Your Storefront is more than just a branded portal to your products – it’s a way to engage designers! New product launches with “office hours” for questions, surveys, sign-ups for virtual lunch-n-learns, sample ordering and a centralized Q+A with designers (so you can answer questions ONCE and not a hundred times!).
It’s also a powerhouse for telling your story, providing immersive experiences into your showroom, manufacturing or virtual tours of projects that showcase your products. Use your storefront for managing samples orders from designers, centralizing Rep communications and more – imagination is your only limit! This is where you will soon be able to see how your products rate with different standards (either owner or firm-specific as well as building rating systems) automatically (if we manage your data).
Below is an example of a storefront that is not yet fully configured – as you would see it in your back-end editing tool! Storefronts have different modules that you can set up with images, text, video and “action” buttons like a button for designers to order samples, contact sales reps, or connect to our Marketplace & Global Buyer’s Club!
Below you see v1 of your product management dashboard. We are adding even more features! If you use our Data Exchange (two-way data flow) there’s virtually nO maintenance you need to do! If we digitally connect to your IT systems, any updates you do for your own website automatically updates ours – and any certification that updates from the source certifier – we auto-update to your IT systems. You can always report bugs (or certification issues) and add details, technical sheets, etc.
For manufacturers who have a small number of SKUs and use Catalog Display (instead of Data Exchange Services), you can create your products and connect them to the 3rd party certifications that already exist in our database. You can also upload documentation that is not from 3rd party certifications such as affidavits or independent verifications.
(10) VIEW PRODUCT EDITOR: you can switch between a tile view and longer view, or create a new product.
(11) DETAIL EDITOR: this is going to continue to expand. This is the place where you will also be able to see how your products benchmark to mM’s CMF, to any firms internal standards, or rating systems such as LEED, WELL, LBC, etc. What you see in the image above is likely to change fairly quickly with new updates.
