Configura Announces Launch of CET Designer Extension for OFS Brands
Configura, maker of CET Designer software, today announced that the CET Designer Extension for OFS Brands products has launched. OFS Brands based in Huntingburg, Indiana, manufactures furniture, cabinetry and seating for office, healthcare, education, government and home office markets around the world.
“One of our biggest goals is to make sure we’re giving our dealers and designers the tools they need to be able to sell our products, and CET Designer is perfect for that,” OFS Brands eTools Developer Steven Dunn said.
OFS Brands became a Configura partner in June when work began on developing the Extension. CET Designer is Configura’s “core” Parametric Graphical Configuration (PGC)-based software platform; an Extension is an addition to the program with functionality that incorporates all of the rules, parts and pricing of a given manufacturer’s products. Manufacturers invest in proprietary CET Designer Extensions to make selling products easier, faster and more accurate.
“We partnered with Configura because CET Designer offers a simple approach to specifying option-rich products,” OFS Brands Technology Manager Wes Harper noted.
Configura had surveyed its CET Designer users around the globe, and many said they wanted OFS Brands included in CET Designer.
“We’re excited to offer OFS Brands products in CET Designer,” Configura Vice President Peter Brandinger said. “More products in CET Designer give dealers and customers more choices to meet their space-planning needs.”

About CET Designer®
Based on technology created by Configura, CET Designer® is intelligent, highly visual and intuitive space-planning software that simplifies specifying and selling of products in a variety of industries. It’s a complete solution that quickly and accurately handles every step of the sales and order process. In CET Designer®, components that represent manufacturers’ products look and behave like actual products. Users drag and drop components into 2D and 3D virtual environments; behind the scenes, the software tracks components, calculates pricing and prevents user errors. Users can create and generate layouts, quotes, photorealistic renderings, movies, installation drawings, reconfigurations and bills of materials – in other words, everything needed to propose on work and place orders. CET Designer® is the future of space planning. More information at www.configura.com/cet.
