Innovative Configurator for Environmental Acoustics

AresLine Spa is an Italian company with over 30 years of experience in the design and production of acoustic solutions for indoor environments. The company serves a wide range of customers, including offices, schools, restaurants, hotels, and private homes.

AresLine's main need was to create a digital tool that would allow its customers to assess the acoustics of their environments and identify the most suitable sound-absorbing solutions for their needs. The goal was to offer an intuitive and accessible self-service service, in order to simplify the process of choosing and purchasing AresLine's sound-absorbing products.

Fonology has brought numerous benefits to AresLine Spa, including:

• Increased sales: The application has made it easier to purchase AresLine sound-absorbing products, leading to increased online and offline sales.
• Improved customer experience: Fonology has allowed AresLine customers to independently assess the acoustics of their environments and identify the most suitable solutions for their needs, improving their overall experience with the brand.
• Reduced customer service costs: The application has reduced the number of customer service requests related to room acoustics, freeing up valuable time for AresLine staff.
• Brand reinforcement: Fonology has helped to strengthen AresLine's image as an innovative and leading company in the field of environmental acoustics.

Fonology was developed entirely in JavaScript using the following frameworks and technologies:

• Frontend: React, Redux
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js

We faced several challenges during the development of Fonology, including:

• Reverberation index calculation: The main challenge was to develop an algorithm for calculating the reverberation index that was accurate and easy to use for non-acoustic expert customers. We used a combination of acoustic simulation techniques to achieve a robust and reliable algorithm.
• Integration with sound-absorbing products: Another challenge was to integrate the application with AresLine's product catalog, so that customers could view and select the most suitable sound-absorbing products for their needs. We developed an API interface for communication between the application and AresLine's product management system.
• Intuitive user experience: It was essential to create an intuitive user interface that was easy to use and aligned with the brand identity. We conducted numerous usability tests to ensure that the application was simple and accessible to everyone.

Fonology is an example of how we have been able to use our technological expertise to develop innovative solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers. The application has brought numerous benefits to AresLine Spa. Fonology is a concrete example of how digital technology can be used to improve people's quality of life and create value for businesses.
