Vision Pro Application for Kitchen Cabinets Company
Featured Clients
Client Overview
In this case, our client is a prominent company dealing in the manufacturing of kitchen cabinets who asked for strategies that would make customers order more. They alighted on the possibilities of using augmented reality (AR) and Vision Pro to assist customers in seeing how certain types of cabinet design will look in their homes, thus closing the gap between the imaginary and the real worlds.
The project aimed to create an immersive Vision Pro application with the following goals:
- Facilitate the ability to preview the shape and style of the cabinet to the customers while positioning it in their kitchens.
- It must offer style, material, colour, and finish choices.
- Make it easier for the sales professionals to sell.
- Increase its customer confidence and customer satisfaction.
The traditional process of selling kitchen cabinets posed several challenges
- Limited Customer Imagination: Currently, customers had a lot of challenges in trying to organize themselves in a way that they could see how the cabinets were going to look when installed in their homes.
- Lengthy Sales Cycles: Changes caused by design fog contributed to the postponing of decision-making.
- Competitive Market: It was the time to stand out from the rest in the industry.
App Development
- The application was designed and built with Vision Pro’s augmented reality in mind while keeping the user interface as simple as possible. Key features included
- Room Scanning: Customers could simply use Vision Pro to capture the kitchen space in which the cabinets are to be placed.
- Cabinet Library: All the different kinds of cabinets were cataloged, and different styles and finishes were also incorporated.
- Customization Tools: Consumers could even set it by size and the type of material they want it to be made of.
Real-Time Visualization
- Using augmented reality within the scanned kitchen environment, the app was able to overlay cabinet designs. The customers could also move around within these virtual cabinets and turn them around to access other aspects and try out different orientations.
Faster Sales Cycles
- Visualization helped minimize consultation by cutting across it by 30% and thus improving the rate of decision-making.
- The interesting result was beneficial for the client as it helped to leverage the sales by 25% within the first six months of using it.
Challenges
- High Training Costs: The traditional training methods implemented the use of physical equipment in training, hence implicating expounding costs and resource limitations.
- Safety Concerns: The use of on-the-job training also had some challenges, in particular for new employees.
Results and Impact
Reduced training costs
Reduced the need to afford equipment setups, which in turn reduced the amount that was spent on training to 40%.
Improved Safety
Skills were therefore learned in controlled environments and only adopted to practicing reality operations, which are real.
Consistent learning outcomes
Site-specific training was eliminated by the use of this platform, thus making the training efficient and scalable.
