Designing a total home just got super simple. With one configuration software tool, your clients can work with designers to draw the spaces that will ultimately make their house a home.
As a manufacturer or retailer of home products—we’re talking cabinets, tiles, lights, backsplash, flooring, deck materials and more—you want to ensure your customers have the best design support and overall buying experience.
CET Kitchen & Bath offers a win-win-win experience for manufacturers or retailers, designers and customers.
Five Benefits of CET Kitchen & Bath
CET Kitchen & Bath by Configura provides everything for building or remodeling a kitchen or bath in residential home. From flooring to cabinets to backsplashes, designers can easily click, drag and drop products into new-build or remodel design plans.
1 — Manufacturers add products—from 10 to 1,000 or more—into a smart catalogue.2 — All data are editable and interconnected—supporting your customers wherever they are in the sales cycle.
3 — Manufacturers’ products can live in a digital ecosystem that allow designers' easy access to search, review, select, draw, price and sell floorplans and designs.
4 — Designers need only look at one manufacturer or retailer’s product portfolio to outfit multiple rooms and areas throughout the home.
5 — Customers can participate in the design process seamlessly using real-time review sessions and other immersive rendering experiences available via Configura’s design tools.
Extraordinary renderings and immersive capabilities
Configura's smart software includes built-in calculation for production-ready bills of materials, as well as photo realistic renderings and even immersive rendering experiences using Twinmotion, a gaming-type rendering option.
Bonus, become part of the “total home” trend
In what is dubbed the “total home” trend, manufacturers are pivoting production processes slightly to help designers repurpose traditional kitchen and bath products for use in bedrooms, living rooms, entryways and more. What does that mean for manufacturers and retailers? Additional sales opportunities!
Same products, different applications
How? The core of the individual product—like a bathroom vanity—remains the same: the same wood, screws and other base-hardware can be used interchangeably. The difference comes when a designer can easily stretch a product's dimension in the planning process and place it in other areas of a home within a design. A bathroom vanity may be resized and used as a living room tv stand or mini bar in the basement entertainment center, for example.
The “total home” trend offers a simple shift in how kitchen and bath products can be used; helping designers create cohesive floor plans for clients that ultimately lead to additional product orders for kitchen and bath manufacturers. And we can’t stress this enough—it's all possible in one base tool: CET Kitchen & Bath.
For example, instead of asking a designer to source a kitchen cabinet, bathroom vanity base, entryway wardrobe closet and built-in television stand using different products or manufacturers, the designer can simply stretch the dimensions of one manufacturer’s reconfigurable kitchen cabinet to fit all the other intended spaces in a design.
Configurable products are ideal in the current kitchen and bath market. Ensuring designers and customers have easy access to everything they need to outfit an entire home is no small feat.
