Client Testimonies
Space Designer 3D is an interactive tool which enables everyone involved in the making of the project, be it a house, an office space or a staged event to creatively expose their vision. Starting from the end-user, one drawing becomes the place where all modifications are done, before sending it to the design office or the manufacturer. The drawing can be modified in real-time if there is a need to amend the building permit, the window size, or any other modification. We can thus forget the hundreds of 2D drawings which undeniably will get lost or wrongly transcribed when exported into yet another file format.
We have been lucky to grow alongside our clients in the past ten years. Some have been with us from the very beginning, and some we’ve been fortunate enough to start working with over the past few years. One thing they all have in common is this shared interest in new technologies, and how to use them to their advantage.
We here at Asynth firmly believe 3D modeling will become indispensable within the next few years. Customers do not want promises, they want proof. Space Designer 3D offers the guarantee that their vision will see the light of day through an interactive planner and configurator. The 3D model allows a complete view of their project through various angles and truly projects the customers into their creation.
Our clients often have very different businesses, yet Space Designer 3D adapts to each challenge and progresses thanks to them. After all, the companies we work with may not necessarily be in the same industry, but it does not mean that their goals are not similar.
We’ve found that over the course of our five interviews, some key elements seemed to be recurring, such as the acceleration of the sales process, the ease with which it is to use our tool for both clients and salespeople. We’ve noticed the appreciation from the real-time, online modifications which allows them to close sales faster than before.
So without further ado, let’s hear it from the clients themselves, the heroes that allow Space Designer 3D to grow and thrive.
3DEventDesigner
3D Event Designer is a Californian event-planning company. For 10 years, 3D Event Designer has helped businesses and individuals design and share their events online in 3D. Their goal is to transform the way events are planned, and accelerate the real estate leasing process through innovative 3D technology.
Here is their testimonial:
“We felt that the event planning industry was pretty archaic, working only with sketches and 2D floor plans, and that our clients needed 3D.
It was an idea that I had for the industry that didn’t previously exist. We wanted to create a software ourselves, reached out to other companies but it didn’t work out. That is when I found Space Designer 3D. I reached out and asked if we could adapt the software for the specific needs of the event planning industry. I told Baris and Isabelle what I had in mind, my idea about these high definition event spaces, and they said, “we can make this work”.
We have been using Space Designer 3D for almost ten years now. Our whole business is built around the software. We wanted to offer a new, innovative solution for the event planning industry, and the custom features of Space Designer 3D made it possible. It was the best investment we could have made over the years, and we have added so many additional features.
Space Designer 3D has really helped us grow our business over the last few years. We wouldn’t have a company without this software. Their team is constantly pushing the boundaries, not only for event planning, but for the whole software industry.”
Armoires Cuisines Action
Armoires Cuisines Action is a Quebec company that manufactures and designs kitchens and bathroom furniture. Founded in 1989, the company currently has 250 employees.
Armoires Cuisines Action designs, retails, manufactures, delivers and installs custom-made kitchen cabinets, vanities, cabinets, laundry rooms and walk-in closets. This requires a high degree of precision, especially with regard to the dimensions of the modules to be installed, in order to be sure that it corresponds to the space available at the customer’s premises.
The company has opened an online shop. This allows Armoires Cuisines Action’s customers to buy their modules via the Internet, without going to a store.
However, this option poses a number of problems, particularly with regard to the possible omission of elements such as handles or panels. By opting for the Space Designer 3D custom solution, Armoire Cuisine Action allows its customers to plan their kitchen via an online designer. The customer prepares his plan on the online designer, chooses the materials for the modules and then transfers the objects from the software to their shopping cart via the integration of an e-commerce platform.
“ Space Designer 3D allows the customer to visualize his project much more easily. The application also allows our kitchen designers to log on, go and see the plans made and correct them if necessary. We can now check whether a panel, handles, or countertop is missing, if everything is working.It’s a real advantage for us,” says Amélie Beaupré, merchandiser. “In online sales, it’s a considerable advantage to have an online configurator over our competitors.”
Carréneuf
Carréneuf is a real estate group that invests in innovation and customer satisfaction. To do so, Carréneuf accompanies their clients in the construction process of their home from beginning to end with different tools.
Here is their testimonial:
“Before using Space Designer 3D, we used professionals to create exterior visuals. At client meetings, we would scribble on paper to show plan changes.
Nowadays, we do almost all the customization of houses. Each project is different, because the house model has to be adapted to the constraints of the land. This morning, in an appointment, I selected a house model with my client, improved it according to his needs and adapted it on the ground. The client could immediately see what the house model he chose would look like.
Space Designer 3D is a sales support tool. It’s a real advantage over the competition. The main advantage for me is the simplicity of use for customers. The design and visualization of projects is simple and effective. We use Space Designer 3D to acquire new prospects, define their needs, accelerate the sales process, optimize appointments, and close sales.
Plans can be modified in real time, such as changing the location of a partition, without the need for a design office. In the past, changing a partition required a lot of back and forth with the designers, multiplying the number of appointments with customers before having a final version of their project. Today, you only need one appointment instead of ten.
Total immersion thanks to 3D or virtual reality seduces customers and converts them more easily.
I made a sale thanks to the virtual reality headset in just two appointments: after making contact at a trade show, the prospect came to an appointment. I changed the location of a partition wall, placed his furniture and then showed him the plan. He was immediately convinced and signed.
Before the appointment, we suggest that the client go and see our house models. This allows us to understand his desires, tastes, budget, even before meeting him. It helps in the pre-qualification of prospects and saves a lot of time in appointments. They tell us “I liked this model” and we start from there to find a solution adapted to their needs.
I am satisfied with Space Designer, I find it very useful. Today, I make 70% to 80% of my sales with Space Designer 3D”.
MMC Groupe
MMC is a single-family home builder. The 3D configurator used by one of their sites, maison olmière, allows their customers to obtain.
Here is their testimonial:
“We found the software easy to use, compared to others. The team is flexible in development, which gives us flexibility on what we want to improve and add or modify. We were looking for a 3D configurator, and it was essential for us that it be a turnkey tool.
We need our customers to not leave our site when configuring their homes. During lockdown, we decided to push our digital marketing with ad-words, social network displays. At the same time we had just installed Space Designer 3D, and the acceleration curve almost doubled.
We noticed that there were about three profiles on our site: prospects who come to play with the configurator, geeks who see the interest of the tool and draw intricate houses, and current prospects, who might want to buy their house.
The advantages of Space Designer 3D, very clearly is the gain of contact. We opened a contact channel and that was our priority. In terms of competition, we also have an advantage, because there aren’t many construction companies doing 3D, so we’re at the front of the wave.”
Westlab
Westlab is a manufacturer and importer of laboratory equipment and consumables. Since 1993, Westlab have been dedicated to the science and laboratory industry through an innovative range of high quality laboratory products.
Here is their testimonial:
“We had had other tools before, which weren’t well utilized. We think that Space Designer 3D is a very effective way to show our customers what they’ll be getting in the end. On our website, there’s a picture of an actual lab and then there is a slide-across bar with the 3D model, and it’s really cool.
I had a meeting today, and we can draw on-screen with them the design, it gives it a whoa factor. We used to do out-sourced drawings for our clients before, and they were very basic. This is much better, it allows to link it with inventory which makes the coordination process a lot easier.
It’s really been an advantage, and we don’t want our competitors to copy us, because in comparison to drawing on a page, it’s much better visually. Clients are way more involved, they can visually engage with the design.
Now, for custom projects, 98% of our projects go through Space Designer 3D. Before, our conversion rate was at 10%, and this year it is currently at 22%. We think it is due to a number of upgrades to our process, including our 3D planner.”
