Background
)
Traditionally, designing commercial bar and beverage systems was a meticulous process that often spanned weeks to finalize configurations. Customers and designers encountered challenges in accurately visualizing the layout and making adjustments according to their needs.
Challenge
)
The challenge was to shorten the long planning processes, as traditional methods required a considerable amount of time. In addition, the limited visualization options were perceived as a hurdle, as it was difficult for customers and planners to accurately visualize and imagine the final layout of the bar. The aim was to provide a tool to understand, adapt and walk through every detail of a floor plan before a single purchase is made.
Result
)
By implementing five innovative configurators (BeerFlex, BarFlex, FridgeFlex, FaucetFlex and and BarFlexPro) and the Floor Designer function, Krowne enables its customers and planners to interactively design and visualize bar layouts, bar systems and food service products.
Thanks to the seamless integration of over 10,000 configurations, design time is reduced from weeks to minutes, saving valuable resources. The improved visualization capabilities allow for more accurate and customized bar layouts, according to individual customer requirements.
In addition, rooms can be fully planned and visualized even before they exist. The simplified ordering process automates procurement and logistics, speeding up project completion.
