20-20 TECHNOLOGIES INTERIOR DESIGN SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
While other construction software developers focus on a building’s external structure, 20-20 Technologies’ family of computer-aided design-based sales software and manufacturing solutions focus on helping builders transform houses into homes. All the Laval, Quebec-based vendor’s applications operate on a single software platform for both desktop and Internet users, simplifying both product development and user training across its range of programs.
The vendor’s interior design software applications feature photo rendering, 3D visualization capabilities and specification features, according to 20-20 Technologies. Solutions include business-to-client applications for online design and sales; business-to-business solutions for electronic order-processing and e-procurement, as well as integration for enterprise resource planning (ERP) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP) systems, the vendor said.
20-20 Technologies addresses cabinet, casegood and fixture manufacturing with products for design and layout; engineering and manufacturing management and optimization; nesting, and machining.
