The annual Ed Spaces show is still months away, and while it may seem early to focus on the education and pedagogy opportunity, we feel differently. Educational leaders across North America are already focused on outfitting spaces where students of all ages learn and thrive. As a manufacturer, delivering furnishings and tools to the education sector, it’s go-time. Ensuring an engaging product configuration experience for potential customers and streamlining the quote-to-order process for your sales team are key opportunities to differentiate yourself in an increasingly crowded group of manufacturers, and we can help.
Specifying for the Education Sector
Facilities managers throughout the education sector have unique considerations and criteria when selecting furnishings for the educational sector. Classrooms, common spaces, and social spaces have evolved to be more flexible, engaging, and stimulating. Ensuring your product specification toolkit includes visualization tools is a great first step toward enabling current and potential customers to quickly see, price, and order your products.
Showcasing Unique Products for Specialized Spaces
Visualization tools are just the beginning. Yes, education spaces designers have design boards filled with images of configured products under consideration. Basic images with general features, materials, and finishes only tell part of the story. A CPQ 3D Product Configurator helps facilities managers plan better, and specifiers provide the visuals and pricing that help justify the investment, showcase products in spaces, and deliver a complete proposal that helps manufacturers win the opportunity time and again. Manufacturers with a 3D CPQ Product Configurators experience an increased quote-to-win rate and repeat business from their Dealer distribution channel.
