Overview
Joseph Hofer from AlumaReel Canada reached out to Profuzion Studio, with a vision of not only wanting a newly updated and exciting website, but also tasking us to create an interactive website featuring a 3D Configurator, that let visitors interact with each of their products and allow visitors to create the 3D interactive welding setup of their dreams on the back of a pickup truck. At the end of the build, the user could send in their build for a free estimate.
Challenge
AlumaReel’s logo wasn’t enough to draw in customers, and keep them interested in the business from a surface standpoint.
AlumaReel’s 3D models they had for their products were too detailed for web use, and very dense for manufacturing.
Product compatibility & organization was going to be an issue, as AlumaReel’s products are compatible only in a specific order, for them to work together. AlumaReel could only estimate the setup the customer desired, if the customer could take what they saw and put their desired setup together on the back of a pickup truck.
The 3D platform needed to be compatible with Apple & PC desktops, laptops, ipads, and tablets, as well as ios (Apple), and Android smartphones. And be able to adapt to any size screen.
Results
A brand identity for AlumaReel® was created to help establish depth, interest, and be memorable to the visitor, by turning the business into a brand.
Profuzion Studio used 3 different 3D platforms, in order to optimize AlumaReel’s 3D product models, to get them to the desired look and optimization needed for the website.
Profuzion Studio organized the product compatibilty and flow of the 3D Configurator in Miro, so we’d have a visual workflow, for my team and I to understand it, ongoing.
Along with the Compatiblilty Build (ISO Build), a Parts Build was also created, to allow the user to add and take away parts that without condition, to allow user freedom of choice in parts.
The 3D Configurators – ISO Build & Parts are compatible with the latest Apple, PC, and Android browsers.
Future
AlumaReel® went from not just being a company, but has became a brand. Now having a steady 200% uptick in Product Build Estimates thanks to the ISO and Parts Build Configurators.
AlumaReel® is now able to use their brand identity in other parts of their company marketing as well to keep the brand looking consisten. As of now, their brand assets have been utilized on other front facing customer communication, such as their Brochure, Social Media Profiles, and other outfacing brand communication.
” We approached Profuzion Studio with the vision of not only producing a newly updated and exciting website for us, but also tasking him to create interactivity that let visitors interact with each of our products and would allow them to create the 3D interactive welding setup of their dreams. Profuzion Studio took into account the compatibility scrutiny with how our products worked together and organized it in a way that Lowell and his team could categorize it for ongoing use with our products. Profuzion Studio not only exceeded what we were hoping to experience with our new interactive website, but also created a complementing brand identity for us on our website that fits our logo and our business perfectly. This allowed us to use the same styling on our Brochure and other company material as well, creating a consistent Brand experience. Thank you Profuzion Studio for all your expertise and all that you continue to do for AlumaReel! ”
