HON Unveils Integrated 3D Product Configuration Powered by 3D Cloud

MUSCATINE, Iowa, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the HON Company announced the launch of the HON Collection Configurator tool, powered by 3D Cloud. The new tool now enables users to layout multiple seating products simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive and efficient experience. 

"HON is committed to making the furniture buying process easier for our end customers and our selling partners," said Sheila Busch, Vice President, CMF, Digital and Product Launch Marketing for HON. "Our selling partners were looking for tools to help customers make their selection easily, without the need for third-party software. We responded to this need by partnering with 3D Cloud."

This tool is the latest development from HON's partnership with 3D Cloud, which began in October 2022, and simplifies office chair configuration by offering a comprehensive solution. The Collection Configurator builds on the core functionalities of the original Product Configurator. It allows users to specify, visualize, request quotes, view in Augmented Reality, download detailed product lists, and generate renderings and SIF files. This streamlines the transition from design to order placement, enhancing user engagement and sales efficiency, while also simplifying communication and ordering requirements, making it easier for designers to create and manage configured product assets.

The HON Collection Configurator tool is available with a range of products, including SoCo, Tangram, Build, Flock, Storyline, Class-ifi, West Hill, and Astir. Designers can effortlessly customize back height, seats, arms, castors, controls, fabric, lumbar support, and base type. It also provides product dimensions, and a 3D Cloud WebAR OnDemand™ feature for visualizing configurations, with real-time updates to prices and 3D models.

Beck Besecker, CEO and Co-founder of 3D Cloud, praised the collaborative efforts between HON and 3D Cloud, stating, "Our collaboration with HON seamlessly integrates our 3D product configuration and augmented reality capabilities into their core sales processes, delivering exceptional user experiences. Their top-notch team has innovatively tackled industry challenges."
