Three surfaces
VendorCAD has three surfaces. Do not collapse them.
| Surface | Who it is for | Job | Public URL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website | Prospects | Explain, sell, capture demos | vendorcad.com |
| App | Manufacturer team | Build and operate configurators | app.vendorcad.com/app |
| Published configurator | Buyers, dealers, sales | Configure, preview, request a quote | /configure/*, /share/*, embeds |
Why the split matters
The App is the product: CAD connection, parameters, rules, builder, outputs, publish, quotes, users. The published configurator is what their customers use. The website sells the system.
How they connect
- Marketing or a sales call sends someone to the website or a demo launch.
- Your team works in the App to define the family and publish a version.
- The published link is what a buyer or dealer opens mid-call.
- Quote requests and exports land back in the App inbox.
This documentation site is a fourth docs host (docs.vendorcad.com). It explains the App. It is not a fourth product surface.
Demo tenant
The interactive demo is the same application with seeded data. Destructive actions are restricted; a Demo badge may appear. Integrations stay limited. You still walk the real /app/* routes.
