How KeyShot helped save time, money, and improve quality
We recently just launched our newest addition to the baser product-family, which is our second parasol base model. The parasol base is designed for use on balconies. We did a few rounds of user testing and evaluation throughout the design process, where we made KeyShot renders of different suggestions for the design to get feedback from the end-user. Compared to getting user-feedback based on, for example, 3D-printed prototypes, which would have been much more time consuming and expensive, the KeyShot renders were by far the better choice.

How start-up companies can benefit from KeyShot
For our newest product, the parasol base for balconies, we got more than 2,000 pre-orders before the product went into production. This occurred by showing customers renders of the new product. It confirmed that there was a demand for the product and that we could invest in injection molds for the new product with confidence in knowing that the product would be sellable. For a start-up, there is no time and money for big mistakes, such as launching a product that does not meet the end-user’s demands and will not sell.

It is awesome to see how the renders made in KeyShot have helped our B2B sales staff get the product out in the stores and online.”

Examples of projects where KeyShot has been used
For our B2B-customers, which is primarily DIY stores and similar stores dealing with garden furniture, we have had great success showing them KeyShot renders of our in-store marketing material. Last year, we decided to launch a new product packaging together with a product display solution and we made KeyShot renders of the new designs. It is awesome to see how the renders made in KeyShot have helped our B2B sales staff get the product out in the stores and online.
