Independent KBB Retailer/Designer/Merchant
 From the very first ArtiCAD system released in 1992, the needs of independent retailers, designers and merchants have been at the forefront of our minds.
ArtiCAD's Principals and Regional Account Managers have an extensive track record in KBB design and installation, with considerable experience in a retail or manufacturing environment.
In short, we understand your sales process and everything we do, every new software or service innovation is targeted to make it easier for you to sell:
For kitchen, bedroom or bathroom specialists, ArtiCAD-Pro is the result of 15 years' development aimed at helping KBB designers, retailers and manufacturers to generate more sales, faster and at less cost. ArtiCAD-Pro is specifically designed to help close more sales, accelerate the sales cycle, ensure accuracy of quotes and orders, and minimise remedial work.
Built on the same core as ArtiCAD-Pro, ArtiCAD-Lite provides a cost-effective entry-point solution but without the photo-realistic imaging and pricing capabilities.
BathCAD is a fully featured bathroom-specific design system priced appropriately for the bathroom trade.
No-one better understands your need for a highly accessible and responsive service capability and that's why ours is second to none. ArtiCAD's Training and Support Services are there to ensure that all our customers achieve the maximum return on their investment.

"In my view there is no better sales aid than ArtiCAD-Pro and I can't imagine working without it." - Eugene Stevenson, The Kitchen Cupboard.
"Using ArtiCAD-Pro to produce high quality designs and plans, plus detailed pricing means that we win 90% of all the business that we quote for, which is a phenomenally high success rate." - Dave Clue, DJ Clue & Son.
"We produce a bespoke product for our clients and therefore needed a system that would be easy to edit and to learn - after all, we are kitchen designers not computer experts." - Andrew Nichols, Andrew Nichols Interiors.
"I have tried lots of other products, and without doubt ArtiCAD is the fastest and easiest." - Hans Snajdr, ABCD Kitchen Design.

Newham Council in East London, under the aegis of its specialist property management operation, Newham Homes, is using ArtiCAD kitchen design software to help it achieve the government's Decent Homes 2010 standard.
"with ArtiCAD we can produce individual plans, fully coloured designs and bird's eye views while the tenants watch. It's good for tenant relations and, of course, it is much more professional." - Karen Collinson, property inspector and kitchen designer |
With a head office in Peterborough and six specialist showrooms, Premier Kitchens and Bedrooms is the largest independent retailer of its kind in the region.
"Although there are more and more CAD systems coming onto the market, we have never been tempted to move away from ArtiCAD. In all the years that we've been using it, we have never had a problem. But perhaps most important is the strength of the relationship we have developed with ArtiCAD. They have always been extremely helpful and are always there for us ' so why change" - Alison Forsythe, Premier Kitchens & Bedrooms

Founded some thirty years ago, Tecaz is a leading supplier of kitchens and bathrooms to the general public in the North East of England. The company prides itself on offering a huge choice of good designs at realistic prices from major manufacturers of doors and associated products.
"Using ArtiCAD to produce very visual, realistic designs, we no longer have situations where customers have, for example, expected to find a wine rack, only to be disappointed when the kitchen has been fitted and it is not where they thought it would be. For us, ArtiCAD has dramatically reduced the aggravation of customers thinking they've bought something which they haven't." - Ken Whyte, Tecaz |

ArtiCAD-Pro was installed over six years ago for Poole-based kitchen designer, Kitchen Elegance. Now AriCAD-Pro's sister product BathCAD is in constant use for the recently formed Bathroom Elegance.
"It's a competetive world out there. We need to make ourselves stand out from the crowd and in line with our ambition to be the top kitchen design company in the region, the combination of our long-standing reputation, our showroom and a powerful CAD product are all helping us to achieve this."

 Planet Bathrooms, Bedrooms & Kitchens (formerly known as Bathroom Planet) has installed the ArtiCAD-Pro design product to provide its customers with a more professional design service and to improve its competitive edge.
The choice of ArtiCAD-Pro represents the first time the company has used a CAD product. Darren Thomson at Planet: “When the company focused solely on bathrooms, we were able to rely on a very basic VR design product to produce plan views. However, with our move into supplying bedrooms and kitchens, we needed to be able to produce much more professional 3D designs. |
