Smart Shutter Features

Here's just some of what Smart Shutter can do for you:

Customer Tracking - Instantly track all of your customers in categories such as Retail, Wholesale, Designers, Builders, Architects and more. The system will even distinguish among your various customized pricing models.
Job Tracking - No jobs will ever slip through the cracks with Smart Shutter. Every single one gets finished on time, and you'll know exactly where each job is throughout the entire production cycle.
Scheduling - How would you like to easily set - and then manage - your sales appointments, your measurement appointments and even your installs for multiple salespeople and installers, whether or not they're in the same area or in completely different regions? You can easily do this with Smart Shutter.
Customer Service - The Smart Shutter customer service module contains a complete task manager that ensures every single detail gets attention. Superior customer service is what makes up-selling a breeze and dramatically increases your referrals.
Production - Simple to create cut lists allow you to optimize your material usage, cutting your waste in half. You can even process cut lists directly into machinery to eliminate all cutting errors.


Purchasing and Inventory - Completed in just minutes, accurate purchase orders produced with Smart Shutter will minimize your total cost of inventory and the time it takes to track that inventory as it gets released to fill orders.
Reporting - You no longer need to be a huge company to know - at a glance - what the true costs are for each aspect of your business. Reporting features in Smart Shutter Software allow you to follow what goes on within your factory, including how much work the production floor needs well in advance to stay on pace for installs and to keep production from missing deadlines.
Sales Commission and Installer Pay - Before Smart Shutter, it would likely take you several hours each month to track and determine all of your commissions to salespeople, as well as accurate pay for installers, including mileage. Now it's a breeze to manage, taking just a few moments each month.
Job Pricing - Smart Shutter allows you to price as Retail, Wholesale, Designer, Builder or Commercial, and then customize pricing with your own style of grid, or by the square foot - or both - for various types of jobs and customers.
Accounts Receivable - With more accurate - and timely - tracking of all payments, you'll add to your cash flow and increase your bottom line almost overnight. The Smart Shutter Software allows you to customize for special discounts and to instantly know the C.O.D. amount for each job.
Sales and Marketing - After growing our own retail operations for over 30 years, we've got the experience to help our Fabricator Partners throughout the country do the same. Our explosive growth is due, in part, to the aggressive marketing programs that we've tried and tested ourselves over time. We now share these marketing tools and techniques with our Fabricator partners, helping to tailor marketing plans to fit just about any company's vision.
Shop Layout and Configuration - Do you know the "7 Steps to Eliminate Waste in Your Window Coverings Shop?" We operate the most efficient shutter factory in the industry, and we'll show you how to design and configure your shop to maximize your space and your labor efficiency.
Installation - Provides regular installation training for you and your growing installer staff, as well as monthly installation tips. And our Design and Measure Manual will make it easier to design the best possible shutter option for the customer, while eliminating potential errors in the installation process. This training and support guide will increase the communication between your salespeople, production department and installers. This will naturally improve the installation of shutters within the home.
Ongoing Research and Development - Since creating Thermalite Shutters in 1987, has proven itself to be the industry leader in innovative products and technology. We've continued to improve our Thermalite product line, our Smart Shutter Software, and our B.E.S.T. program in order to give TSFA members the advantages they'll need to succeed in the competitive custom shutter industry.
