In collaboration with a growing partner network, Configura continues to grow its offerings year over year with the implementation of new product Extensions and manufacturer Libraries. The needs of the user community are constantly influencing the company’s path forward and the decisions made to enhance and expand its platform.

“The vitality of the CET community remained strong throughout 2023. Thanks to the hard work of our partners and our own developers, we are truly humbled by the continued growth with the addition of 29 Extensions and 15 Libraries to our platform,” said Configura CEO Stefan Persson. “Our users get access to thousands of products helping them to design beautiful spaces, and we sincerely value the commitment of our partners and the companies and users who continue to support our mission.”

Cofigura’s goal is to be proactive for its customers by uncovering any pain points and solving problems by providing the best user experience and products for designing, specifying, showing and selling spaces.
