All that users need to do is enter in their sizes, select glazed or unglazed and standard or non-standard colours and the tool will calculate the price and send it instantly by email. There’s a step-by-step guide included which walks users through the quote builder tool, a handy guide to help them choose the right spec for each project and a survey template to make sure they don’t miss anything. The tool sits on the trade section of the new website. Retail buyers who visit the site are directed to a dedicated ‘Find An Installer’ section and prompted to enter their details to help generate additional leads for AluFold Direct customers. alufolddirect.co.uk A 'BEST IN CLASS' VIRTUAL SHOWROOM Based in Newton Abbot, ambitious start-up Estuary View has ‘hit the ground running’ with Framepoint quoting software from Tommy Trinder. The team at Estuary View have opted to enter the market without a physical showroom, leveraging Framepoint to present customers with a ‘best-in-class’ virtual showroom instead. Peter Hambleton, sales lead at the firm, said: “Not having a showroom can leave you relying on the customer to use their imagination. The Framepoint software bridged that gap. It’s great to be able to visually show exactly what the customer wants, superimpose those options onto their property, and show a very clear likeness of what they’re looking to achieve. It was a bit of a guessing game until we started to use this software.” Framepoint is subscription based and billed monthly. www.tommytrinder.com 'SPA-LIKE LUXURY AT HOME' WITH CRL With people spending more time at home, CRL says its range of shower hardware ‘helps bring that touch of luxury into the domestic bathroom’.
