The easily navigable, and highly informative DesignOneSource website offers project imagery, documents, tools and numerous support services. To increase productivity it features a series of  “accelerators” to reduce navigation to a single click to access content such as ordering samples; or arranging a personalized product presentation from a menu of presentations that allows designers the ability to tailor the presentation to fit specific requirements and have it as dine in (they come to you), or carry out – virtual delivery. Satisfy a need for knowledge with online CEU training with on-demand product education, or experience 3D environments with expansive customization options using the virtual reality design tools. Product specifications for all suppliers are in one place thereby eliminating time consuming navigation across the site.
