New CounterVision Web Tool Simplifies Surfacing Selection
While Streamlining
Fabrication Process
Enables countertop
fabricators, distributors and designers to show clients the final project with
digital photographs of real products in one sales call meeting
(Novi,
Mich. – September XX, 2006) – CounterVision, a joint venture between Chameleon Power and ETemplate Systems, launches today. With CounterVision, the fabricator can use an uploaded online image
of the client’s actual home to display countertop options as they would appear
in the actual room. It also allows fabricators to measure and quote the
customer in the same visit, reducing the cost and inconvenience of multiple
home visits during the selection and fabrication process.
Countertop and stone distributors as well
as suppliers can load their own product materials or slab images to the CounterVision tool to allow their customers to select right
from their Web site, order online and then request a meeting to confirm the
selection in the showroom.
CounterVision is plugged into
the Web site navigation of the fabricator or distributor and is populated with
the products and materials they supply. The field salesperson or templater can photograph the project and load the image to a
computer during the appointment.
“CounterVision gives
fabricators the freedom to offer countertop surfacing, flooring, wall colors
and other complimentary surfacing to painlessly expedite the selection
process,” said
Dan Dempsey
, CEO of Chameleon
Power. “The fabricator can now use one image as the template for the actual
countertop measurements and as the selection photograph.”
The Web portal version, www.countervision.com, is a service that will generate leads
for participating fabricators, distributors and designers. Homeowners and
designers will view materials and projects, have the option to load their own
image for decorating online and request referral to a local distributor or
fabricator.
“Fabricators will be able to photograph, measure and quote the homeowner in one visit,
while the homeowner selects materials to finalize the transaction,” said
Paul Hansen
, CEO of ETemplate Systems. “We are combining proven technologies to benefit the industry,
providing a total solution to enhance the way countertop surfacing is specified
and sold.”
