Industries · Architectural hardware

Specify, visualise and order the right hardware the first time.

With so many design and function options, it's hard for specifiers and interior architects to visualise the look for their clients. Interactive 3D configuration takes the complexity out of selecting compatible products, and accurate finish and scale visualisation reduces the specification errors that lead to delays.

The challenge

Architectural hardware is more than choosing a handle.

Architects, designers and trade buyers weigh profile, function and compatibility across many components, then need to see how the hardware looks with the chosen doors and windows, and the wider design of each room. Static catalogues and technical drawings leave too many of those questions unanswered.

Will it work together?
Door levers, bathroom mixers or window profiles: system compatibility creates complex specification decisions that are slow to communicate through traditional catalogues.
How will it look?
Hardware needs to be seen in context. Architects and specifiers want to see a handle, hinge or fitting on the actual door, window or facade, not in isolation.

Configurator

Show customers and specifiers exactly what they're selecting.

When hardware comes in hundreds of profiles, finishes, functions and configurations, a static catalogue isn't enough. Plattar turns your catalogue into interactive experiences that let customers configure their solution without becoming overwhelmed.

Agentic-native

Ready for specification agents.

Architects and specifiers are starting to use AI tools to research products and check compatibility. Plattar makes your hardware range something those agents can read, validate and specify.

1

Compatibility agents can rely on

Plattar's secure agentic layer exposes profiles, finishes, functions, product codes and compatibility rules as actions you allow an agent to use, so every specification it builds is one you can supply.

  • WebMCP
  • Compatibility rules
  • Product codes
  • Finishes
2

Connected to your quoting and ordering

Configured, validated specifications pass straight into the systems that quote, schedule and fulfil them.

  • CPQ
  • ERP
  • CRM
  • Specification outputs

WebMCP is one example: an emerging open standard that lets a website declare what it can do to AI agents. Plattar supports it from day one.
