How to save time and money making bespoke furniture

#MVP #Onlineplatform #furniuture #configurator #React.js #PHP

Some time ago our client from bespoke furniture industry came up with an idea of creating tool that would help him communicate with his customers. It proved that travelling to clients' homes, taking measures, creating initial designs (that are free of charge) is a major cost when working in this industry. Together, we created a robust visual configurator allowing customers to create the first design themselves, getting a fairly adequate cost estimate.

See it live on bespoki.co.uk and app.bespoki.co.uk

 

Project goal

The main goal of creating this application was to provide end-user (furniture buyers in this case) with the possibility of getting their bespoke furniture price estimation in an automated, quick and easy way, without engaging our client's sales staff. This would greatly increase the sales process effectiveness as the client would know the price estimate from the beginning and would provide the manufacturer with the idea how the desired piece of furniture would look like.

2D over 3D

We're a Mixed Reality company and the most obvious way to go was to create some 3-dimensional models with customisation capabilities. However, we dropped this idea very quickly as it would needlessly overcompicate the whole project. The idea was to configure a wardrobe basically and we figured that 2d approach would give us some extra flexibility. In the end, most of the furnitre artwork was being rendered using HTML elements. The app is working pretty fast as is very easy to use. 

Future plans

Bespoki is currenlty a MVP product. Future development will most likely include implementing new furniture design ranges as well as taking other manufacturers on board.

Working with Dyfuzja is quite productive. Together we refined a rough idea into a great-looking design, interactions and overall user experience.

Will a team overseas understand what is the real purpose of my project?

Say you want to develop your project, but you still have not found a development team that you could trust. There's a lot of software, VR and AR agencies out there. Each has different skills, experience, work culture, and of course–a different location. The fact that they are somewhere on the other side of the Ural, next to the Chinese Sea or somewhere near the Crimea raises your fears. You think: "This guy works in an office in Ho Chi Minh. Will he be able to understand what my goal is and what are the nuances of running my venture?"
