View22 & Planit Announce Best-of-Breed 3D Design Solution for Home Product Retailers in Multi-Store Environments
TORONTO, Canada and ASHFORD, England, September 27 /PRNewswire/ -- View22 Technology Inc. ("View22") a leading provider of 3D Web commerce
solutions, and Planit, a leading developer of design and manufacturing
software, today announced plans to collaborate in offering a best-of-breed
3D design solution for home product retailers in multi-store environments.
The effort provides immediate benefits to retailers in the kitchen, bath
and other home product markets that want to offer customers a seamless
approach to plan, design and shop on the web, at a kiosk and/or with an
in-store design consultant. The combination of View22's Immersiv 3D Web
platform and Planit's Fusion software, allows consumers to explore options
and create designs from their home computer or in-store kiosk, then order
online or save the project, book an appointment with a sales consultant at
the store and optimize the design before placing an order in person.
This start-to-finish process promises to decrease the bottleneck and
expense of design consultations and increase buyer conversion rates. A Planit
spokesperson said, "We are very pleased to be able to work with View22 to
enhance the value of our Planit Fusion solution. We're now the first to
offer a truly complete multi-store solution with a very impressive, visually
rich 3D Web experience for both our customers and the end-consumer."
View22's Immersiv 3D Web platform lets customers use all popular 3D file
formats including: 3D Studio Max, SketchUp!, DWF, DXF, OBJ, and IGES. This
open design allows companies to leverage and re-deploy existing 3D digital
assets. By integrating Immersiv with Planit Fusion, driven by one catalogue
with file compatibility for geometry data exchange, View22 and Planit have
dramatically shortened the time to implement this best-of-breed solution in
multi-store environments.
"This relationship is consistent with our strategy to enable market
leading partners to enhance the value delivered to their customers through
our Immersiv platform," said Amnon Zohar, View22's CEO and President, Europe.
"Planit's leadership in the kitchen, bath, stone and woodworking markets and
View22's proven success in user-friendly, high-quality 3D Web solutions make
this a win-win scenario for both companies and our customers."
