Industry Challenges

Why product questions slow down home improvement showrooms

Large, Variant-Heavy Catalogs

Thousands of products across sizes, finishes, colours and collections from many brands make it hard for buyers to find the right option — on the showroom floor or online.

Repeated Specification Questions

Sales staff explain the same dimensions, finishes, materials and documented specifications many times a day, often while another customer is waiting.

Busy Floors and After-Hours Browsing

When salespeople are with other customers, or the showroom is closed, buyers' questions wait until someone is free — and some buyers move on.

Interest That Leaves Without an Enquiry

Buyers leave without sharing what they need, and owners have little visibility into the questions and categories that bring buyers in.

Showroom & Website Journey

From product question to a sales conversation

Buyers scan a QR code on a display or open the AI widget on your website. CosmiRoNex AI guides the question-heavy early stages and hands every pricing, availability and project question to your sales team.

  1. Step 1: Scan or Ask

    A buyer scans a QR code on a display, sample board or catalog in your showroom — or opens the AI widget on your website.

  2. Step 2: Find

    Matching products are shown from your approved catalog.

  3. Step 3: Narrow Down

    Results are filtered by documented attributes such as size, finish, colour or material.

  4. Step 4: Check Details

    Answers come from the specification sheets, brochures and documents your team has approved.

  5. Step 5: Compare

    Shortlisted products are compared side by side using documented specifications.

  6. Step 6: Share Requirements

    The buyer describes the products, quantities and project details they need in an enquiry form.

  7. Step 7: Talk to Sales

    Your sales team follows up on pricing, availability, quotations and suitability for the buyer's project.

    Human sales team

CosmiRoNex AI assists product discovery and documented specification questions. Your team handles pricing, availability, quotations, quantities and project suitability.

Approved Knowledge Sources

Your catalog and your documents. One conversation.

CosmiRoNex AI answers only from information your team approves — structured product data for what you sell, and product documents for how each item is specified, finished and cared for.

Layer 1

Product Catalog

Structured product data

Products from every brand and collection you sell, each with attributes such as product name, brand, collection, category, size, finish, colour, material and a call to action for your sales team.

  • •Tiles, sanitaryware & bath fittings
  • •Lighting, laminates & architectural hardware
  • •Doors, windows, paints & waterproofing
  • •Sizes, finishes, colours & collections
Layer 2

Product Documents

Approved brand and company documents

Brochures, specification sheets, care and installation guides and warranty terms, plus your own showroom policies and contact details — uploaded and approved by your team.

  • •Brochures & specification sheets
  • •Care & installation guides
  • •Warranty terms
  • •Your showroom policies & sales contacts
Buyers combine both in one conversation — for example, “Show me matt grey floor tiles in 600×1200 mm, and what does the specification sheet say about water absorption?” Answers are as current as the data your team publishes.

Capabilities

How CosmiRoNex AI solves these challenges

Catalog-Based Product Discovery

Buyers search by category, size, finish, colour or keyword and see relevant items from your approved catalog — in the showroom by QR or on your website.

Documented Specification Answers

Questions about dimensions, finishes, materials and care are answered from the specification sheets and brochures you upload — never from guesswork.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Buyers compare shortlisted collections, finishes and sizes using the details in your catalog and documents, without invented values.

Enquiry Capture & Sales Handoff

When a buyer asks about price, stock or a quotation, the assistant invites them to submit an enquiry and passes their details to your sales team.

Sample Conversations

Example buyer questions answered from your approved catalog and documents

Illustrative examples. Answers come only from the product information and documents your team approves.

Tiles & Flooring

Buyer asks:

"Show me matt-finish floor tiles in 600×1200 mm, in grey."

CosmiRoNex AI responds:

The assistant searches your approved catalog for tiles whose listed size, finish and colour match, shows each one with its documented specifications and offers to compare them. If nothing matches, it says so.

Bath Fittings

Buyer asks:

"Compare these two single-lever basin mixers for finish, material and warranty."

CosmiRoNex AI responds:

Documented finishes, materials, dimensions and warranty terms are shown side by side from your catalog and brand brochures — without filling in missing values.

Lighting

Buyer asks:

"Which LED downlights do you carry in warm white?"

CosmiRoNex AI responds:

The assistant lists the matching downlights in your catalog with their documented wattage, colour temperature and cut-out size where listed, and says clearly when a detail is not in your documents.

Laminates & Surfaces

Buyer asks:

"Which thicknesses and finishes does this laminate collection come in?"

CosmiRoNex AI responds:

The assistant answers from the catalog data and brochure your team has approved for that collection. Questions about the right grade for a specific application are passed to your sales team.

Architectural Hardware

Buyer asks:

"I'm an interior designer — which door handles do you have in brushed brass?"

CosmiRoNex AI responds:

The assistant shows the handles in your catalog listed with a brushed brass finish, with their documented dimensions, and invites the designer to share a shortlist and quantities with your team.

Pricing & Availability

Buyer asks:

"What is the price for 80 boxes of this tile, and is it in stock?"

CosmiRoNex AI responds:

The assistant explains that it cannot confirm live stock or pricing, then invites the buyer to submit an enquiry with the product, quantity and contact details and passes the request to your sales team.
