Frequently asked questions

What does Avanto do for furniture manufacturers?

Avanto runs nine of the twelve stages of the commercial interiors workflow for manufacturers: the initial operations assessment, catalog capability maintenance, RFQ intake and quote generation including PDF to SIF conversion, purchase order intake and acknowledgement issuance, production status reporting to dealers, shipment notifications, punch list resolution and project closeout, warranty claims fulfillment, accounts receivable including dealer invoicing, cash application, and collections, and fully automated accounts payable.

Does Avanto replace our ERP?

No. Strata sits on top of the platforms you already run rather than competing with them, integrating with industry-standard systems. Data flows between Strata and your ERP automatically, so your team keeps its system of record and gains a connected view across dealers, reps, and installers.

How does Avanto improve communication with dealers and reps?

Avanto's Strata software centralizes dealer orders, automates order acknowledgments, and provides real-time tracking and reporting across your entire dealer network. Updates push directly to rep CRM tools — eliminating the phone calls, email follow-ups, and manual status checks that slow down manufacturer-dealer communication.
