Salamander Designs Launches Next Generation Commercial Cabinet Designer For Instant, Virtual Creation of Award-Winning Furniture
New smart platform provides turnkey solution to design, price and quote custom cabinets, and integrates into Salamander’s systems for advanced manufacturing
Bloomfield, CT— June 7, 2022
Salamander Designs, manufacturer of award-winning, premium quality furniture for residential and commercial audio/video integration for nearly 30 years, today announced availability of a new tool for rapid, completely self-service design and quoting of Salamander enterprise cabinets. The new Commercial Cabinet Designer enables authorized integrators and representatives to collaborate with architects, space planners, IT teams and customers to fully design, preview and order custom cabinets in the fastest way imaginable. Further facilitating workflow, the Commercial Cabinet Designer tightly integrates with Salamander’s NetSuite Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) software system, automatically setting up new part numbers with pricing and creating detailed bills of materials. The new Cabinet Designer generates consumer-facing sales documentation for the integration company and factory-facing work instructions with visual aids to improve quality and efficiency.
This news comes on the heels of the recently launched Salamander Designs Residential Configurator for entertainment seating. Building on its history of innovation, Salamander was one of the first custom installation companies to deliver an online configurator system in the late 1990s for their Archetype and Synergy Cabinet solutions.
Today, enterprise technology integrators can use this unprecedented platform to design and demonstrate, in real-time and 3D, all aspects of Salamander Designs’ popular cabinets to customers. Together they can review colors, size, configuration, materials and specifications for turnkey customization, pricing and quoting, which dramatically speeds up the sales process. Commercial Cabinet Designer includes cabinets with single or dual display mounts, in all the company’s cabinet depths and styles. Specific Salamander cabinets can also be configured with personal footing or wall mounting in the initial launch.
The Commercial Cabinet Designer provides real-time pricing and quoting for registered dealers and representatives, enabling them to quickly and easily:
- Customize the company’s low profile, standard profile and deep technology cabinets
- Select footing or wall-mount options
- Choose colors, materials, shelving, ventilation and more
- Leverage exciting A/V integration tools for real-time specification of Salamander partner UC devices such as Crestron, Logitech, Cisco, Jabra, Aver, Poly, Huddly and others
- View exact cabinet camera and screen placement with included cameras or add their own camera and screen dimensions to create the perfect cabinet solution to meet their equipment needs
- Instantly generate a complete customer-facing design document showing cabinet images, specifications and details for trade partners and clients
- Create factory-facing work instructions with visual aids to confirm fast and precise order fulfillment
“Our new Cabinet Designer gives our integrators the competitive edge by significantly speeding up furniture design and procurement while creating a newfound level of confidence for all enterprise stakeholders,” said Scott Srolis, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Salamander Designs. “We’ve taken the customization of business furniture to a place it has never been before in our industry. Our platform makes it ultra-fast for technology integrators to excite clients, enabling them to visualize their cabinets in the most complete, accurate way. By eliminating questions and weeks of delays in the traditional design and sales process, decisions can now be made immediately. This solution is great for non-technical users, architects and designers, as they can see technology integration with the furniture and understand all the design options available to them.”
In addition to the extensive core features, Salamander’s Commercial Cabinet Designer includes the ability to configure and see cabinet interiors, rear panels, charging ports, wire management and even customize accessories such as footing and door locks. Additionally, Salamander will soon announce their new Level-Up Customization features for commercial cabinets including the ability to mix and match cabinet parts and materials to create all-new designs and looks.
Salamander Designs’ enterprise cabinets set the global standard for supporting today’s A/V and technology for businesses, retail, governmental and educational applications. The Cabinets are known for their ability to house all components, displays, power and more to enable more productive meetings, digital displays and video conferencing.
Added Scott, “The Commercial Cabinet Designer has been carefully developed with sophisticated rules and parameters for compatibility, so integrators can confidently help consumers design, price and order furniture along with documentation. Our automated system is developed to flow from the work order all the way to craftspeople who assemble the furniture by hand for an advanced manufacturing process. Coupled with our new Residential Seating Configurator, this is another major step on our exciting, self-serve design path. Our online design tools support partners and will continue to expand and encompass all of our beautiful, functional furniture in the coming year.”
