Andersen Windows

Andersen Windows needed a partner to close a critical gap: engineers in the field had no mobile tool to instantly calculate wind pressure for tall buildings. Slow, manual processes delayed quotes and risked accuracy. They turned to CCG to build a fast, reliable solution that delivered instant data and a competitive edge.

The Challenge

Engineers Without the Tools to Keep Pace

Engineers working on tall buildings lacked a mobile, location-specific tool to instantly calculate wind pressure requirements. Without it, quotes were delayed, accuracy was compromised, and customer confidence suffered. These gaps slowed productivity, weakened satisfaction, and risked lost business opportunities — especially in a field where precision and speed are critical.

The Transformation

From Research to Real-World Readiness

Andersen Windows partnered with CCG to close this gap. Collaborating with international building code expert Eric Stafford and key Andersen stakeholders, we set out to design a tool that would give engineers instant, reliable access to site-specific wind pressure data. The team combined research, prototyping, and real-world testing to ensure accuracy, usability, and scalability.

  • Diagrams & Wireframes clarified workflows and user journeys.
  • Interactive Figma Prototype enabled realistic testing and validation of user interactions.
  • Agile Development paired one designer and one developer in close collaboration, incorporating immediate feedback from field engineers.

This transformation aligned engineering expertise with digital innovation, laying the foundation for a tool built specifically for on-site performance.

The Solution

A Mobile App Built for Precision and Speed

The outcome was a progressive web application tailored to the needs of engineers in the field — fast, reliable, and always accessible.

  • Geolocation Integration: Delivers precise wind pressure calculations based on location.
  • Persistent Storage: Saves addresses and calculations for quick retrieval.
  • Offline Functionality: Smart caching ensures access even without connectivity.
  • Seamless Sharing: Allows teams to distribute calculations and documentation instantly.

This solution brought accuracy and efficiency directly to the job site, enabling engineers to make confident, data-driven decisions in real time.
