The future of glazing

» INNOVATION TAKES PRECEDENCE AT Production Software Technology ( PST ), and its dedication to revolutionising the glazing and home improvement industry has been recognised with a coveted shortlist in this year ’ s GGP Installer Awards .
Nominated for ‘ Best Technical Innovation ’ for their groundbreaking vsHome AR app , PST is poised to rewrite the rulebook on customer engagement and sales optimisation . vsHome AR isn ’ t just another pretty visualisation tool – this game-changer enhances the customer experience to a whole new level by harnessing the power of augmented reality .
The app seamlessly integrates with vsHome , PST ’ s advanced sales platform designed specifically for installers , creating a powerful combination that allows installers to effortlessly share product designs directly onto their customer ’ s phone or tablet .
Customers can then use augmented reality to virtually visualise their potential purchase within the context of their own home , fostering informed decision-making and boosting confidence .
Installers can also use the app to showcase a variety of design options , effortlessly adjust configurations , and present accurate quotations , all within the immersive augmented reality environment .
“ vsHome AR redefines what it means to connect with customers ,” comments Neil Travers , PST ’ s Managing Director . “ Gone are the days of static brochures and hand-drawn sketches – by immersing customers in their future space , we foster a level of confidence and excitement that traditional methods simply can ’ t match .”
But vsHome AR is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to PST ’ s innovative spirit .
Beyond vsHome , the company boasts a suite of software solutions tailored to every facet of the glazing industry .
Virtual Shopfloor , for example , caters to fabricators , providing them with an efficient platform for optimising production and minimising waste .
Neil concludes : “ The GGP Installer Awards shortlist is a testament to PST ’ s unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining best practices . By harnessing cutting-edge technology and prioritising customer experience , we ’ re not only ensuring a brighter future for the glazing industry , but also paving the way for a more immersive and satisfying future for homeowners .”
