Benchmarx to Increase Efficiency With New Design Software

A leading UK kitchen supplier is updating its design software to increase the speed and level of service it can provide to its customers.

Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery, which is part of the Travis Perkins Group, has invested in new design software to vastly improve the pace at which its team members can produce kitchen designs, with the new drawings also far superior in quality.

The new software, ArtiCAD, will significantly boost Benchmarx’s operation, with it now being possible to plan and render a kitchen design in under 10 minutes, with the CGI designs giving customers state-of-the-art, realistic visuals.

The software will make it quicker to go from design to the final price, which will benefit both colleagues and customers.

The rollout of the ArtiCAD software has been three years in the planning and almost 300 team members across the country will have undertaken extensive training to use the tool by the time it reaches all branches by June.

ArtiCAD is also delivering in-person pop-up hubs to support Benchmarx colleagues nationwide to ensure a faultless transition from the previous software.

Rosie Wise, Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery Managing Director, said: “We are thrilled to now be using ArtiCAD for our kitchen designs.

“The rollout is currently under way and it is having a huge impact on our ability to service our customers more effectively in the branches already using it.

“The new software is user-friendly, and with our kitchen designers now able to plan and render kitchens so much quicker, both our homeowner and trade customers will see the benefits.

“With greater quality CGI designs, ArtiCAD is going to produce more visually engaging kitchen drawings, giving customers a more realistic view of the final product.

“With this exciting change to the way we operate, we have received a lot of support from ArtiCAD’s training team - as well as our own - to ensure all our designers and managers are comfortable with the software.”

Benchmarx has more than 130 branches nationwide, supplying kitchens and joinery for trade professionals and their customers.
