Dassault Systèmes launches AI powered and cloud-based HomeByMe Kitchen Expert Suite for retailers
Dassault Systèmes has launched HomeByMe Kitchen Expert Suite, a cloud-based and AI powered solution. It says that this was developed to deliver rapid ROI by enabling retailers to double the number of web to store quotes and improve the efficiency of their omnichannel sales.
Kitchen Expert Suite combines web-based 3D planning, sales management and manufacturers’ catalogues in one omnichannel solution to design kitchens from customer inspiration through to the final delivery of a project. While the solution supports consumers’ online buying journey, its core strength lies in providing kitchen specialists and sales consultants with a suite of solutions to turn a customer's initial vision into personalised and precisely planned layouts, countertops, cabinets and other features from the catalogues, and visualise them in 3D renderings.
At the heart of this solution lies AI, designed to augment - not replace - in-store expertise. The integrated conversational virtual companion supports sellers in proposing kitchen layouts, automatically generating 3D plans, and alerting them to potential design errors based on built-in business rules.
With dedicated functionalities such as cabinet, worktop and wall panel editor, and modular block pricing, kitchen specialists can generate quotes, manage orders with manufacturers, and facilitate follow-up, while specialists can centralise and manage activities across their entire distribution network.
2026 RTIH Innovation Awards
AI will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.
Check out our 2025 winners here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
