| |  |  | | | | Customer Examples Some of CHI-LLC's applications are being utilized by our customers and are available for you to view, try out and use. They will provide you with a good "demo" of our design-visualize-order technology. Herman Miller Z-Axis® Z-Axis software allows you to visualize spaces large and small in great detail, share your workplace vision across conference tables or continents, and when you're ready, generate error-free orders. With Z-Axis, the customer and their Herman Miller representative can lay out an office space -- including architectural features such as walls, doors, windows, and columns -- and dynamically create and place workstations within that space. Z-Axis generates 3-D images that can be dynamically rotated, offering a clear view of how the product will actually look. And furniture configuration rules for all Herman Miller furniture systems are built into the software, so there's no worry about ordering the right parts, connectors, file fronts, etc. From visualization to specification, Z-Axis helps assure that what you see is what you get. | | | | | | To learn how simple, quick and interactive the office-planning process can be visit Z-Axis in a Flash, which provides you with a Flash movie detailing the Z-Axis tool's capabilities. You can also download the Z-Viewer application developed by CHI-LLC which allows everyone in the planning process to visualize and evaluate proposed designs in 3D. As you view each 3D drawing, you can spin, examine, and share the rendered image with colleagues. You can even send the drawing back with your notes, comments, or questions. | |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | Closetmaid VSP™ (Visual Storage Planner) CHI-LLC developed VSP to provide ClosetMaid's online customers the ability to quickly design a storage solution for any room in the house using the hundreds of Closetmaid products. Visual Storage Planner allows the customer the flexibility to quickly "explore" various products in dynamic 3D using a pre-configured closet - or allows the creation of a closet with the customer's dimensions and the storage features they desire. VSP ensures that all designs are accurately configured with proper supports and all the necessary hardware. As the customer designs their custom storage area, a detailed shopping list is created -- ensuring the customer can easily find the ClosetMaid products on the first trip to their local Home Improvement store. Completed designs can be saved online for further revisions or for getting the required "spousal approval." | | | | | | Using the same code-base, CHI-LLC is developing a PC version of VSP for use by ClosetMaid's network of Dealers/Installers who work with ClosetMaid's premier product MasterSuite. This version of the tool will include powerful and flexible tools for Dealers to deliver quotes with 3D designs, exact specifications, and accurate pricing. VSP is exactly what ClosetMaid dealers need to close deals more quickly, at higher average prices, and with more satisfied customers who know exactly what they are getting!
