ONE PIECE OF SOFTWARE ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTS

Are you tired of having to use numerous different types of software to make a sale ? The vsHome … a 3D design , visualisation and sales software solution that supports any mix of a wide range of products to give that conclusive sale price is available NOW directly from PST Ltd .
In addition to our existing traditional glass roof , solid roof and orangery models , we also offer a range of highly customisable garden room models . In addition there is an extensive range of standalone window and door models including casement , tilt & turn , vertical sliders , patio and bi-folding doors as well as residential composite doors .
Offering your customers this wide range of products would normally mean having to fork out the cost for numerous pieces of software in order to be able to provide
your clients with a design and quotation on the day . Not to mention having to learn how to operate each type of software and then the headache of having to start all over again each time you want to change your supplier . Plus , not having a single quote or order report to leave with your customer .
Our vsHome software can resolve all of these issues by offering you an all-in-one solution that not only includes a wide range of products but also provides generic models that can be customised to suit any product or system . In addition , the vsHome software will
also allow you to create and edit any number of highly customisable window data sets , controlling options such as profile sizes , frame and glazing deductions , hardware and reinforcing specification as well as pricing . All of which means if you need to switch supplier you can simply re-configure your models and window data sets to suit and continue using the software you know and love .
Our residential composite door models are easy to use and very quick to configure with a number of user-friendly multiple-choice menus that allow you to change
both the style and colour of your door and door handle as well as options to alter the type of threshold and add either a door knocker or letter box . You can use our visualisation tool to superimpose your new door model onto a photo of your client ’ s house and give them a real feel for how the end result is going to look .
Finally add extra costings to your models using the survey data which
can be customised to cover absolutely any eventuality such as site clearance and skip hire to ground works and even fitting costs etc .

VIRTUAL HOME BRINGS TOUCH VENDOR DESIGNS TO LIFE

The TOUCH Vendor lead generation and quoting software from the Business Micros Group has just got even better . The development team has added a brand-new interactive visualiser tool , which makes it easy for homeowners to see exactly how the windows and doors they have chosen will look in their property .
Branded Virtual Home , it does what most other visualisers on the market don ’ t do and allows users to see their window and door choices on every façade of the property and view them from the inside as well as out .
It works just as well in quote and survey mode , when installers are using TOUCH Vendor to sell either remotely or face to face , as it does in lead generation mode , when homeowners are creating their own designs via the lead generation tool on the installer ’ s website . It obviously adds an exciting new dimension to the TOUCH Vendor software , edging customers closer towards making an enquiry or placing an order , with a realistic picture of how their finished home could actually look .
Doors and windows processed using the TOUCH Vendor design tool can be superimposed onto any house image and manually positioned to get a really accurate result . Users can change the style and
colour as many times as they like and try out different looks before they buy .
The Virtual Home feature pops up automatically as soon as the Vendor user has added their chosen windows and doors to their virtual basket . They can upload as many images of the property as they like and see how the products will look from
the kerbside or the garden or even from the inside looking out .
In quote and survey mode , the Virtual Home feature automatically adds a PDF of the finished design to the quote , alongside the product details and price ready to send to the customer . In lead generation mode , it adds the PDF to the enquiry acknowledgement
that the customer receives and to the enquiry notification sent to the installer . All the installer has to do then is check the product choices and provide a price .
Paul Callaghan , Director of Business Micros Group company The Consultancy , which created Virtual Home in partnership with the Business Micros software development team , said : “ We looked at the limitations of other visualisers on the market and used our experience and expertise to do something better . TOUCH Vendor users can view their property from front and back and from inside and out and chop and change their design choices to see exactly what works best from different angles .
“ We ’ re confident that it will really help customers to complete more sales , with a really slick , efficient and professional looking offering – all the way from enquiry to order .”
