Summary

At the Ideal Home Show, Mitsubishi Electric deployed an advanced Air Conditioning System Builder on large touchscreens. The tool allowed homeowners to move beyond simple questions and interactively build a bespoke, multi-room cooling solution. Users could add rooms, specify requirements, and balance preferences like budget vs. performance to receive a truly personalised system recommendation.

The Challenge

Choosing the right air conditioning is complex for homeowners, involving factors like room size, number of units, and product features. Mitsubishi Electric needed a way to simplify this process on the busy show floor, providing genuine value while capturing detailed lead information that goes far beyond a name and email address.

The Solution

An interactive, touchscreen-based System Builder was developed. It guided users through a visual, room-by-room process. A smart configuration engine in the background analysed their inputs and preferences, generating a personalised system recommendation. The final summary and contact details were seamlessly passed to Mitsubishi Electric's CMS to trigger follow-up marketing emails.
