innovation

The home ideas portal made running the business for the franchisees easy by incorporating communication, analytics and finance into one cohesive interface.
thinking commerce? think omnichannel
In todays era a brand cannot survive by thinking about digital interventions in isolation. It needs to look at the business and consumer ecosystem so that interventions are meaningfully planned in the journeys.
decorating your home now at your fingertips
With carefully interpreted briefs for various interventions, we were able to attack all touchpoints and bring out the best out of each one. Fabric calculators, home ideas, seasonal themes and many other tools on mobility gave consumers content to engage meaningfully throughout the year.
home decor treated as fashion rather than once in a while activity
Home decor as an activity is considered as a one off activity every 4 - 5 years. This leaves the brand with absolutely no engagement post interior work. Ddecor approached it more like fashion and allowed digital channels to evangelise the seasonal flavours to drive engagement on a continuous basis.
screens and workflows designed to showcase content
Interior decor is a lifestyle activity and DDecor occupies the higher realms of this segment. The experience needed to showcase the product in its full glory while making decision making seem natural and intuitive. The design language chosen was minimal yet bold to not just showcase, but to enhance the product.
home ideas - a platform to connect ddecor to their franchisees
A unique platform that keeps the company connected to their franchisees and enables them to work in tandem with each other. The platform provides real-time connectivity to the warehouses to check stock, place orders and manage finances. The platform also provides them intelligence on trends and offers and tools and calculators.
creating an interactive and immersive experience
We designed an immersive multitaction experience on large touch tables to be used in flagship showrooms. We leveraged IoT to enable users to bring up collections, explore the specifications of the fabrics and then visualise their rooms in a larger than life size.
