About

We love to solve digital puzzles. Every project demands an openminded approach, a healthy dose of creativity and the willingness to abandon old ideas. We received an interesting challenge when we first sat at the table with a company, Arti70, specialized in designing and building all type of stands for conventions and fairs. Quickly we learned that this whole process was a multi-facet endeavour, with different players and a lot of complications. Challenge accepted! Designing and building a stand is a difficult and costly affair. A fair or convention is a great opportunity to meet with potential customers, influential figures within the industry and to present your company in the best way possible. It is your organisation, compressed into the small confines of the stand. You want to make sure that the image of your company, is reflected in a proper manner.

Visual

The IBC (International Broadcast Convention), where Arti70 was involved in for example, welcomes the world’s leading broadcasters, content creators, equipment manufacturers, professional and technical associations in the entertainment and technology industry. Think of companies like Canon, Dolby, AWS, Microsoft, Adobe and Google. With over 55.000 attendees from all over the world, it is considered one of the most important conventions in this field. The logistical complexity of such an event is mind-blowing. From the delivery of all the interior, to the placement of outlets. So much to arrange and communicate.

Steps

Concept

Previously, a company with a stand at the IBC had to go through endless lists and thick catalogues with products and interior objects. A forest of tables, chairs, cupboards, tv screens, lamps, accessories, even plants and flowers, you name it. This client would make a selection, with nothing more than a vague idea of how it would turn out.

Design

Is there enough space for the furniture? How does the end result look? The visual component was missing. Yes, you know how the item would look like individually, from a picture. But how would that object look in the limited space of the stand, together with the other items? Wouldn’t you want to know how it all fits together on forehand?

Building

The tricky part was that the end result would only be known right before the start of the event. This meant that there was little to no room for error. In case you ordered too little, your stand would look empty and not inviting. When you ordered too much, you would waste a lot of money and did not have the stand you desired. When an item doesn’t fit it with the projected style, tough luck.

Concept

There simply was not enough time to correct the situation. From the perspective of the company providing the products, designing the stand and building it, the process was everything but streamlined. The way they offer the items, was just not very appealing. Massive catalogues with individual products. In case there were 3d models from the products, a lot of mistakes like scaling and colour.

Design

The logistic side was a nightmare since the items were coming from different providers. Everything had to be registered manually and communicated with the company managing the location. The communication of information was inefficient and prone to mistakes. This whole process was screaming for a better solution.

Building

The key questions we focussed on: - How can we help clients design and visualize their dream stand? - How can we optimize sales for the providers? - How can we streamline operations between the different parties? The answer to all these questions: 3d configurator Is it that simple? Yes, but simple doesn’t mean easy. We have poured our heart and soul (and brain) into this solution.

05

Yes,

We brought the stand to life even before the convention started. We have built in a limiter meaning that you can never order more items than can physically fit in your stand. The digital stand is your shopping cart so products are immediately added to the order. What you see, is what you get. A big plus for the stand builders is that the 3d configurator results in an increase of sales. The visual understanding means that the clients order more items because they see the end result and can design it exactly the way they have in mind. And because the previous stands and all the ordered items are kept in the database, it is easy to make a good follow up. As a stand builder, you can offer deals based on a client’s history, personalized and customized. Due to timely orders, it is possible to purchase in bulk and to offer package deals and targeted sales to your clients.

Making our 3d configurator the perfect tool to boost your marketing.

During the order process, the stream of information is centralized so it becomes a lot easier for all parties involved to follow the status and execute. This process is more transparent and easier to control. It prevents errors and improves communication. The system is built for international usage due to different resolution options.

The 3d configurator can be used with low, medium and high resolution. It runs smoothly even with bad internet and low graphic power. To sum it all up, a centralized and transparent information stream improves efficiency and eliminates errors. The visual aspect that the 3d configurator brings to the order process improves sales and optimizes the end result. Everything that takes place in a space, can be improved with 3d configurator. Seeing is believing!

3D Configurator

Main feature of the IBC-page is the 3D configurator. The configurator contains so many objects that an endless variety of stand-configurations can be made; from a very simple one to a very complex one containing many objects.

Project Library

The configurator contains a large number of objects. You can choose from a large variety of chairs, storage rooms, carpets and many other categories. . All objects are presented as 3D-objects and can be placed directly in the configurator The user can simply drag and drop the object directly in the configurator. Once in the configurator, the object can be moved and rotated to match clients wishes.
