Configura partners with United Material Handling to develop Extension for CET

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.—May 3, 2021—Configura, a global software company and maker of CET, today announced it will partner with leading material handling manufacturer United Material Handling, Inc. to develop an Extension for CET.

“We had been looking for a solution that encompasses everything we do at United Material Handling and it wasn’t until we found Configura that I knew it was the right company to work with,” United Material Handling President/CEO Ryan Bartlett said. “CET’s ability to draw in 2D and 3D combined with the simplified process for counting bill of materials is exactly what we’re looking for in a solution and we’re excited to have a software that will make it easy to produce high-quality drawings and presentations for customers while reducing errors.”

Based in Moreno Valley, California, United Material Handling is one of the leading manufacturers of material handling solutions in North America and offers its products globally. United Material Handling produces innovative products and services that optimize warehouse operations including pallet rack, push back, carton flow, pallet flow, facility design, engineering services, permits, code compliance and much more.

Working together, Configura and United Material Handling will develop an Extension for CET Material Handling, which is Configura’s industry-focused solution that brings salespeople, project managers and engineers together into one software to design, build, implement and sustain material handling solutions. The Extension will be used internally by United Material Handling’s team including design engineers and project managers to draw and specify warehouse solutions.

“Selling material handling solutions is complex and CET simplifies the sales process because only one software is needed to visualize, specify and produce quotes,” Configura Business Developer Kevin Bowe said. “We are pleased to welcome United Material Handling to our growing community of material handling manufacturers and system integrators that use CET and look forward to developing a solution together that takes United Material Handling’s sales process to the next level.”

Configura’s software products, including CET, are used by 16,000 (and growing) users around the globe including designers, engineers, project managers, salespeople, dealerships and manufacturers in the commercial interiors, kitchen and bath and material handling industries. More than 100 manufacturers around the world – including Dematic, NEDCON, Steelcase, Herman Miller, Haworth, Sunon and Kvik – use CET to sell their products. Manufacturers add their products to CET by creating an Extension, which is an addition to the software that incorporates the rules, parts and pricing of products.
