and it certainly has its plus points, for consumer and retailer alike, it has also bred a nation of impatience. This goes far beyond getting our groceries delivered or downloading a soundtrack we like. It applies very much to the kbb industry too.

process takes time. What kbb retailers need is t he technology to be able to respond to a customer’s requirements quickly and comprehensively. Being presentation ready with a customer’s designs at any time not only relieves stress for you, particularly should you find yourself handling multiple designs almost simultaneously, it also reduces the risk of your customer going elsewhere. Generating renders is often one of the most
time-consuming parts of the design process and there’s little more frustrating than having to start over again to make small changes along the way. What customers in 2022 really want, and what kbb retailers can really capitalise on, is having the technology available to make such changes on the fly, before presenting the design in real-time rendering or virtual reality immediately. In society’s drive for efficiency and convenience economy, it’s all part of the modern consumer experience.
