Configura Launches Aline: A Web-Based Proposal Tool for Easier Specifying, Collaboration, and Proposals
Linköping, Sweden – Dec. 2—Configura, a global leader in design and specification software for the commercial interiors industry, has officially launched Aline, a web-based tool that helps to quickly specify commercial furniture products using manufacturer catalogs, with built-in collaboration and proposal tools designed to efficiently address simple day-to-day requests.
As a dynamic addition to Configura’s expanding ecosystem, Aline empowers manufacturers, dealers, and design firms to accelerate the specification of commercial furniture. Aline reduces internal back-and-forth, minimizes delays, and delivers a smoother client experience. By simplifying the journey from request to order-ready, Aline helps teams work more efficiently and serve clients with confidence. The platform integrates up-to-date product data, customizable discount structures, and team-based controls to ensure accuracy across every quote, while secure share links and in-proposal commenting make communication seamless between teams and clients.
“Aline was created to help our users work faster, smarter, and with more confidence,” said Erin Corrill, Vice President of Marketing at Configura. “By bringing quoting and collaboration into a single, web-based experience, Aline simplifies the complex world of commercial interiors sales. It enables teams to move from concept to close without the roadblocks of manual pricing or scattered communication.”
Developed in close partnership with intended Aline users, the tool reflects Configura’s human-centered approach to innovation, combining technical precision with real-world usability. The tool’s flexible, subscription-based licensing makes it accessible for teams of any size, while its browser-based design ensures instant deployment without IT complexity.
“The interface is really what first got my attention with Aline,” said Brett Stortz, Senior Territory Manager at AIS and early adopter of Aline. “We are a visual industry, and you see the product before you specify. It gives our sales team a tool to easily quote furniture pieces and take that task off our design department’s plate, which will help free up some of their busy schedule as well.”
With Aline, Configura continues to expand its suite of solutions for design and specification, connecting tools like CET Commercial Interiors, Spec, and Stage under one cohesive digital framework.
Aline is available now through the Configura Marketplace, with onboarding supported by live training webinars and on-demand learning resources. To learn more, visit configura.com/products/aline.
