IBEYOSTUDIO is a consulting firm working with PR and press for to the fashion and clothing industry. The collections are photographed and stored in a virtual showroom which can be accessed on the Internet. Stylists, photographers, journalists and other registered users can book the items they want to borrow for editorial articles and reports. One great benefit is that the virtual showroom always contains the full press collection, even those items that are borrowed to someone and thereby is missing in the physical showroom.
Each garment has its unique and searchable information attached to it, making it very easy to search and find. The result is presented by thumbnails and preview images. The pictures are protected by water-stamps to prevent unauthorized usage. It is simple to add garments to your shopping cart for booking. Each garment has its own calendar which facilitates the administration and is the basis for lending statistic reports sent to the brand owners.
When an order is made and processed a delivery note with images is printed and attached to the delivery. This will be the receipt for the order, making it easier for everybody involved to work and to provide a higher service level. When the garments are returned and something is missing, an e-mail is automatically sent including images of the missing garments.
The usage of the Virtual Showroom is a huge success within the branch. QBank is a well designed and suitable product for achieving transparency between IT and Public Relations.
