Businesses have made interaction a primary focus in e-commerce. The majority of these even go so far as to provide video clips and images showing every angle of a product. Even while this was the usual, it wasn't always the best because customers preferred more control over the goods in important purchase instances, to sit with their choices as it would have been if they had been physically present, and 2D images and detailed video clips didn't do much of this.

E-commerce made it possible for customers to purchase goods at their convenience without having to break a sweat, hail a cab, or drag themselves into a store to make a preferred decision. However, while this was the case, delivered choices were not always the best, which led to the need for more interaction as well as convenience.

3D product configurator: Customers are beginning to anticipate an interactive product experience, a 3D product configurator is used to display product customization. It allows customers to customize a product to their needs. Customers may interact with the product online and in real time. However, it does more than just allow users to view different components, styles, and colors; it also offers dynamic pricing for a configuration that has been selected.

Importance of the Maritime Industry Water keeps the economy going, keeping people nourished and employed. Today's breakfast was shipped, and tomorrow's fuel is already on its way. 90% of manufactured and used items are transported by ships, including fuel, automobiles, and perishable goods. This stabilizes a nation's economy.

Over 12billion dollars in commerce, ships on American waterways daily, and numbers are expected to double seeing how outrageous profits can be for a nation. A lot of investment has been sent out to keep the waterways running, there's a future to build for a nation. This births another need in the manufacturing of ships, as quality would be the case in transactions like these.

With the advancement of e-commerce, clients such as nations, and businesses may now make purchases without being physically present and with the innovation of 3D configurator they can now interact with products without leaving their comfort.

Benefits of using 3D configuration in maritime industry

It's important you know why you should use a 3D configurator and what you stand to achieve using it, according to Razi Alakhdar, Marketing Manager at Salsita he ****said "Adopting a 3D product configurator leads to better customer experience and engagement. This helps drive more sales, fewer returns, and higher ROI. Choosing the right 3D product configurator is essential to achieving these benefits’’.

As a business owner, it is your responsibility to complete sales. Whether this occurs following a presentation, over the phone, in-person, in a showroom, or after an online demo, it remains your responsibility.

The majority of salespeople are unaware of the reality that a strong demo accomplishes nothing to close deals without the participation and satisfaction of the consumer. The ideal way to allow a consumer to develop his or her taste and patronize their decision is to let them engage with the products, since a well-articulated sales technique always results in patronization.

The benefits that a 3D product configurator offers are listed below:

The ability to empathize with your customers: If you are selling low pricing product like a 2$ worth of clothing, where customers do not go for much value you don’t really neeed to have empathy because you are just providing a quick solution, however if you are selling something that is of high value in our case a Ship and its parts, your customers need to know that you have there best interest at heart, showing much care about the best fit of your product.

For instance, Mr. A places a high value on aesthetics in his cruise holiday business, while Mr. B places a high priority on inner structure and a lesser emphasis on eye-catching aesthetics in his ship manufacturing business. Mr.A visits Mr.B's online store to make a purchase, and thanks to the 3D configurator, he has complete control over the process and can explore the entire ship before making a decision, he is also given control to create his taste before purchase.

If Mr. A suggests a unique change, Mr. B’s data stats would indicate a need for such specs, so Mr. B adopts and manufactures them quickly to satisfy Mr. A. Without a physical demonstration of care as a great salesman, putting in place Mr. A's demands made available through a 3D configurator, a demonstration of concern has been seen and put into action for optimum satisfaction on both ends.

Wholistic Inspection: For ship purshaces, one of the top priorities of customers is the inspection of the ships and in an online business physical inspection isn’t the case. This barrier led to the development of 3D configurators, whose sole purpose is to give their customers the ability to not only customize but also see through every detail of the product. Typically, customers pay professional inspectors to carry out a very vivid visual inspection on the ships, background research, and survey analysis.

In the case of ship purchases, customers place equal emphasis on the structural integrity of ships as they do on their aesthetics. While poor aesthetics may deter customers, the structure benefits enterprises and customers. The thickness of the hull, the integrity of marine valves, steering systems, inspecting electrical systems, electrical equipment on board, and structural accuracy of the submerge area of the vessel should all be visible using a 3D configurator. Wholistic Inspection indicates integrity and integrity in business boosts sales.

Constructive Detailing: A 3D configurator allows for the exposure of a ship's complete history, including information on its susceptibility to damage and how frequent maintenance can be performed. The best defense, in my opinion, is a creative attack. Articulated detailing helps prospects understand that you are the ideal company to help them bridge the gap between doubt and purchases. Most of the time, prospects do not really know what they want. They may come to you saying they need XYZ, but XYZ isn't the issue. A 3D configurator doesn't show XYZ but exposes in detail the A-Z of a ship, eliminating objections, decreasing doubts and doubling sales numbers.

Sea trials: This cannot be ignored in the purchase of ships, as customers will always need to try products when distance is a barrier and getting the product at convenience is a top priority, 3D configurator comes with a key, as it allows customers to experiment in real-time. A configurator can be implemented in a variety of ways. In Salsita, developers work diligently to realize fantasies, and testing your ship's full capabilities before making purchases is simple. With parametric configuration, clients can choose product dimensions as long as the manufacturing process and configurator rules permit it, thus you do not need to try the items to get a comprehensive customer insight.

Conclusion

The tried-and-true strategy of providing product descriptions and images is just not sufficient to keep up with changing consumer tastes and needs as online retailers expand quickly. Research has shown that consumers genuinely want input and control over the shiny new things they are paying for. They get just that via the 3D configurator's product depiction. Customers can scrutinize their creations in great detail from every angle thanks to this technology, and Salsita played a creative part in the advancement of this industry.
