PST Managing Director Neil Travers explains : “ As an advanced point of sale tool , vsHome allows installers to design and bring their customers ’ ideas to life using drag and drop tools within the integrated 3D editor .
“ A unique visualisation tool can then be used to fit models onto a photo background , producing a real-life representation of the finished product .
“ This can then be taken a step further with vsHome AR , the innovative companion app to vsHome , that allows installers to share their designs directly to their customer ’ s phone or tablet so they can explore their potential purchase using advanced AR technology .
“ Installers then have the option to add pricing and calculate the cost of each job , incorporating finance tools , discounts , markups and custom payment schedules , while also benefitting from the integrated reporting suite which can export branded sales and survey reports at the touch of a button .
“ The software can be tailored to individual installers and the products they offer – installers can also incorporate their own logo and branding , as well as their own pricing model .
