Dot-it-yourselfers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. One look at the new fischer app is sufficient when they need to affix something. Under the name “Product Finder”, it quickly shows the user the required product. Whether at the hardware store or the specialist supplier, it finds the right anchor immediately.

The “Product Finder” offers the user three options: advice, a barcode scanner and dealer locator. The starting point is via the respective application. First of all, the user is asked what kind of object they would like to affix: a lamp, picture or fridge, for example.

The next step is all about the subsurface. What type of construction material is the object to be anchored into: concrete, masonry with solid bricks or perforated bricks, porous concrete (gas concrete), drywall and many more. Once the user has entered this information, the app gives a product suggestion. In addition to the suggestion, the user receives a variety of additional information about the suggested anchor: a description, assembly instructions including drill sizes and borehole depth, for example, technical data and, last but not least, a short video about the product suggested by the app. Furthermore, the user can choose between different packaging variants, such as with or without a screw or a hook.

If the user is satisfied with this selection and chooses to make the purchase, they simply need to pick it from the shelf of the hardware store and take it to the checkout. If the user is on the go, they can enter their location to search for the closest dealer who stocks the required product. The app gives them the contact details while the route planner gives directions.

fischer’s “Product Finder” additionally offers a variety of useful tips and tricks for its users: the app contains information about construction materials in general and on how to correctly drill (rotation drill, impact drill or hammer drill) into various construction materials.
