Industry Problem
Legacy desktop spec tools slow down dealers and lock manufacturers into expensive, rigid ecosystems.
- High friction: Installs, license servers, version conflicts.
- Slow onboarding: Catalog build-outs take weeks or months.
- Limited collaboration: Files on desktops, not in the cloud.
- Data silos: Difficult integrations with ERP/CRM/e-commerce.
Dealers need speed; manufacturers need adoption and insight.
- Time-to-quote: Lost deals due to slow specs.
- Catalog control: Hard to update finishes, pricing, variants.
- Lack of analytics: No visibility into whatÂ’s selling.
- Global reach: Desktop software limits market expansion.
