Kuvr® Knowhow

Our Knowhow section is an informal knowledge hub to help share information about Kuvr® products with our customers, mostly in video form as you'll see below. 

Quite often — and particularly in the midst of a pandemic — we find it really helpful to create video replies to questions that might otherwise be a little difficult to explain in writing.

This generally means one of the team here (or even a willing customer!) will go and shoot a quick explainer video using their smartphone. These clips ultimately end up here in the hope that they can help you too.

You can also find more answers to frequently asked questions in our FAQ section. For anything else feel free to get in touch.

A word of warning: these aren't necessarily highly polished product videos. They're rough and ready for the most part, and exist primarily to help educate!
