  • Content scheduling tools for localized campaigns with region-specific pricing and compliance notes.

The Problem

Physical shade decks were expensive to ship and quickly outdated. Dealers needed a digital tool that let offices preview chair finishes, while corporate marketing wanted to track which palettes were trending worldwide.

The Challenge

We had to deliver accurate color rendering across devices, integrate with product inventory feeds, and support localized pricing while keeping the interface light enough to run in legacy browsers still common in dental offices.

The Result

DentalEZColor doubled dealer-led orders in the first quarter, reduced printed collateral costs by 70%, and provided real-time insights into the most requested finish combinations by region.

Key Requirements

  • Render dental chair finishes with accurate color fidelity across devices and lighting conditions.
  • Shorten the ordering workflow so dealers can close business during showroom demos.
  • Empower marketing to refresh materials and upsell bundles without developer intervention.

Results & Impact

  • Dealer-initiated digital orders increased 2× within 90 days of launch.
  • Print collateral expenses dropped 70% thanks to downloadable kits and digital shade decks.
  • Marketing campaign turnaround fell from 10 business days to under 48 hours.
