> Mockshop - Common Question and Answers

Do we need to buy any specialist equipment to run Mockshop?

Mockshop is designed to run on a standard Windows PC. The only "specialist" equipment is the recommended nVidia or ATI graphics card. This provides significantly enhanced performance in the Virtual 3D store. However, we do recommend that you purchase a photo studio that complies with our specification. The only "specialist" equipment within the studio is the invisible hangers and measuring device.

How much training is needed?

Users who are familiar with Windows can be trained and operational within 3 days, however, there is a lot of detailed functionality within Mockshop and the Visual Retailing suite and, therefore, we recommend each user follows a 5 day course.

How long does it take to implement?

Of course this depends entirely upon what you want to achieve. However, clients have been producing full colour catalogues of their product ranges and visual store planograms within 3 days. In our experience the software can be installed on the server and 5 workstations in one morning. Assuming your data is available and organised, it can be imported and your system operational within 2 days. The speed of implementation is driven by the business objectives and resource availability and commitment.

Do I have to build all of my stores to make this work?

No not at all. Mockshop was designed to build ideal/prototypical stores of each grade of store.

Can Mockshop use CAD images or do they have to be photos?

Mockshop works happily with both CAD images and photos. In fact, Mockshop can use JPG, BMP, TGA, TIF and PNG bitmap file formats.

Can I build my own fixtures or do I need a specialist to create them for me?

Mockshop comes with a library of standard fixtures and all of the tools for you or be able to build your own fixture library.

Can Mockshop us the AutoCAD files my architect supplies?

Yes Mockshop can import DXF (Data eXchange Format) files. This is common standard file format used by AutoCAD and most other CAD systems.

How long does it take to create a 3D garment?

Using photographs produced using the PhotoStudio, a photo is converted into a properly scaled 2D garment silhouette and a 3D hanging and folded garment in less than 5 seconds.

Can I import my data and images?

Yes the VisualImport tool automates the entire data and image importing process.
