How is TileLens different from Google Lens?

Google Lens searches the entire public internet — showing random products, competitor websites, or international stores you don't stock. TileLens searches ONLY within your own existing tile & ceramic catalog. When a customer shows you a photo, TileLens finds products you actually have in stock and can sell right away.

Why is searching our own catalog more beneficial than public search?

Public image search distracts customers with products they cannot buy from you. By searching strictly within your private catalog, TileLens helps your sales team immediately confirm stock, quote prices, and recommend in-stock alternatives without losing the customer.

What happens if the exact tile in the photo is out of stock or discontinued?

TileLens automatically finds 2 to 3 visually similar tiles from your active inventory with matching color tones, patterns, and surface finishes. This lets your sales team offer an immediate alternative rather than saying 'we don't have it'.

How do we add our tile & ceramic catalog to TileLens?

It's simple. You can share your product spreadsheet / CSV with photos, or connect your existing ERP/inventory system. Our team sets up your visual search in just a few days with zero technical hassle.

Can our field sales reps use TileLens on WhatsApp or counter tablets?

Yes. Your sales reps can forward customer photos directly to our WhatsApp or Telegram bot on job sites, or use our clean web screen on showroom tablets to find matching tiles in under 2 seconds.

How is pricing decided?

Pricing is customized based on your catalog size and team requirements. Simply fill out our quick demo form, and we will schedule a short inquiry call to understand your needs and provide the best tailored plan.

Case Study: How Ambani Ceramic Accelerated Dealer Sample Inquiries Across 300 Showrooms

Background

Ambani Ceramic produces over 8,000 active ceramic designs, vitrified tiles, and polished slabs. With a distribution network of more than 300 retail showrooms and trade dealers, their technical sales desk received hundreds of WhatsApp photos every day from showroom staff asking: "Which series is this tile from?"

The Bottleneck

Senior colorists and product managers were spending up to 3 hours every day manually checking older print binders and factory batch numbers to confirm tile collections. Dealers had to wait hours for confirmation before giving quotes to builders.

The Solution with TileLens

Ambani Ceramic connected their digital product catalog to TileLens and gave all 300 dealers access to the visual search portal and WhatsApp bot.

Results

•94% reduction in inquiry lookup time: Dealers receive exact SKU matches in under 2 seconds.

•Immediate alternative suggestions: When a specific finish is in production run, the system automatically suggests 2 identical in-stock alternatives.

•Zero staff training needed: New showroom sales associates began identifying any Ambani ceramic design accurately on their first day.
