Background
The privately-owned company, Configura Sverige AB, was founded in Linköping, Sweden 1990 by Sune Rydqvist, Göran Rydqvist and Johan Lyreborn. Sune Rydqvist had been facing calculation problems during his whole career within the interior fittings and construction industry. Johan Lyreborn and Göran Rydqvist had graduated with Master of Engineering degrees in Computer Technology from the Linköping Institute of Technology. During their postgraduate studies their research had developed new possibilities to enable the creation of advanced software applications. Together, the three of them agreed to develop and market a new software application to become a planning tool for configurable products.

Today, Configura has clients such as Haworth Inc., Borroughs Corporation, Spacesaver Corp., DeLaval International AB and more.

The Configura group reached $7 million in annual revenue in 2006.

Products
Configura develops three main products: Configura, Instant Planner and CET Designer. All Configura software covers a wide range of functionalities serving a single purpose — to make it quick and easy to quote a configurable product. One of the software’s most important features is the ability to configure products and calculate the correct price.
In 2001, Ridg-U-Rak, a manufacturer of storage racks, signed a contract to implement Configura.
