For Dealers
Dealer Services · Spec to Close
From the first spec to financial close, Avanto works the dealer's side of the workflow: building specs, comparing pricing, tracking orders, receiving product, closing punch lists, and reconciling the paperwork that keeps projects profitable.
Every stage of the industry workflow, in order. Highlighted stages are the ones Avanto runs today.

Avanto runs nine of the twelve stages of the commercial interiors workflow for dealers: the initial operations assessment, catalog research and pricing comparison, quoting including PDF to SIF conversion and multi-manufacturer proposals, purchase order submission with line-by-line acknowledgement comparison, project tracking between order and install, shipment alerts and warehouse receiving, punch list closeout and customer sign-off, warranty and MAC coordination, and customer invoicing with cash application and collections.
An acknowledgement, or ACK, is the manufacturer's confirmation of a purchase order. Discrepancies between the PO and the ACK, such as a changed finish, quantity, price, or ship date, are common and easy to miss when orders are checked by eye. Avanto compares acknowledgements against your POs line by line and flags differences early, which protects margin and keeps installation timelines intact rather than surfacing the problem on the dock.
No. Strata sits on top of the platforms you already run rather than competing with them, integrating with industry-standard dealer systems. Data flows between Strata and your ERP automatically, so your team keeps its system of record and gains a connected view across manufacturers, reps, and installers.
Yes. Beyond the workflow stages, Avanto runs the finance and admin functions behind them: fully automated accounts payable and vendor bills, W-9s and 1099s, bank and credit-card reconciliation, sales tax, commissions, work in process, and month-end close, along with payroll and HR administration and controller-level reporting.
Let's walk through your workflow stage by stage and show you exactly where Avanto plugs in, starting with the stages that cost your team the most time today.
