AVAD control
and automation dealers across the US and Canada to launch Savant Studio and
Savant Central Management cloud-based tools
Scottsdale, Ariz. – July 23, 2018
–
AVAD LLC,
North America’s leading provider of
solutions to the residential and commercial custom installation markets,
announces a strategic partnership with Savant to showcase a broad range of
smart home products based on Savant Studio and Savant Central Management. For
this initiative, AVAD will provide sales, logistics, and award-winning support
services to their network of dealers in the United
States and Canada beginning on August 1st.
Savant has selected AVAD as an exclusive distribution partner for Savant
Central Management and Savant Studio, a groundbreaking new cloud-based
configuration and management software that will enable AVAD dealers to deliver
superior smart home systems to a broad range of consumers. This amazing
technology dramatically simplifies system configuration, which can be deployed
remotely from an iPad, and proactively alerts integrators to service
opportunities before a problem arises. And, with Savant Central Management,
AVAD dealers and their clients can feel confident knowing that they are
protected by time-stamped, permission-based secure access to vital systems. The
AVAD/Savant partnership will also provide existing Savant dealers with regional
access to hardware as well as technical support and customer service thanks to
AVAD’s physical presence in major markets.
“Savant Central Management and Savant Studio are transformative innovations
that greatly simplify the configuration and deployment process for control and
automation systems,” explained JC Murphy, Executive Vice President at Savant.
“We are excited to deliver entry-level smart home systems featuring an
unprecedented array of functionality and services along with the most intuitive
user experience available through AVAD and their network of dealers.”
Select AVAD dealers are participating in a pilot program to test the Savant
Central Management and Savant Studio, prior to the official launch on August 1st.
Program participant, Sharif Jackson of Media Wiring Solutions explained his
experience: “I found the iPad app for Savant Studio to be very user friendly.
The set-up process, problem detection and resolution, and deployment of the
system was very efficient. Savant allows me to send my technicians to install
equipment with a clear roadmap. Using the Savant Central Management tool makes
it easy to troubleshoot and make changes to a system without going into the
field.”
The partnership between AVAD and Savant will provide smart home consumers,
including a growing number of first-time automation users, with unmatched
functionality and the most intuitive user experience available to control
lighting, climate, entertainment and more. Savant will work closely with AVAD
to approve new dealers while providing them with a synergistic smart home
solution for their customers that is reliable, repeatable, scalable and
profitable. AVAD’s 20 locations, which
have all received comprehensive training from Savant, will display and stock a
full line of Savant products as well as provide support from system design to
help expand and bundle solutions. Savant will also be participating in AVAD’s
1-2-3 Rewards Program.
“Savant is recognized throughout the consumer electronics and custom
installation industry for their luxury, award-winning control solutions,” said Jon
Zabel, Vice President of Sales and Vendor Management for AVAD. “We’re pleased
to announce our strategic partnership including a successful pilot program of
the Savant Central Management and Savant Studio with many of our dealers. Our
strong presence in the marketplace positions Savant with an extensive customer
reach throughout North America. We look forward to a successful, prosperous
partnership with Savant.”
