The context

Where things started

Sales depended on printed catalogues, trade fairs and product photos forwarded on WhatsApp. Buyers struggled to compare finishes and the sales team repeated the same answers daily.

The challenge

  • Product information scattered across PDFs and chats
  • Inconsistent photos that made stone look different from reality
  • Unstructured enquiries that took time to qualify

Our approach

How we tackled it

  1. 1

    Weeks 1–3

    Product data model

    Organised every stone by colour, finish, origin and application.

  2. 2

    Weeks 3–5

    Swatch photography

    Colour-accurate photography under consistent light, with close-ups and installed examples.

  3. 3

    Weeks 5–12

    Catalogue build

    Filters, comparison and an enquiry basket that sends a structured request to sales.

  4. 4

    Weeks 12–14

    Training & launch

    Trained the team to add products and shared the catalogue with existing buyers.

The solution

“Buyers now browse and shortlist on their own, then send one structured enquiry. The sales team spends less time sending photos and more time on qualified conversations.”
