Beta catalogues improves access to Virtual Worlds products
The latest products from kitchen and bathroom manufacturers are being uploaded to Virtual Worlds faster than ever before, thanks to a new Beta catalogues program launched to improve the process. Virtual Worlds has increased
the size of its modelling and cataloguing teams, including the recruitment of seven new team members, to get products on to the system faster. The improved process adds a newly developed ‘rule-based’ quality control system to deliver a faster turnaround before the catalogue is released in beta format, resulting in quicker access to new products for Virtual Worlds users. Retailers can opt-in to the Beta
catalogues program simply by updating their download settings and are encouraged to report any issues they find so they can be addressed before the full catalogue release, improving the service overall for all Virtual Worlds customers.
“We are aware of how
important it is to have the latest manufacturer products available within Virtual Worlds,” comments Managing Director Nathan Maclean. “We have been working on ways to get updates to our customers more quickly, including investing in staff infrastructure, to make the process faster. Once we are happy that the catalogue process is robust, the beta program will be shut down and transitioned as our new standard in releasing better quality catalogues within a shorter timeframe.” For more information on Virtual Worlds call or visit the website.
