When you think of 3D Boats’ Digital Sales Room and 3D Viewer, your mind probably jumps straight to dazzling potential buyers with interactive boat tours and streamlining the sales process. And you’d be right – they excel at that! But what if I told you these powerful tools hold a treasure trove of untapped potential, extending far beyond initial sales?
In today’s dynamic marine industry, innovation is key. Our 3D solutions are proving to be incredibly versatile, finding unexpected and invaluable applications that can transform various aspects of your business. Let’s dive into some of the most surprising and impactful ways our clients are leveraging these technologies.
1. Revolutionizing Training: From Deckhand to Dealership Staff
Imagine a world where new employees can explore every nook and cranny of a vessel before even stepping foot on it. Our 3D Viewer makes this a reality.
- Onboard Familiarization: For crew members, the 3D Viewer is an unparalleled training tool. They can virtually navigate the boat, identify safety equipment, understand engine room layouts, and learn the precise location of every system component. This significantly reduces on-the-job training time and increases safety, especially on complex or unfamiliar vessels.
- Sales Team Proficiency: Empower your sales force with an in-depth understanding of every model. They can virtually demonstrate features, highlight specifications, and even address customer questions about accessibility or space, all without needing to be physically present on the boat. This builds confidence and allows for more informed and persuasive sales conversations.
- Maintenance & Technical Training: Technicians can use the 3D models to visualize complex systems, practice repair procedures virtually, and understand component relationships before commencing actual work. This can lead to reduced errors and improved efficiency.
2. Seamless Integration: Supercharging Your CRM & Marine ERP Systems
The power of 3D Boats extends beyond standalone presentations. Our solutions are designed for seamless integration, becoming a vital component of your existing operational ecosystem.
- CRM Enrichment: Imagine a sales rep in your CRM pulling up a customer’s desired boat configuration, complete with personalized options, directly within their sales opportunity. This not only enhances the customer experience but also provides valuable visual context for every interaction, making follow-ups more effective and personalized.
- Marine ERP Synergy: For boat builders and dealerships, integrating 3D models into your Marine ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system can be a game-changer.
- Parts & Service Identification: Future service and maintenance can be streamlined by having precise 3D models tied to each hull number, allowing for quick identification of parts and detailed repair planning.
- Supply Chain Visualization: Potentially visualize components within the 3D model, aiding in inventory management and procurement.
3. Precision for Protection: Insurance & Measurement
Accuracy is paramount in the marine industry, especially when it comes to insurance and surveying. Our 3D models offer an unprecedented level of detail and precision.
- Accurate Insurance Assessments: In the unfortunate event of damage, our highly detailed 3D models provide an exact “before” snapshot of the vessel. This can be invaluable for insurance adjusters, allowing for more precise damage assessment, quicker claims processing, and a clearer understanding of the extent of repairs needed. The ability to measure every dimension within the model ensures fair and accurate valuations.
- Virtual Surveying & Measurement: Conducting pre-purchase surveys or damage assessments can often be time-consuming and logistically challenging. With our 3D Viewer, surveyors can perform virtual walk-throughs and take precise measurements of any dimension of the boat – hull length, beam, interior clearances, even the size of specific components – all remotely. This reduces the need for multiple physical visits and provides a consistent, verifiable data set.
- Customization & Refit Planning: For owners planning a refit or customization, the ability to measure exact dimensions within the 3D model allows for precise planning, ensuring new components fit perfectly and avoiding costly errors during installation.
The Horizon of Possibilities
The “unexpected” applications of our 3D Viewer and Digital Sales Room are constantly expanding as our clients discover new and inventive ways to leverage their power. From enhanced training to streamlined operations, and precise insurance assessments, these tools are proving to be much more than just sales aids – they are foundational technologies for the modern marine business.
