The Case for Smarter Product Knowledge Management

Every Principal at an architecture, engineering or interior design firm knows that the most profitable projects are the ones with the least amount of rework. Project managers and design teams know that the risk of rework is high when they’re squeezed on time and fees when trying to prepare a complete and coordinated set of product specs.

The way most firms conduct their product selection and coordination is outdated and costing them money. Disconnected Excel sheets, downloaded PDFs dumped in nested folders on a file server somewhere, and fragmented email conversations waste massive amounts of time and open up firms to tons of possible errors.

Sharing and connecting product information is a vital part of your work — it deserves a real-time, searchable, and visual solution, accessible anywhere. Arazoo is that solution.

When everything you need is well-organized for you, you can access it faster

Arazoo helps eliminate those “where did I put that?” moments

Saving all your product information in one searchable, browsable place lets you quickly find the right product, and get all the information you need. Hours spent chasing information and documents are wasted and take away from design work.

Arazoo lets you earn from your collective experience faster, to avoid costly mistakes

By automatically turning individual product experience into firm-wide knowledge, Arazoo lets everyone on your team learn what each one of you learns — and helps you stop making avoidable mistakes.

Arazoo makes your information accessible, which saves everyone time

Let’s face it, people come in and out of firms and projects all the time. You can’t afford to have a single person holding all the key product information in their head if they walk out the door — and the team can’t slow down to get a new member up to speed on firm standards or a given project’s history. That costs time, which costs money. Arazoo makes all that information and history accessible to everyone in the firm, from the 25 year veteran to the designer who started 25 minutes ago.

Using Arazoo for your product search, selection, and sharing streamlines the cumbersome product selection process, and turns what was once a chore and potential liability into an advantage for your firm.
