Virtual Manufacturing Platform​

An Extra Dimension to Your Trade Show Activities

We understand the importance of engaging different stakeholders effectively across various events like kick-offs, fairs, and webinars, with a product experience that goes beyond the capabilities of a traditional Learning Management System (LMS).

 

All-in-One Solution: Unlike regular LMS, our platform is not just for training; it's a comprehensive tool for hosting webinars, meetings, and centralising product knowledge. This multifunctionality enables seamless communication and knowledge transfer.

Webinar and Meeting Capabilities: The platform integrates seamlessly with popular video conferencing tools, allowing you to conduct live webinars and meetings effortlessly, engaging with your audience in real-time.

Product Knowledge Hub: We provide a centralised space for all your product-related content, including 3D models, videos, and virtual presentations. This feature ensures that your team and stakeholders have easy and instant access to the information they need.

Parallel Product Universes: A standout feature of our platform is the ability to create parallel 'product universes.' This means you can segment and customise content based on specific regions, departments, or industry solutions, ensuring that the right information reaches the right audience.

Global Reach and Flexibility: Our platform’s design is geared towards maximising resource efficiency and global reach. It allows stakeholders to access content on-demand, from anywhere, making it an ideal solution for international teams and remote collaborations.

Many companies, especially those with complex products and long sales cycles, typically face the same challenges when it comes to traditional trade show activities - such as high costs, limited reach, logistics of products and challenges in measuring effectiveness. That's why we've developed a platform that addresses these key issues by digitalising the trade show experience - either complementing or replacing the physical presence by offering:

 

  • Integrated exhibition universes: Discover our customised virtual environments, like the one we created for Universal Robot, by watching this 2-minute video.
  • Cost-effectiveness and lead generation: Leverage our platform to maximise your ROI at trade shows by continuously engaging and educating your audience before, during and after the physical events.
  • Customisable features and pricing: Explore additional features and flexible pricing options here.

 

Companies like Danish Crown, Bayer AG, and Food Nation have already integrated our virtual exhibition platform into their strategy, reducing costs but also creating value by expanding their brand reach, educating suppliers and generating qualified leads.

LMS vs. Virtual Hive

LMS: Primarily educational in nature, designed to create, distribute, and manage educational content and training programs. LMS platforms are often used for internal training and development within organisations, focusing on the delivery of courses and tracking of learner progress.

 

Virtual Hive: Goes beyond the educational scope of an LMS by serving as an all-encompassing digital ecosystem for manufacturing companies. It's not just about training but facilitating a broad range of interactions among customers, employees, resellers, and business partners. This includes product showcases, webinars, virtual meetings, and detailed product information repositories.

LMS vs. Virtual Hive

LMS: Features course authoring, content management, assessment tools, and tracking capabilities. LMS platforms are effective for structured learning paths but may lack the flexibility to support dynamic, interactive product showcases or real-time collaboration.

 

Virtual Hive: Offers a multifunctional platform that integrates seamlessly with video conferencing tools for live webinars and meetings, providing real-time engagement opportunities. It allows for the creation of customisable 'product universes,' catering to specific regional or industry needs, and includes detailed 3D models, videos, and interactive presentations. This rich, interactive environment is more aligned with the experiential needs of complex manufacturing sectors.

LMS vs. Virtual Hive

LMS: Typically, LMS platforms are more unilateral, focusing on delivering content from the organisation to the learner. While modern LMS may include forums or discussion groups, the level of interactive engagement is generally limited to educational content and courses.

 

Virtual Hive: Designed to facilitate continuous and seamless interaction with diverse audiences, enhancing knowledge transfer and engagement in a more interactive and collaborative manner. The platform's global reach and on-demand accessibility ensure that stakeholders worldwide can connect, share, and collaborate efficiently.

LMS vs. Virtual Hive

LMS: While LMS platforms can be customised to a certain extent, they may not offer the level of customisation needed for complex manufacturing processes and products. Scalability can also be a concern, especially when it comes to integrating with other enterprise systems or adapting to rapidly changing market demands.

 

Virtual Hive: Specifically designed with customisation and scalability in mind, allowing manufacturing companies to tailor the platform to their unique needs. The ability to create parallel 'product universes' ensures that the platform can grow and adapt with the company, supporting varied data formats and seamless integration with existing IT infrastructure.

LMS vs. Virtual Hive

LMS: The value of an LMS lies in its ability to support learning and development initiatives, improve employee skills, and track progress towards educational goals.

 

Virtual Hive: Enhancing product visibility, facilitating global collaboration, and providing a virtual alternative to traditional trade shows and expos. This approach addresses the inherent challenges of traditional events, such as logistical complexities and prohibitive costs, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for global outreach and engagement.

And when customers need support, they find not just manuals but a live chat button away from real-time assistance.

Integrating the Virtual Hive platform with physical expos and conferences creates a seamless blend of digital and real-world interactions. It's about warming up your audience before they arrive, enriching their experience during the event, and maintaining engagement afterward. This strategic approach maximises the impact of your physical presence, ensuring that every expo and conference you participate in is both memorable and effective, keeping the conversation going long after the event ends.

In essence, the Virtual Hive platform is your digital ecosystem, breaking down barriers, fostering innovation, and connecting you with your market and community like never before. It's practical, it's efficient, and it's how modern manufacturing stays competitive.
