Paul Leach, Director of Dealer Sales at Sharp UK says:
“At Sharp we are always looking for ways we can improve our Technology Partner Programme to further support our dedicated dealer-partners. Our new Virtual Showroom Experience is a perfect example of this. We’re providing our dealer-partners and their clients with options, retaining our physical showroom, but enhancing the client journey with the Virtual Showroom Experience.
“The aim of the experience is to provide dealers with a way to help their customers and prospects explore what they can achieve with technology in their workplace and organisation. Saving time and travel evaluating our portfolio more easily, to quickly reach that all-important conclusion as to which product, solutions and or service, is right for their organisation. Our Virtual Showroom will help them to make more informed decisions with features like AR, which lets them use their mobile phones to view scaled product renders, visualising solutions in their own workplace.
We simply can’t stand still. Innovation is key to continue meeting the changing needs of buyers, and to stand out to our dealer-partners and their clients and prospects as a supplier that goes above and beyond to help them make the best decisions for their organisation.”
