PlaceMakers taps Marxent 3D Cloud for kitchen design move

PlaceMakers, a New Zealand-based supplier of building materials and hardware, has launched a new 3D kitchen planner, powered by the Marxent 3D Cloud.

This allows customers to drag and drop products directly from 2D inspirational photos into a 3D floorplan.

The initiative is a part of the company’s commitment to providing easy online tools that make choices for builders and homeowners easier. Consumers and pros can access the PlaceMakers Room Planner from an online app. It will also be used in PlaceMakers retail stores for in-person design appointments.

The new Marxent 3D Cloud powered application bridges inspiration, design, and purchase. It also allows customers, builders, and branch consultants to collaborate on designs.

The PlaceMakers 3D Room Planner is browser-based, integrates with its existing enterprise quoting system. It features over 10,000 product SKUs, including a full range of cabinet fronts, finishes, hardware, benchtops, sinks and taps, wall paint, and flooring options.

Plans are afoot to add bathroom, laundry, and wardrobe configuration in the coming months.

“Kiwi shoppers deserve a best in class online design experience for kitchens,” says Ruth Brash, General Manager of Merchandise at PlaceMakers.

“Today’s shoppers bank on being able to try out different products before committing to a design. They want to visualise their material selections without having to know the entire catalogue or take special training courses.”

“The PlaceMakers Room Planner is entirely visual, providing a fun, fast, and easy kitchen design process to online and in-store homeowners as well as builders.”

“PlaceMakers thrives on using innovation to make new house builds and home improvement projects easier for our customers.”

“When we were ready to upgrade our kitchen and bath experience to align with the expectations of customers, Marxent delivered quickly and with excellent customer service. They took us from contract to launch in just 12 weeks.”

“PlaceMakers came to us ready to innovate with the end goal of delivering an updated, extraordinary design experience,” comments Beck Besecker, CEO and Co-Founder, Marxent.

“The new PlaceMakers Room Planner is unlike anything else in the region and reflects how people want to shop, opening up kitchen, bathroom, and wardrobe project design to a broader audience. The metaverse is unfolding and investing in digital versions of products and 3D applications is the first step.”
