Since March, schools around the world have closed their doors forcing administrators, teachers, and students to adapt to learning and teaching virtually. These drastic measures taken by governments all over the world have taken 1.37 billion students out of the classroom and into a remote learning curriculum. While these efforts were necessary, indispensable, and crucial in helping reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus, students, parents, and staff are left in the dark as to what are the next steps and the future of the school system.

"With The KITS collaborator we were able to engage our client and quickly close a deal on a Principal’s office! By presenting our solution on KITS, we were able to show the customer several angles and explain the storage pieces with supporting visuals. It can be challenging to help clients imagine what solutions are possible in their space, but with KITS our client was able to understand what her office would look like and how it would function. We were able to build confidence in the client which led to faster decision making, and the project was installed in about 4 weeks! KITS makes it so easy and fast…no more “waiting in line” for your renderings! I’m a raving fan!"

"In the beginning I had to cut & paste pictures of the products, do line drawings of the office space with the furniture line drawn and have the client imagine all of this is their space. Then I got the Kits Collaborator! Now I can show clients exactly what their space will look like without having to imagine it. What a game changer, I can make changes to the layouts instantly while talking with them. Change finishes or sizes or complete product changes. And what a time saver by having the current list prices as I build the office. What a great program!"
