What Problems did Ferrum Decor face?
Ferrum Decor faced a significant challenge in bridging the gap between physical shopping experiences and online e-commerce shopping.
The customers were unable to choose items as they could not visualize the products in a real-world environment.
This led to difficulties in accurately representing products to customers, resulting in reduced sales and decreased customer satisfaction.
Additionally, they wanted a mobile login process by which a customer can simply log in using their phone number on their platform.
They needed to introduce a method by which their customer could have an immersive shopping experience and for that, they opted to use WebAR Technology.
Their team connected with Webkul via the UVdesk system, and they understood their issues and their requirements.
In this case study we will know how Ferrum Decor enhanced its platform with Webkul solutions.
