The basics

What is Showlot?

Showlot generates photorealistic renders of outdoor projects — pools, pavers, pergolas, landscaping — directly on your client's property, from nothing more than their address. It's the visual argument that helps close the sale on the spot.

How does it work?

Enter the client's address: Showlot fetches the property's satellite and street imagery. Configure the project — from a catalogue model or fully custom —, launch the render, then share the before/after result with your client.

Do I need photos of the property?

No — the address is enough. You can still upload your own photos to enrich the render, especially where public imagery is outdated.

Which regions are covered?

Showlot is built for Quebec. Precision varies with available imagery: some areas benefit from high-resolution orthophotos that make renders even more faithful.

The renders

Are the renders faithful to reality?

Renders are grounded in the property's real imagery and in the product chosen from your catalogue. They remain AI-generated concept visualizations: dimensions and placements are indicative and do not replace technical drawings.

How long does a render take?

Usually under a minute. You follow the progress live and can relaunch as many variants as you need.

Can I correct or adjust a render?

Yes. From a finished render, tweak specific aspects — water colour, coping, lighting, landscaping — or describe the change in free text, then regenerate.

Can I use the renders with my clients?

Yes, freely in your commercial activities: quotes, presentations and communications. Present them as visualizations, not as a contractual commitment about the result.

Account, sharing and data

How do I share a render with my client?

Every render can be shared through a secure, revocable public link — carrying your branding — or sent directly by email from Showlot.

How much does it cost?

The account includes free trial renders at sign-up. Paid plans will be announced ahead of any change.

Can I work as a team?

Yes. Accounts are organized per company: invite your colleagues and give them distinct roles.

What do you do with my clients' data?

Only what the service strictly needs: the property address and imagery, stored in a private space and served through short-lived signed links. The full details are in our privacy policy.
