Kimball International Earns Innovative Extension Award During CET Experience Conference
Kimball International is proud to announce that they earned the Innovative Extension Award during Configura’s annual CET Experience conference. They won this award for their DesignSuite Integration extension, a part of the Kimball International extension. This highly regarded award recognizes innovative solutions that enhance the designer experience within existing technology. Kimball International earned the top honor for its DesignSuite Integration, a tool built directly within CET that connects designers with their design team and resources. This creates a more connected workflow from design support through the delivery of completed drawings back into CET.
“True innovation isn't always about creating something new,” said Jill Frazier, Director of Design Solutions and Digital Tools for Kimball International. “Sometimes, it's about finding better ways to connect the tools and resources designers already rely on. By integrating DesignSuite directly into CET, we're removing friction from the design process and creating a more seamless, connected experience. From accessing existing projects to submitting drawings for audit, we're bringing critical workflows together in one environment, allowing designers to spend less time navigating systems and more time focused on design. This recognition reflects our team's commitment to making design technology work smarter for the people who use it every day.”
The Configura Awards are held each year to honor top-tier developers, power users, and designers across the commercial interior and material handling industries. Kimball International’s victory places them at the forefront of design-tech innovation.
The DesignSuite Integration tool can be found directly within CET, creating a connected workflow that keeps project requests, documentation, drawings, and deliverables together throughout the design process. Designers can seamlessly access services such as Idea Starters, Quick Quote, Technical Design, and Audit without leaving their project environment, making collaboration and project validation more efficient.
