Our system continuously learns from designer and customer selections, improving recommendations over time while staying current with UK market trends and availability.
UK Material Market Integration
Olyra AI is uniquely integrated with the UK building materials ecosystem:
- UK Supplier Network: Direct integration with major UK retailers including B&Q, Wickes, Homebase, and Screwfix ensures accurate pricing and availability
- Building Regulations Compliance: All recommended materials meet UK building regulations for fire safety, thermal performance, and accessibility
- Regional Availability: The system accounts for regional supply variations across the UK, ensuring recommendations are locally available
- Brexit-Adjusted Supply Chain: Our AI factors in post-Brexit supply chain considerations, prioritizing materials with stable UK availability
This integration addresses a critical pain point in the UK renovation market, where material selection typically requires visits to multiple retailers and significant research time.
