Hiring a 3D Configurator Developer in Argentina From the US
By Facundo Campo, 3D quoting tool developer
In short: A US manufacturer can hire a 3D configurator developer in Argentina and work on nearly the same schedule, in English, with video calls and progress delivered as links to test in the browser.
Hiring a 3D configurator developer in Argentina from the US is simpler than it sounds: the workday overlaps almost completely, everything happens in English, meetings are on video, and every bit of progress shows up as a link you test in your browser. This is for the owner or sales manager of an American manufacturer who's weighing that option and wants to know what working together would actually look like, day to day.
Why look outside the US for a 3D configurator
If you build sheds, carports, pole barns or horse barns and want a 3D configurator, you've basically got three routes: a platform with a template, a big agency, or a developer who builds it around your product. Each has its place, and I compare them in custom software vs templates and 3D configurator platforms vs custom.
People who go looking for a developer usually do it because their product has its own rules (which door fits on which wall, how the frame changes with length, which options depend on others) and a template can't handle them. What you need is someone who understands construction, writes all the code and talks to you directly. At that point, where the developer lives matters a lot less than how they work.
Time zones: almost the same workday
Argentina is on UTC−3 and doesn't change clocks for daylight saving. That works out to:
- East Coast (New York, Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida): one or two hours apart, depending on the time of year.
- Central (Texas, the Midwest): two or three hours.
- West Coast: four or five.
So a 10 a.m. meeting in Ohio is 11 a.m. or noon in Buenos Aires. If something breaks at 3 p.m. in Texas, I'm at my desk. You're not waiting until tomorrow for an answer, the way you would with a team on the other side of the world.
Language and how we talk
We work in English: calls, emails, messages and the configurator itself. If some of your buyers or your team speak Spanish, we can work in Spanish too, and the configurator can come in both versions.
The channels are the usual ones: video calls for kickoff and reviews, email for anything that needs to be in writing, and WhatsApp for quick questions.
How it works, step by step
- First call. You tell me what you build, how you sell (direct, through dealers, at shows) and what you want the configurator to do for you.
- Material. You send what you already have: catalog, photos, option list, standard sizes and a few real sample quotes. You don't need 3D drawings.
- Rules. Together we sort out what can go with what. That's the part that shapes the result most; I explain it in turning building rules into software.
- Progress by link. Each step comes as a link you open in your browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. You try it, show your team and send feedback.
- Going live. The configurator goes on your website or its own address, in your buyer's language, units and currency.
There's no list price and no stock timeline: scope and budget are set per project, once I understand the product. If you want the process in more detail, it's in how a 3D quoting tool is built.
What you can try before we talk
Before any call, you can see what the engine does in the three public configurators: metal buildings, prefab homes and horse stalls. They're in English and Spanish, work on phones and tablets, and have a Walk mode to move around inside, night view, layers and a link to share a configuration. They don't show prices: that's part of each custom build.
You can also look at a real system in production: the quoting and sales system I built for EQUIBOX, a horse stall manufacturer in Berazategui, Buenos Aires, with a public 3D quoting tool, a sales dashboard with prices, a CRM and an app that quotes with no signal at agricultural shows. It's in the EQUIBOX case study.
Questions US manufacturers usually ask
Will you understand my product? That's where the work starts: how it's built and how it's sold. If your product follows rules, it can become a configurator.
What if I want to change prices or options later? Depending on the project, you manage the price table yourself, without calling anyone. Product changes get agreed on afterward.
Who am I actually talking to? Me. I'm Facundo Campo, a software developer based in Quilmes, Buenos Aires, and I design and build all of it: the 3D engine, the interface, the pricing logic, the backend and getting it live. No account managers in between.
If you run a manufacturing business in the US and want to talk about a 3D configurator, message me on WhatsApp at +54 9 11 6193-3176 or email facundocampo100@gmail.com. I answer in English and Spanish. You can also read about custom 3D quoting software or send your details through request a 3D quoting tool.
Frequently asked questions
What hours do you work?
Argentina time (UTC−3), which overlaps almost entirely with the US workday: one or two hours ahead of the East Coast and four or five ahead of the West Coast. Meetings get set during your office hours.
How do I sign off on each step?
By trying it. Every step arrives as a link you open in your browser; you go through it with your team, tell me what to change, and I adjust from there.
Can the configurator be in English, in feet and in dollars?
Yes. My site and configurators already run in English and Spanish; units, currency and your catalog wording are set up as part of the project.
Do we need to travel or meet in person?
No. Everything happens over video calls, email and WhatsApp, and deliveries are links you can test. The EQUIBOX case is online for you to look at.
