Modified vs. Custom Solutions: Get Exactly What You Need
At Pucel Enterprises, we understand that one size rarely fits all. That’s why we offer
both modified and custom solutions to meet the unique needs of your facility. While both
approaches provide tailored functionality, modified solutions typically offer a quicker and
more cost-effective way to achieve your goals.
What Is a Modified Product?
A modified solution begins with one of our standard products, such as a cabinet,
shelving unit, or workbench, and adapts it to your specific requirements. Common
modifications include:
- Adding drawers, pegboards, or power outlets to a cabinet
- Adjusting the width of a shelving unit to fit a tight or irregular space
- Integrating standard components, like louvered panels or perforated shelves, to
address storage and organization challenges
Since these modifications are based on existing Pucel products, they do not require full
engineering design or prototyping, which results in significant time and cost savings.
Why Choose a Modified Solution?
1. Faster Turnaround - Lead times for modified products are typically just 1–2 weeks longer than standard
products, making them much quicker than the additional time needed for full custom
builds.
2. Lower Cost - Modified solutions are more economical because they utilize existing parts and designs.
In many cases, a modification may only slightly increase the cost of a standard product.
3. Tailored to Your Workflow - You receive the exact features you need without the expense of a full custom build.
Whether you require power strips for tech tools, additional drawers for 5S organization,
or specific size adjustments, modifications provide the precision necessary for your
individual needs.
When Custom Solutions Are Necessary
There are situations where a custom solution is the best or only option, typically when a
client presents a sketch or concept that falls outside of our standard product line. Such
requests require full design work, CAD modeling, and often a discovery phase to understand
the process and environment. The images below are examples of past custom work:
However, when you can start from an existing product we offer, a modified solution is
often the smarter choice. See the modified workbench and table below:
The Bottom Line
If you need a product tailored to your space or workflow, a modified
standard product from Pucel is likely to meet your needs.
