SmartKits from Windy City Wire are customized kits designed to streamline the ordering process and simplify the management of small parts in various projects. These kits allow integrators and AV professionals to bundle everything needed for a specific job into one cohesive package, eliminating the hassle of multiple orders and vendors.Each SmartKITcontains all your needed items neatly packaged and labeled, so that your installation process remains organized.

The process begins by logging in to your windycitywire.com account and heading over to the SmartKits dashboard. This dashboard is organized into sections like Your SmartKits, Company SmartKits, and the option to Create SmartKits. This organization provides a centralized hub for managing all kit-related activities.

• Your SmartKits section holds all the kits created and saved by you and your team, ensuring quick access and reuse for future projects.
• Company SmartKits serve as a master library, offering a standardized collection of kits that can be duplicated or modified for consistency across different projects. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining uniformity and efficiency within larger teams.

Creating a new SmartKIT is a straightforward process. Users can select categories, filter product offerings, and specify the quantity of each item needed. The platform supports an extensive range of commonly used items, but it also allows customization by contacting a sales representative for additional items to be added to the SmartKIT library. As kits are assembled, progress is auto saved, and upon completion, they can be added to the cart for ordering. The system is designed to streamline the ordering process by consolidating everything into a single order, which reduces the administrative burden and speeds up the procurement process. SmartKITs can also be emailed to other team members in case there are others on your team in charge of procurement.

One of the key advantages of using SmartKits is the ability to streamline project planning and small parts management. By having all necessary components organized in one kit, project managers can ensure that nothing is overlooked, which reduces the risk of missing items that could delay project timelines. This organization is especially useful in scenarios involving complex installations where the integration of various components is critical. Additionally, SmartKits facilitate better cost allocation by providing clear visibility into the project's material requirements, enabling more precise budgeting and financial management.

On job sites, SmartKits enhance installer efficiency by ensuring that all parts are readily available, minimizing downtime spent searching for components or waiting for deliveries. This availability is crucial in maintaining project momentum and meeting tight deadlines. Furthermore, having all parts pre-packaged and verified reduces the likelihood of errors during installation, contributing to a smoother workflow and reducing the need for rework. The labor savings from these efficiencies can be significant, allowing installers to complete projects more quickly and potentially take on additional work without increasing workforce size.
