Chief Builds Mounts Online
Thursday, June 5th, 2008
Chief has adopted a new mount configurator on its site. 
As a complement to the MountFinder database, which links flat-panel and projectors with compatible mounts, MountBuilder helps visitors, mainly custom integrators, virtually build a set-up using the proper equipment.
MountBuilder automatically calculates things like weight capacity and drop distance as parts are added to a system. Integrators can create a log-in name and password, then save a configuration, and go back and edit parts or quantities at any time as the job changes. Once a configuration is completed, installers can create a PDF with a virtual image to include with a proposal, along with Chief’s Easy Bid Spec Form.
“We are often told by customers that we offer so many mount accessories and applications that it’s hard to know which accessories to choose for each application,” explained Laurie Englert, Director of Marketing at Chief Manufacturing. “With the goal of making this easier for the customer, the team went to work and came up with this incredible concept. We’ve shown it to customers and they are thrilled to get a visual tool of the many different options.”
