American Seating Launches Online Spec And Design Tools
1.26.10 | Grand Rapids, MI | American Seating, a leader in
innovative seating solutions for more than 120 years, today announced two new
cutting-edge interactive online customer support tools: The Focus Configurator
and the Specification “Spec” Builder. While each tool is
independent of the other and provides a different end use, they are similar in
one aspect: They both make it easier for customers to do business with American
Seating. Available at the company’s website www.americanseating.com, the Configurator allows for a multitude of
customizable design options, while the Spec Builder provides matching component
opportunities with the company’s Stellar and Majestic fixed seating
lines.
Unlike any tool in the industry today, the Focus Configurator provides busy architects and designers the ability to mix and match different seating components and features to create the ultimate higher education seating product of their choice from American Seating’s fixed lecture line, Focus. Users can choose from a wide variety of selections including:
- 2 tables
- 3 swing-away chairs
- 10 edge moldings
- 36 metal or wood modesty panels
- 9 metal or wood privacy screens
- power and data modules
- numerous fabric, paint, plastic, laminate and wood finishes
The program also provides animations, which effectively illustrate the seat’s height-adjustable and return-to-center features, as well as power and data systems. When complete, users can change views to see what their selection(s) look like from the front and back and then save their selection(s) as a pdf file to facilitate the ordering process. Focus Fixed Lecture product has been well received on campuses across the country, including Rutgers University, Miami University, the University of Houston, Baylor College of Medicine and Colorado State University.
The Spec Builder allows architects, designers, facility managers, general contractors and other specifying professionals to select product options that work together from the company’s Stellar® and Majestic® fixed seating lines, both of which provide seating solutions for indoor and outdoor entertainment environments. Spec Builder enables users to view images of the product as they choose options, such as different seat and back style selections.
After customizing their product, users receive a fully detailed and professional specification document that contains all necessary information needed to issue a product specification, including details on product performance, quality assurance, operation, construction and finishing treatments.
“American Seating has a long history of developing innovative and quality seating products. These new online tools now add a rich customer service element to our product expertise that makes it even easier for our customers to do business with us,” said American Seating Director of Marketing Deb McDermott. “Users of the Configurator will find that it is unlike any other online design tool in our industry today. Users of the Spec Builder will find it quick and easy to specify the exact fixed seating product they need, no questions asked.”
Perfect for lecture halls, computer labs or small class rooms, American Seating’s Focus fixed lecture product continues to be a leading seating solution for colleges and university environments due to its aesthetics, durability, comfort and flexibility.
American Seating’s Majestic and Stellar product lines are perfect options for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor facilities. Majestic primarily serves performing arts centers, opera houses and theatres, while Stellar is popular with outdoor sporting arenas and auditoriums.
