Startups have a solution to every pain a customer goes through. We all know the excitement of shopping, yet the tiredness after the whole day out is actually daunting. That’s why, Trupik brings to you a unique mobile application where the customer can get to virtually drape clothes on 3D replica of himself on his mobile through feeding the specifications and literally experience how the garment looks on him. This is the closest to being real experience sitting where you while choosing your favourite garment from your favourite brand and the nearest store.

How does the service work?
Trupik Connect has various kiosks in stores. To begin with, it has kiosks in 6 different locations. The brands that this startup includes are Allen Solly, Wills Lifestyle, Indian Terrain, People, Van Heusen, Peter England and Laven.
The Trupik kiosks have high-end 3D cameras to scan customers and provide them virtual trial room experience upon downloading TRUPIK CONNECT application. The whole application of Trupik runs with the help of technology named, SoFia, which stands as an acronym for “So Fashion I amâ€ÂÂ.
SoFia, launched recently, provides real time interactive support for customers browsing for garments through Trupik mobile application. In technology parlance SoFia is a customized engine and a digital platform that facilitates multidirectional interaction between consumer and stores as well as between consumers all through smart phones.
Thanks to SoFia, Trupik is successful in activating “Free Try and Buy†assisting the customer end to end – beginning from picking the right store to virtually draping the garment to know if it suits or not. This is an advancement moving way above from just 3D draping and in store trial room experience.
SoFia searches through all the stores in the city to find the clothes that fit and look the best on you that too at the lowest prices. It sends personal recommendations, based on consumer’s choice to consumer’s smart phone and creates a trial room on the phone, (Try in ‘Try & Buy’ happens on the phone) for the consumer to try on clothes to short list his selection. Additionally, SoFia allots a human fashion assistant for each individual consumer, who brings clothes to your convenient location for a physical try and buy.
