    Yes, for the enterprise customers we have 24/7 support.
  • How many support hours does my Virtual Sales Lab annual service license include?
    The support is unlimited, 7/7d, for annual service license holders.
  • Can we see the 3D model in augmented reality?
    All of our configurators follow the WebXR standard for augmented reality. If the internet browser on your phone or tablet supports WebXR, you should see a small white button with a cube on top of your 3D view. Clicking this button will allow you to view your structure as if it was built using the device's screen.... Most of the recent Android devices support WebXR via the Chrome browser. Currently Apple/Safari seems to be lacking WebXR support - although they have been promising to implement it for years. Their recently released Apple Vision Pro supports WebXR out of the box, no extra installs needed. For Apple devices, you can install the WebXR browser, and use those to go to our configurators.

  • What is the main difference between a Brandable and Customized configurator?
    Brandable is free to test, but you can’t put a link to it on your own website, because the e-mail is only sent to the lead and not to you. If you get a Brandable one, it will contain your own logo, redirect to own website, and you get an e-mail together whenever a lead submits his contact data. Custom configurators are exclusively built for you and your dealers and can be customized in any way you want.
  • Can the 3D configurator support multiple languages for a global customer base?
    Yes, and you can adjust the text andtest different versions for the text. Once you are happy, we validate your changes and we put them live.

    When a lead submits information, you know what your lead is looking for: the preferred design (type, colour, dimensions, material, etc.).

Combined with the fact that they have put together the design themselves (Ikea effect), this increases the likelihood they will buy.

  • What happens after I sign up with Virtual Sales Lab? How does the implementation go?
