Software & Technology

Customer Visualisation Transformation

» PRODUCTION Software Technology’ s vsHome software is designed to help home improvement retailers improve the way they design, visualise and present projects to customers. By combining realistic 3D visuals, clear reporting and an easy to use interface, vsHome enables sales teams to communicate designs and expectations from the first appointment.
Emerald Home Improvements, a well-established installer operating across Derby, Leicester and Belfast, adopted vsHome to overcome challenges they faced with customer visualisation. Prior to using the software, the team relied on static templates created using Paint and Word,
which made it difficult to show customers what finished projects such as conservatories would look like. The process was time consuming and limited flexibility during appointments.
Emerald was introduced to PST through a supplier already using one of PST’ s other software platforms, VS. After exploring vsHome, they quickly saw its potential to improve both their sales process and overall customer experience with the onboarding and setup process being described as“ really smooth and informative”. The free 14-day trial gave Emerald confidence in using vsHome and PST’ s support team were readily available to provide guidance and answer questions.
A key benefit of using vsHome for Emerald has been the ability to produce realistic 3D visuals and create reports. Reflecting on the impact of the software, Nick Marsden at Emerald commented that vsHome has“ very much” changed the way the business operates. He went on to explain:“ Being able to show and edit jobs whilst with a customer means both myself and the customer know exactly what to expect”. Emerald also utilises VisiRoom which
further enhances engagement and confidence in a customers purchasing decisions. vsHome’ s ease of use, combined with PST’ s responsive customer support has also contributed to Emerald’ s positive experience. Any issues are resolved quickly and as familiarity with the software has grown, the need for ongoing support has naturally reduced allowing the team to focus more on their customers.

WEBSITE STRENGTHENS MARKET PRESENCE

» HÖRMANN TRUEDOR IS CELEbrating the success of its updated website which was introduced in February 2025. Showcasing its complete range of composite doors, the site has delivered extraordinary growth in both visitor numbers and high-quality lead generation since going live, helping to reinforce the brand’ s strong and growing presence within the residential door market.
Building on this momentum, the company is continuing to enhance the platform with additional consumer-focused resources. The latest addition is the new Door Knowledge Centre, designed to offer homeowners clear, authoritative guidance when choosing the right door for their property. The Knowledge Centre breaks down the key differences in materials, security features, energy ratings and cost considerations, enabling customers to make confident, well-informed decisions. This is complemented by an expanded News section, which delivers the most up-to-date information on company activity and product developments.
The website delivers a clean, modern aesthetic with vibrant imagery, which guides visitors through Hörmann Truedor’ s extensive range. It offers an intuitive user journey that not only features the wide variety of styles and designs available but also introduces the Hörmann brand and its commitment to sustainability. The Hörmann Truedor collection features six ranges, each named after a Welsh river to reflect the natural beauty and heritage surrounding our manufacturing base. Together, they offer 43 distinctive door styles.
Specialist options such as the Clima-63 thermally efficient door, the Platinum 44 steel door and the Draig30 30-minute fire door are also highlighted, bringing the entire product portfolio together in one comprehensive online hub.
To further support homeowners during their selection process, the site features an easy-to-use door configurator that guides users step-by-step through the available choices, enabling them to design and visualise their ideal door with ease and confidence. With additional developments already underway and more planned for later this year, 2026 is set to be an exciting and transformative period for the Hörmann Truedor brand as it continues to build on its strong growth trajectory in the composite door sector.
