What Krost needed from 3D and AR
Krost had evaluated multiple 3D and AR solutions but held back from investing because none met the expectations of a modern commercial furniture retailer. The team was specifically looking for a platform that would:
-
Be simple and intuitive, improving website user experience rather than adding friction.
-
Deliver realistic, non-gimmicky augmented reality that commercial decision-makers could trust.
-
Allow multiple products to be placed and interacted with at the same time for complex fit-outs.
-
Run fully in the browser, integrating cleanly with existing product detail pages and ecommerce flows
-
Be easy for the sales team to use as a visual selling tool in conversations with commercial clients
Imersian’s spatial AI platform met these requirements while remaining lightweight to integrate into Krost’s existing digital stack.
How Imersian was implemented at Krost
From 3D catalogue to AR‑ready products
Krost onboarded its 3D catalogue, including key product variations, into Imersian so the same assets could power both web-based 3D and augmented reality experiences. Each model was optimised for performance, helping pages load fast while still showcasing materials and details at a quality suitable for commercial buyers.
Branded 3D viewer that feels native
Imersian’s configurable 3D viewer was customised to match Krost’s visual identity, from colours and fonts to icons and interface elements. This made the 3D experience feel like a natural part of the Krost site, rather than a bolted-on third‑party widget.
White-labelled 3D and AR for retailers
To protect and strengthen the Krost brand, Imersian provided a fully white-labelled 3D and AR viewer with a custom domain. This approach ensures customers stay in a consistent web experience from product discovery through to checkout, which is critical for commercial buyers who need trust and continuity.
Streamlined website integration
Imersian helped Krost map 3D models to the right product pages and set up repeatable processes for future SKUs. This reduced internal effort and made it easier for the marketing and ecommerce teams to roll out 3D and AR across the catalogue over time.
Actionable 3D / AR analytics
Beyond visuals, Krost now has access to detailed analytics on how visitors interact with 3D and AR on their site. These metrics give insight into engagement, intent, and the products customers are exploring most inside the viewer, creating a new layer of behavioural data for the commercial team.
Impact on sales and commercial clients
“The models are looking great on the website and it has been very easy to communicate with your team when I have needed any.”
Amelie Barthod,
Marketing Executive
This highlights two key benefits for retailers: high visual quality and responsive support during implementation.
Most importantly for a commercial-focused retailer, Krost has successfully embedded the 3D and AR experience into its sales process. Sales teams now use the viewer with commercial clients, adding an “impressive factor” and a strong novelty element that helps move projects forward faster.
Why this matters for commercial retailers
For retailers like Krost, the value of 3D and AR goes beyond aesthetics; it becomes an everyday sales and merchandising tool. Imersian’s platform gives Krost:
-
A central, intuitive system to manage 3D and AR assets at scale.
-
Premium, ongoing support that keeps projects moving and internal teams unblocked.
-
Robust, web-native 3D and AR technology that aligns with commercial buyer expectations and integrates into existing sales workflows.
Because the platform is easy to use, Krost’s internal teams face virtually no learning curve, which is crucial when rolling out new technology across sales, marketing, and ecommerce. This ease of adoption has allowed Krost to unlock 3D and AR not just as a website feature, but as a practical tool their sales team relies on in customer meetings with commercial clients.
