Discovery phase

Equipment customizer

The customizer software allows users to configure and design a virtual representation of the necessary equipment like stoves and fridges to their exact specifications and preferences. This includes adjusting the size, color, and materials of the equipment as well as changing other functional and aesthetic aspects.

With the help of a customizer, clients can visualize their ideas and make changes until they are satisfied with the design. The end goal of this feature is for the user to have a clear understanding of what their custom equipment would look like and how it would fit into the kitchen before making a purchase.

Challenges and Solutions

The speed of image customizing

During the process of customizing, the preview images have to change according to the criteria chosen by the user. All the changes must happen as quickly as possible for the user’s convenience. However, the number of colors, styles, and possible configurations is immense, so we needed to make sure such a volume of content won’t affect the customizer’s speed. 

We spent a lot of time researching and fixing the issue with speed, so now the customizer quickly loads the necessary images.  

Price management

Prices for equipment change from time to time, so we must be very careful to ensure that the prices on the site match the actual prices.

We provide constant website maintenance service to ensure all the content stays up to date.
