01How dohma works

Five steps between a photo and a confident plan.

01
Capture

The customer scans a QR code at the counter and starts with a photo of the space, a room or the whole exterior. No app install required.

02
Understand

Dohma asks about the home, surfaces, style preferences, existing materials, and project goals.

03
Curate

The system narrows the field into a small set of palettes that make sense together.

04
Review

Your team can adjust the direction around the products, brands, sheens, and practical details your store actually sells.

05
Share

The customer leaves with a project-ready plan: colors, surfaces, products, and next steps.

02Counter + customer workflow

Built around the way you actually sell paint.

Dohma is not a standalone homeowner app. It starts at the counter, guides the customer through the messy part of the decision, and turns the session into a paint plan your team can review, fulfill, and follow up on.

For the customer

A clearer path from “I don’t know what I want” to a palette they can actually test.

For the salesperson

A faster way to understand the project, narrow the options, and recommend the right next step.

For the owner

A record of project intent: colors considered, products recommended, samples suggested, and follow-up opportunities.

03What stores see at the counter

The business case should show up at the counter.

Dohma is built around the numbers paint shop owners already care about: fewer stalled color conversations, more project-ready plans, better product recommendations, and more useful project follow-up.

01
Sample conversion

How many guided sessions turn into sample purchases or next-step plans.

02
Product recommendation

Whether the recommended product line, sheen, and finish make it into the project plan.

03
Staff time

How much faster the team can move from vague preference to focused recommendation.

04
Follow-up

How many projects leave behind enough context for a useful call, email, or contractor handoff.

04The paint problem

Customers don’t need more chips. They need direction.

Most color conversations don’t stall because your store lacks options. They stall because the customer can’t translate a project photo, a vague preference, and a wall of color chips into a confident next step.

chip 01
Overwhelmed

Thousands of colors and changing light, plus everything the paint sits next to: cabinets, counters, floors, trim, roof, stone. The decision starts to feel bigger than the project.

chip 02
Time-consuming

Your best color guidance often depends on your most experienced people, usually while the counter is already busy.

chip 03
Uncertain

Customers leave with chips instead of a plan, then delay, drift, or lose the product decision later in the project.

05New shop pilot

Start with one counter, not a store-wide rollout.

Start with one counter workflow and one QR code, for interior, exterior, or both. Dohma helps your team guide the customer from photo to project-ready plan, then tracks what happened next.

01
Set up the flow

A QR or NFC prompt at the counter and a store-specific color workflow, configured around the brands and product lines you actually sell.

02
Review real sessions

Your team sees customer photos, stated preferences, the palettes Dohma suggested, and the product recommendations that followed, before anything leaves the store.

03
Measure the next step

Track sample plans, product recommendations, follow-ups, and how each customer moved through the color decision after the counter conversation.

No app install, no store-wide change. Early pilots are short, paid, and cancellable.
06Shop owner FAQ

Common questions from shop owners.

We’ve heard most of these before. Happy to talk through anything else.

No. Dohma is designed to run from a QR or NFC prompt at the counter, directly in the customer’s browser.
