From design to cash, without the chaos.

Avanto runs commercial interiors operations as a managed service. The industry workflow has twelve stages from readiness assessment through invoicing, and Avanto runs ten of them: specification, quoting and PDF to SIF, order entry and acknowledgement comparison, order management, logistics, installation coordination, punch list closeout, warranty, and billing. Avanto also runs the finance back office, covering accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping and close, HR admin, and controller support. The work is delivered by Avanto's team on top of the systems you already use.

Strata is Avanto's AI-driven knowledge base and system of action for commercial interiors. It connects the data, workflows and decisions that today sit in separate platforms, and turns them into coordinated action without replacing the systems your company already runs. Strata is the software layer; Avanto's team is the operating layer that runs the work inside it.

PDF-to-SIF conversion turns a static PDF quote or specification document into SIF, the Standard Interchange Format used across commercial interiors software. Once a document is in SIF, product, quantity and pricing data can move directly into a dealer's ERP without anyone retyping line items. Avanto performs this conversion at stage 3 of the workflow, quoting and proposal, and it is a standard feature of Strata for every client.

No. Strata layers on top of the platforms your team already works in, including Hedberg, e-manage|ONE, NetSuite, CORE, CET Designer and 20-20 CAP. Data typically flows both ways, so your people keep working in the tools they know. Where a system has no API, Avanto integrates by file exchange, email capture, or RPA. Nothing gets ripped out.

Two of the twelve stay with you: stage 1, lead generation and business development, and stage 6, manufacturing or production. Those remain client-led because they depend on relationships and plant capacity that belong to you. Avanto keeps full visibility into both so your data stays intact end to end.

Five managed service families, each available at three levels of depth: AP support (vendor bills, check runs, GL coding, 1099s), AR support (invoicing, cash application, collections, AR reporting), bookkeeping and financial close (bank recs, sales tax, WIP, month-end close), HR admin support (payroll, onboarding, benefits, Form 5500), and controller support (board reporting, budget and forecast, ERP admin, lender reporting). Levels 1 to 3 scale from transaction processing through to controller-level oversight, independent of the workflow stages.

Start with the five-minute readiness quiz, which scores where your operations stand today. The full Readiness Assessment is a four to six week engagement that maps every one of the twelve stages as it actually runs, classifies each bottleneck by impact, prioritizes what to automate in what order, and attaches an ROI projection. The deliverable is a prioritized automation roadmap, produced before anything gets automated.
