Gone are the days of juggling multiple appointments and enduring lengthy delays when trying to renovate a kitchen or buy furniture. Today I am delighted to introduce a groundbreaking innovation that will revolutionise in-house interior design services for furniture and home renovation retailers. The game-changing 3D Cloud Room Scanner is engineered to reduce waiting and transform the retail experience. This cutting-edge solution tackles a major industry challenge by accurately measuring interior spaces and seamlessly converting them into stunning floorplans furnished with buyable products.
Back in 2018 when we started working with a major UK home renovations retailer on innovating the kitchen buying experience, one thing became clear. Customers were deeply frustrated with the process of buying a kitchen. The same was true for the furniture-buying process. Buying a kitchen renovation or a new living room set should be exciting.
People spend upwards of 750 hours a year in their kitchens and more in their lounge spaces. The kitchen is the most complex and expensive room in a house to renovate, and most people will only renovate a kitchen once or twice in their lives. It can be a reflection of the values, lifestyle, and personality of the homeowner. It should by all accounts be a joyful and exciting experience to renovate a kitchen. Why was it so painful?
After conducting dozens of customer and employee interviews, it became clear. First, it was difficult for customers to visualise these purchases with seemingly endless options. They need smart tools for narrowing down their choices.
Also, while some people have evolved visual imaginations and can see in their minds what a new furniture set or kitchen will look like based on 2D pictures, most of us can’t. Even creative people need visualisation tools to give them confidence in their choices. Even when it confirms what we already know, visualisaiton is also useful for collaborating and communicating with loved ones and design professionals.
The second piece is a little more complicated. In the fast-paced world of retail, waiting has become the enemy. Customers yearn for a seamless and efficient shopping experience, free from the shackles of endless delays and frustrating appointments.
Since then, we’ve worked with some of the world’s foremost retailers and manufacturers of furniture and home renovations, and these two issues — visualisation and project drag — have been constants. If one thing is true across cultures and markets, it’s that nobody likes waiting.
That’s why we’ve made it our mission to simplify the process of buying large-scale, semi-custom products like sofas, beds, and kitchens full of cabinets. With the 3D Cloud Room Scanner, retailers can accomplish more in less time. Designers, sales associates, or even consumers themselves can capture precise floorplan measurements effortlessly, design 3D projects, generate complete product lists, and close the transaction—all in one seamless process. And that’s just the beginning.
The advantages of 3D Cloud Room Scanner are nothing short of revolutionary. Experience a simplified and precise measurement system that eradicates costly errors. Seamlessly integrate your floorplan scans into our comprehensive suite of interior design applications, including the 3D Cloud Kitchen Designer, 3D Cloud Office Planner, 3D Cloud Bathroom Designer, and 3D Cloud Room Planner.
The wait is finally over, and we’re excited to offer early access to the 3D Cloud Room Scanner to select enterprise retailers. Participants will be at the forefront of in-house interior design services, unlocking new levels of efficiency and creativity. Request your invitation today and secure your spot.
So, what are you waiting for? Join us in this exciting journey and let the 3D Cloud Room Scanner take your interior design experience to new heights. Say goodbye to waiting and hello to a world of endless possibilities.
