Business Situation
The client recognized that interior designers and architects often struggled to find marble designs that perfectly matched their vision. The existing process required browsing multiple suppliers and catalogs, which was time-consuming and inefficient. In addition, estimating the right quantity and confirming stock availability involved manual coordination, making the process slower and sometimes leading to delays in project execution.
To address this, the client aimed to simplify and modernize the entire experience through an AI-powered platform. The idea was to allow users to upload reference images and instantly discover similar marble designs. Along with this, the platform would offer real-time inventory updates, enabling faster, more accurate decisions and a smoother, more efficient selection process.
Their key requirements included:
Build an AI-powered image search feature so users can upload reference images and instantly find visually similar marble patterns.
Define the development roadmap with an ideal software architecture and technology stack to ensure the platform is scalable, fast, and accessible on both web and mobile.
Implement a real-time inventory management system for accurate stock updates, preventing mismatches between demand and availability.
Create a comprehensive admin dashboard to manage product listings, update inventory, track orders, and handle customer queries efficiently.
Develop a secure and scalable backend to support a growing marble catalog and high-resolution image processing.
Integrate AR/VR capabilities to let users visualize marble designs in real-world settings, enhancing decision-making and engagement.
