Add foot shape to the fitting conversation
Your staff know the footwear. A 3D scan gives them measurements of both feet to use alongside that knowledge.
Staff can show the shopper their foot shape on screen and use the results to explain the products they suggest.
Use measurements and recommendations to choose what to try
The scanner measures both feet in about 5 seconds, including length, width and instep height. Staff can consider foot shape as well as shoe size when helping shoppers choose hiking boots.
With Volumental recommendations enabled for your range, staff can use the scan results to narrow down the products to try. The aim is a better match for the shopper, with comfort for the walk ahead.
Support the fitting session your staff already lead
Outdoor retailers combine measurements with a conversation about the shopper’s plans and an in-store try-on. The scan adds foot-shape information to that process.
Use the scan before selecting hiking boots to try. Your staff bring their knowledge of the terrain, socks and footwear to the selection, then check the fit with the shopper as they walk in store.
