KEY FEATURES

What is Sigma?

The Sigma search function acts as your virtual assistant to help find the right Sandler product for your office design project. Here’s how it can help:

  • Search: Search for products by name or description, and use the filters to quickly narrow it down. You can then insert the fully functional model into your drawing.
  • Generative AI: Have an inspiration image of a product? Upload it and let Sigma recreate that inspiration in the Sandler product line. Or just type in what you are looking for, for example: “three-seater with table in the middle,” and let Sigma do all the work.
  • Sigma is just getting started and will have many more features to assist you, including:
    • Material search
    • Color palette generator
    • Typicals library

You can access Sigma in the Sandler extension via the Tools tab, the Sigma Search button, the hourglass icon, or within the specific modular product line sections. See it in action within the below video.

What other functionality can I expect from Sandler’s extension?

This extension provides full furniture specification capabilities, including:

  • Intuitive usability: Logic is built into modular furniture products, allowing for easy and accurate configuration
  • Stretching: Many products can be stretched to fit your design needs
  • Material application: All Sandler materials are available for specification and visual application, including fabrics. COM and COL (customer’s own material/leather) can also be specified
  • Full specification: The extension automatically generates a complete and accurate bill of materials (BOM) and quote as you design

What products are in the initial release?

The initial release includes the entire Inclass collection. It includes many contract furniture products, including modular sofas, meeting tables, task chairs, privacy screens, stackable chairs, occasional tables, and lounge furniture.

We are committed to continuously managing the Inclass collection to ensure that pricing and product offerings remain current.

What future product updates can I look forward to?

The next phase will go live in the near future. In it, we will introduce products from our Montbel, Volare, and Woodlook collections.

COMMERCIAL INTERIORS LIBRARY (CIL)

What is the Commercial Interior Library and how does it relate to Sandler?

The CIL is a Configura data repository that contains manufacturer catalog data. We are publishing our catalog data there to make our products available on other industry-specific software, including Spec, Aline (soon to be released by Configura), and various dealer business systems.

How do I access the Sandler Commercial Interiors Library?

If you use Spec software, you can access our product data and download the latest updates via Notify.

If your dealership uses a business system like Hedberg, Khameleon, or e-Manage | One, you will be able to access it directly within that system.
