SHOPLINE, a global smart commerce platform, is partnering with Nextech AR Solutions Corp to bring its proprietary augmented reality technology to its merchants in Singapore. This is Nextech AR’s first partnership in Singapore, giving SHOPLINE merchants access to high-quality 3D/AR models for eCommerce through its scalable and easy to use AR solution, ARitize 3D. With this strategic partnership, SHOPLINE merchants will be able to transform their eCommerce business with Nextech AR’s tools, by promoting higher rates of engagement and allowing customers to personalize their own browsing experience.
Augmented Reality – Now Made Accessible
With over 70% of Singaporean consumers more likely to purchase from a brand online if immersive technologies such as AR are part of the experience, online retailers are under pressure to find AR solutions that are accessible, simple to use, and can integrate easily into their existing eCommerce platform. SHOPLINE’s partnership with Nextech AR gives merchants access to its proprietary AR technology.
This partnership offers an array of the enhanced 3D model and AR visualizations including; product hotspots, animations, 360+ exploded views, 3D swirl ads, configurator, 3D carousel, virtual staging and room decorator through its solution ARitize 3D.
ARitize 3D – Transforming eCommerce with AR Enhancements
Nextech AR’s eCommerce enhancements transform your product page and improve customer experience. Their key features include:
- Product Configuration – this tool changes colours, textures, and arrangement of products in real-time, boosting customer engagement as they explore various product options.
- Virtual Staging – Easily switch up the environment, size and angle of items without the traditional hassle of equipment, lighting, props and more.
- 3D/AR Swirl Ads – Break through the noise of endless promotions and stand out with AR swirl ads that encourage customers to get up close and personal with your products.
- Product Page Carousels – Nurture customer engagement by adding 3D models to your existing image carousel, adding an interactive layer and enhancing the user experience.
Convert More Customers with AR Ads
With the average person seeing 4,000 to 10,000 advertisements a day, the cost of obtaining consumers’ attention has increased, making it imperative to offer engaging, impactful content. AR presents merchants with a way to cut through the noise and make their advertisements more memorable and interactive, driving 85+ seconds of dwell time, 20% increased interaction rates, and 33% improved CTR to purchase.
SHOPLINE merchants will have access to Nextech AR’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered technology, which turns existing 2D images into high-quality 3D and AR models quickly and easily.
