At Bubble, we want to enable potential builders to create their ideas without code, so we are exploring and reviewing the many tools and software that enterprises might use to build apps.
What is Scapic?
A B2B service, Scapic allows you to integrate 3D images and augmented reality (AR) into e-commerce websites that are built on platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce.
With Scapic, you receive access to a no-code dashboard that lets you enable VR/AR, generate 360° views of your products, and create 3D experiences, all within your browser. Using the drag-and-drop editor, you can create high-fidelity visualizations of your product by adjusting the shape and size of your images.
If you want to draw attention to a certain project, you are equipped with tools for building landing pages with custom activation messages, embing 3D models into your site, developing experiential demos, or creating virtual shopping experiences that mimic walking through an actual store. According to Scapic, the realistic AR experience can, on average, increase customer engagement, as measured by click through rates and user dwell time.
Who is Scapic for?
A SaaS product, Scapic can benefit companies that are currently using Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and BigCommerce. Customers include retailers such as Royal Enfield, apartment18, Green Soul Ergonomics, Myntra, and Bent Chair.
B2B marketing managers who are looking to increase conversions and reduce product return rates, or who want to create 3D experiences without writing code, will find Scapic useful for enhancing their product images.
Aside from companies in the e-commerce and retail sectors, organizations that are planning to host virtual conferences or arrange virtual tours can benefit from using Scapic.
