Does Any Software Automatically Convert Manufacturer PDFs to SIF Files?
Strata converts manufacturer PDFs directly into SIF files — automatically, with no manual entry or reformatting required.
If you work in the contract furniture or commercial interiors channel, you already know the problem. Manufacturer product data arrives as a PDF. Your quoting and ordering systems need a SIF file. Between those two things sits a manual process that someone on your team is doing right now, copying spec data, reformatting fields, checking for errors, in every single order.
Strata eliminates that step entirely.
What is PDF to SIF conversion?
SIF (Standard Interchange Format) is the data format used by most dealer management and quoting systems in the commercial interiors industry — including Hedberg, ProjectMatrix, e-manage|ONE, and 2020 Worksheet. When a manufacturer provides product specs as a PDF, those specs have to be translated into SIF before they can flow into your system.
Traditionally, that translation is manual. Someone reads the PDF and re-enters the data. It's slow, error-prone, and scales poorly as order volume grows.
Strata automates the conversion. Upload the manufacturer PDF, and Strata produces a clean SIF file — ready to pass downstream into your existing systems.
Why does this matter for dealers and manufacturers?
For dealers, it removes one of the most persistent sources of administrative drag in the quoting process. Less time re-entering data means faster quotes, fewer errors, and more capacity for the work that actually moves deals forward.
For manufacturers, it means the product data you distribute lands correctly in dealer systems — without relying on each dealer to interpret and re-enter it accurately.
Strata clients report a 75% reduction in quoting time. PDF to SIF conversion is a significant part of why.
How does Strata handle this compared to other tools?
Most workflow automation platforms in the contract furniture space don't touch PDF to SIF conversion at all. It's a gap that tends to get solved — if it gets solved — through custom integrations, manual workarounds, or third-party tools bolted onto an existing stack.
Strata handles it natively, as part of a broader operations platform that covers quoting, order management, AP processing, shipping and logistics, and catalog management. The conversion isn't a standalone feature — it's one step in a connected workflow that runs from quote to cash.
Who is Strata built for?
Strata is purpose-built for the commercial interiors channel — dealers, manufacturers, rep groups, and installers working with systems like Hedberg, 2020 Worksheet, ProjectMatrix, e-manage|ONE, NetSuite, Epicor, and others. It currently supports 130+ clients processing $325M+ in monthly transactions.
