Scanner & Capture Devices
Fotomerchant
The Fotomerchant Scanner & Capture Devices are designed specifically to streamline the image capture and management process for professional photographers. The Capture Device logs images as they are taken, immediately uploads them to the cloud and catalogues them, revolutionising the work flow for professionals and saving hours of post shoot work.

Deep Integration
The vision for these Fotomerchant products was to integrate with existing equipment so the products had to both look great and be clearly part of a professional product ecosystem, but most importantly not get in the way of the core creative process.
Katapult developed designs that were versatile and universal in nature, whilst being distinctive in look, to ensure they were easily recognisable in a crowded market segment.
Refining the UX
So much of what we do at Katapult is user focused. Understanding the nuances of a product ecosystem are crucial to making genuine breakthroughs when designing new products. For Fotomerchant we built multiple rounds of prototypes, with increasing fidelity and performance, to allow their team to test and refine the solution.
Tell a Story
As a startup developing a product that was opening up a whole new category, Fotomerchant needed to tell a story. Katapult optimised the 3D CAD used for prototype and production, then created photorealistic visuals used for marketing and product PR prior to launch.
