THE CHALLENGE

Sculptform’s original Price & Spec tool provided valuable features such as 3D visualisation and downloadable specifications. However, it faced significant limitations: user adoption was below expectations, real-time pricing was unavailable, and the platform’s outdated technology restricted updates. This prevented the onboarding of new Sculptform products and left pricing information outdated. The challenge was to redesign the tool to be more intuitive and user-friendly, making it a go-to solution for architects and builders to streamline their design processes and fully leverage its benefits.

THE SOLUTION

Hitori developed a refined version of Sculptform’s signature Price & Spec tool. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of user behaviour and identified key areas for improvement. This revamped platform boasts an intuitive interface and powerful features, empowering users to navigate the design process with ease. 

THE END PRODUCT

Hitori’s collaboration with Sculptform transformed Price & Spec into a powerful and user-friendly tool. Through strategic application of UX design principles, the project demonstrably improved user experience, boosted adoption, and ultimately streamlined the design and budgeting process for architects and builders working with Sculptform products.

This case study demonstrates how Hitori can partner with clients to develop innovative software solutions that improve user experience and business processes.
