Online trailer builder
Pick the type, size, axles, ATM, sides and extras with a live price and pictures that change as options do.
Trailer manufacturer software: configurators & build tracking
Trailer manufacturers: spec it online, build it right. Weld more, admin less.
Every second call is someone asking what a 7x5 tandem costs with a cage and electric brakes. Build sheets get scribbled on the back of a quote, VINs live in a spreadsheet and nobody can say when the Smith trailer comes back from the galvaniser. We build trailer systems that let buyers spec and price their trailer online, send a clean build sheet to the workshop and keep compliance on every trailer, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for trailer configurator or trailer manufacturing software?
Trailers come in endless combinations: box, tandem, car carrier, plant, flat top or tipper, then sizes, axles, ATM, brakes, sides, cages, ramps, toolboxes, jockey wheels and spare tyres. Buyers want to see the price as they click. Dealers want to order without ringing. The workshop needs a build sheet it can actually read. Then every trailer needs its VIN, compliance plate, tare weight and paperwork sorted before it rolls out the gate.
Wollopit builds custom software for trailer manufacturers around how your yard actually runs. An online trailer builder with live pricing and rules that stop silly combos. Orders that turn into build sheets and cutting lists. A workshop board showing every trailer from chassis to pickup. Compliance records written as you build. A dealer portal with stock and orders. We connect to Xero, MYOB or Cin7 if you already use them and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from trailer manufacturers
Does your trailer manufacturer have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most trailer makers we talk to build a tough, well-made trailer and run the office on phone calls, paper and one person's memory. It holds up fine until three dealers ring on the same morning.
- The problemPrice questions all dayEvery enquiry is a phone call to price a size, an axle upgrade, a cage and a set of LED lights. Then they ring back to swap the ramps.How we fix itAn online trailer builder with live pricing that updates as buyers pick options, then sends you a ready-to-quote lead.
- The problemOptions that don't fit togetherSomeone orders a single axle with a load rating it can't carry or forgets the brakes their ATM needs.How we fix itOption rules built into the configurator. Pick a heavier ATM and the right axles, brakes and breakaway system come with it.
- The problemQuotes built in WordEvery quote gets copied from the last one, prices are out of date and nobody can find the version the customer said yes to.How we fix itBranded quotes generated from the spec, with current pricing, deposit links and one-click acceptance.
- The problemBuild sheets handwrittenThe workshop reads a scribbled spec, the toolbox goes on the wrong side and the sides come out 50mm short.How we fix itBuild sheets, cutting lists and parts picks generated straight from the order. Same spec every time.
- The problemThe workshop runs on a whiteboardWhich bay has which chassis, who's welding what and what's due this week lives on a board and in the foreman's head.How we fix itA workshop board on a shop-floor screen with every trailer by stage, bay and due date.
- The problemTrailers vanish at the galvaniserChassis go out for galv or powder coat and nobody knows which ones are back or when.How we fix itOutwork tracking per trailer with sent and due dates, plus reminders when something's overdue.
- The problemAxles and lights run outHalfway through a build you're short on hubs, couplings or a light kit and it's a run to the supplier.How we fix itParts stock tied to orders, so every build reserves what it needs and low stock raises a purchase order.
- The problemCompliance chased at the endVINs, compliance plates, tare weights and approval details get hunted down in a spreadsheet the day the customer arrives.How we fix itA compliance record per trailer: VIN allocated at order, weights logged at the weighbridge and plates printed from the record.
- The problemDealers order by emailDealer orders arrive by email, text and a photo of a notepad. Then someone retypes them into the system.How we fix itA dealer portal with their pricing, yard stock, build slots and order status. No retyping.
- The problemWhen will it be ready?Customers ring weekly to ask how their trailer's going and the office walks out to the shed to check.How we fix itBuild tracking with progress updates and an automatic SMS when it's ready for pickup.
- The problemDeposits and balances chasedDeposits taken over the phone, balances forgotten and a trailer nearly goes out unpaid.How we fix itDeposits online at order, balance invoices raised on completion and a hold that stops release until it's paid.
- The problemWarranty claims on scraps of paperA bearing goes or a brake fails and nobody can find what was fitted to that trailer two years ago.How we fix itEvery trailer's spec, parts and compliance record findable by VIN, with warranty and service jobs logged against it.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole trailer yard, on one system.
These are the systems trailer makers ask us about most. Each one stands on its own and they get properly useful when they're hitched together.
Trailer configurator
Buyers spec it themselves. You get a priced lead.
An online trailer builder on your website where buyers choose the type, size, axles and extras and see the price as they go. Rules keep every combo buildable and you get a full spec instead of a vague phone call.
- Box, tandem, car carrier, plant and more
- Live pricing as options change
- Images that update with each option
- Rules for ATM, axles and brakes
- Required options added automatically
- Save and share a build by link
- Deposit online to lock in a slot
- Stock trailers shown alongside custom
- Leads straight into your inbox or CRM
- Price list updated in one place
Quotes & orders
From quote to order without retyping a thing.
Quotes come straight from the spec with your current pricing and terms. The customer accepts and pays a deposit online and the order lands in the workshop queue with everything the shed needs.
- Branded quotes from the spec
- Online acceptance and e-signature
- Deposits by card through Stripe
- Quote versions tracked
- Follow-ups on quotes gone quiet
- Balance invoices on completion
- Release held until it's paid
- Invoices into Xero or MYOB
- Trade-ins and discounts noted
- Sales pipeline by stage
Workshop & build sheets
Clean build sheets and a shed that knows what's next.
Every order becomes a build sheet, cutting list and parts pick. A workshop board shows each trailer by stage and bay so the foreman can plan the week and the office can answer the phone without walking out to the shed.
- Build sheets generated from orders
- Steel cutting lists
- Parts pick lists per build
- Workshop board on a shop-floor screen
- Stages from chassis to QC
- Bay and welder allocation
- Galv and powder coat outwork tracked
- Realistic due dates from capacity
- Photos and notes from the floor
- QC checklists on a tablet
Compliance & VIN records
Compliance written as you build, not chased at the end.
Each trailer gets its VIN at order and a compliance record that fills in as it moves through the shed. Tare weights from the weighbridge, ATM and GTM, plate details and approval references are all there when the customer turns up to collect.
- VIN allocated per trailer
- Tare, ATM and GTM recorded
- Weighbridge tickets attached
- Compliance plate details printed
- Approval references per model
- Brake and coupling specs logged
- Rego paperwork for the buyer
- Owner handover packs
- Search any trailer by VIN
- Full history for warranty claims
Dealer portal
Dealers order themselves and see where it's at.
Dealers log in to see their pricing, stock trailers and open build slots. They place orders with the same configurator rules and watch them move through the workshop, so your phone gets a bit quieter.
- Dealer logins with their own pricing
- Order with the configurator rules
- Stock trailers they can claim
- Available build slots
- Order status and expected dates
- Compliance documents to download
- Brochures and spec sheets
- Invoices and statements
- Credit limits and account holds
- Dealer sales reports
Parts & stock
Never short an axle halfway through a build.
Every order reserves the parts and steel it needs, so you can see shortages before the chassis is welded. Low stock raises purchase orders and goods received flow back into your accounts.
- Axles, hubs and bearings
- Couplings, jockey wheels and lights
- Tyres, rims and spares
- Steel lengths and offcuts
- Parts reserved per order
- Shortages flagged before builds start
- Reorder points and purchase orders
- Supplier price lists
- Works with Cin7 or Unleashed
- Cost per trailer built

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your trailer manufacturer: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time in the office, on the shed floor and at the weighbridge, then work out where orders and paperwork actually get stuck.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your models, options, pricing rules, build stages, parts, compliance records, dealers, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, like the online builder or build sheets, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it as your range grows. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things trailer manufacturers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers see the trailer as they configure it?
Yes. We can show images or simple renders that update as options change, so buyers see what they're getting before they ring.
Can the builder stop combinations that won't work?
Yes. We build your rules in, so picking a heavier ATM adds the right axles and brakes and options that don't fit that model simply aren't offered.
Can it handle our compliance records and VINs?
Yes. Each trailer gets a record with its VIN, weights, plate details and approval references, filled in as it's built and searchable later for warranty or rego questions.
Can dealers order through it?
Yes. Dealers get their own login with their pricing, stock trailers, build slots and order status.
We already use Xero, MYOB or Cin7. Do we have to switch?
No. If your accounting or stock system is doing its job we build around it and keep it in sync. If something's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Will the workshop actually use it?
That's the aim. Build sheets print the way the shed likes them and the workshop board runs on a big screen or tablet with big buttons. We design it with your foreman, not around him.
How much does a trailer manufacturing system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like an online trailer builder or build sheets can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need a new model or option added you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most trailer manufacturers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
