and payment follow-up. Integration with Fortnox and Hogia for seamless accounting. OCR scanning of supplier invoices.
Tailored for you
Every Maxameter installation is adapted to your business, your products and your processes. Not a locked standard system – but a system shaped around how you actually work.
What problems do we solve – and what do you gain?
Maxameter was created because no existing system gave manufacturing companies what they truly need.
The quote process takes weeks instead of minutes
Customers call, email, send sketches. Sales reps coordinate with engineers. With Maxameter's product configurator, the customer configures themselves – dimensions, material, form – and instantly receives a price, 3D model and CAD file.
The website shows – but doesn't sell
Most manufacturers have a website that is a digital brochure. Maxameter turns the website into an active sales channel where customers can configure, order and get quotes without calling.
Systems don't talk to each other
Many companies have an ERP, a separate website, perhaps an e-commerce store, quote spreadsheets and a CAD programme on the side. Maxameter brings everything into one system.
The ERP requires weeks of training
Monitor, Visma and similar systems require weeks of training and certified consultants. Maxameter is web-based with a modern interface – minimal learning curve.
Changes require expensive consultants
Need a customisation in your current system? Book a consultant, wait, pay. Maxameter has its own development team that tailors things directly to your needs.
What changes concretely?
Quoting takes 2–5 days
Customer calls → sales bounces with engineer → manual drawing → Excel calculation
Customer gets a quote in seconds
Customer configures in 3D → price, CAD file and quote generated automatically
Website is a digital brochure
Shows what you do, but sells nothing. Visitors must call for every question.
Website accepts orders 24/7
Customers configure, order and request quotes – without calling.
3+ systems that don't talk to each other
ERP, website, e-commerce, Excel, CAD – manual transfer, double work.
Everything in one system with real-time data
Web, store, ERP, configurator, CMS – same database, zero manual steps.
Changes require expensive consultants
Wait weeks, pay hourly rates, book certified specialists.
Own dev team adapts directly
You call – we build. Maxameter owns its own code and develops in-house.
One ERP for your entire business
Maxameter handles the entire chain – from the customer configuring a product on your website to delivery and payment.

Answers to your questions
What is Maxameter?
Maxameter is a fully web-based ERP system developed by Gårdefelt Systems AB, specifically for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in Sweden. The core technology has been proven in real production environments for over 15 years, including at Hyab Magneter AB. The new Maxameter has been rebuilt from the ground up with modern web technology and AI, offering an integrated 3D product configurator with automatic CAD generation, CMS and e-commerce – all in one platform.
How does Maxameter differ from Monitor, Visma or Dynamics 365?
Unlike traditional ERP systems like Monitor, Maxameter is fully web-based and has a built-in 3D product configurator with automatic CAD generation. Compared to Visma ERP and Dynamics 365, Maxameter offers a unique combination of ERP, CMS and e-commerce in the same system – with product configurators that let your customers create products directly on your website. Each installation is tailored to your business, unlike standard systems that you have to adapt to.
What is an industrial 3D product configurator?
An industrial 3D product configurator lets your customers configure products directly on your website. The customer enters parameters such as dimensions, materials and specifications. The product is displayed in real-time in 3D with a technical drawing, and the system automatically generates CAD files, quotes and production documents. Maxameter delivers configurators for metalworking, fasteners, springs, plastics, magnets and packaging – but can be adapted for any industry.
Do I need to replace my entire ERP system to use the 3D configurator?
No. Maxameter's 3D Product Configurator is available as a standalone solution (3D Standalone) and can be added directly to your existing website – without replacing your ERP system. You keep Monitor, Visma or whichever ERP you have, and the configurator handles product presentation, quote generation and CAD export for you.
Can I buy just the product configurator without the ERP?
Yes. Maxameter's Industrial 3D Product Configurator is available as a standalone solution. It can be integrated into your existing website and used for quote requests, PDF generation and CAD export – without changing your ERP system.
Can Maxameter integrate with Fortnox or Hogia?
Yes. Maxameter handles the entire business flow – orders, inventory, invoicing, purchasing – and can be connected to Fortnox or Hogia for bookkeeping. You keep your existing accounting system and let Maxameter handle the rest.
What does Maxameter cost?
Maxameter is offered in four packages: • Manufacturer (from SEK 6,000/month) • Configurator (from SEK 12,000/month) • E-commerce add-on (from SEK 3,000/month) • 3D Standalone (from SEK 3,500/month) Each implementation is tailored and a one-time fee applies for customization and onboarding. We currently offer reduced prices for early partners through our Partner Start program.
How long does an implementation take?
A typical implementation takes 4–8 weeks depending on complexity. As an early partner, you work closely with our development team and receive the system gradually adapted to your business.
Which CAD formats does Maxameter support?
Maxameter's Industrial 3D Product Configurator generates CAD files in STEP, DWG/DXF, STL, IGES and PDF formats. The files are created automatically directly from the customer's configuration – no external CAD software needed.
How do you automate CAD generation in the sales process?
With Maxameter's product configurator, the customer enters parameters such as dimensions, materials and specifications directly on your website. The product is rendered in real-time in 3D and the system automatically generates CAD files, technical drawings and quotes. The entire process from customer configuration to finished CAD file takes seconds instead of days.
Can Maxameter handle custom-made products?
Yes, Maxameter is specifically built for manufacturing companies with configurable and custom-made products. The product configurator handles parameter-driven products where each order can be unique – and the system automatically suggests existing standard products that match the customer's specifications.
