Hypertouch
Iris Ceramica Group presents Hypertouch, the innovative capacitive surface that enhances the functionality of design beyond imagination.
The specific logistical requirements of large format slabs are complex. Our commitment to provide solutions for our partners and not just products meant reviewing these processes, and in many cases reinventing them. From warehouse design to stock management, vehicles to machinery, every aspect of transport, storage and handling was re-examined and reformulated from the ground up.
We developed five distinct modules that would provide the support framework to restore confidence and facilitate our partners. The solution needed to be fully integrated in order to provide specialist logistics, technical expertise, inspiration, customer service and access to all Iris Ceramica Group brands. With every service offered under one roof, Platform Plus removes all logistical barriers, while providing the administrative and technical support that our partners require.
Iris Ceramica Group is composed of some of the most popular and successful brands on the market, each with their own unique identity and commitment to quality and innovation. For the first time and through our unique distribution strategy, partners of Platform Plus are able to access the materials from Ariostea (Ultra), Fiandre (Maximum), FMG (Maxfine), Porcelaingres (Great) and SapienStone all in one place.
A dedicated account manager is able to suggest alternative materials as well as providing assistance with specification, thereby removing all logistic & administrative headaches.
With dedicated on-hand support that only locally based operations can deliver, no international transport costs, no minimum order quantities and short lead times, there are clear benefits both to your business and your clients.
With a single point of contact, Platform Plus offers significant efficiency benefits and allows partners to order across multiple brands in a single order.
Through an innovative digital platform, partners have direct and immediate access to all slab surfaces available from the Iris Ceramica Group brands.
The services provided through Platform Plus are offered through five core modules. As cornerstones for the platform, each one is fundamental to the delivery of a localised and fully integrated solution. Platform Plus provides specialist warehousing and logistics, technical expertise, inspiration and customer service, while an extensive UK stock holding removes international shipping costs and greatly mitigates any risk associated with the transporting of large slabs. Flexible logistics and a single point of contact mean that partners enjoy efficiencies across all areas, including shorter lead times and no minimum order quantities.
The elegant ICG Gallery in London is located within the bustling design district of Clerkenwell and showcases the very best of the Iris Ceramica Group brands. The Gallery is comprised of 6000-square-feet of floor space spread over three levels and has been created for Platform Plus partners and their clients. This unique space is the perfect place to send clients wishing to view and experience the latest large format materials and a regularly updated selection of bespoke furniture items, illustrating the best of Tailor-made+.
Tailor-made+ was developed here in the UK as an essential component to exploiting the beauty and practicality of high‐performance porcelain slabs. Its solutions benefit a wide range of industries and provide the link between idea, design and realisation. Tailor-made+ enables our partners to support their professional clients, contractors and homeowners through the provision of cut-to-size and cut-to-shape services and the manufacture of bathroom furniture, kitchen countertops, steps, interiors, products and accessories.
Platform Plus was launched to serve its partners. Since then the platform has been critical to the success of large format porcelain slabs in the UK. Our partners have come to appreciate that with every product sold, they are buying a solution, and not just a commodity. By listening to our partners needs and experiences, we can also ensure that our services continue to develop.
