ESSENTIALS for Shed Suppliers

The documentation below provides a detailed summary of features & capabilities that are included in the Essentials subscription level for Shed Suppliers. Please refer to the Plus package for upgrade opportunities.

Last updated: 2/1/2024

High Level Summary

Description

The ultimate streamlined implementation, meticulously designed to harness the power of industry best-practices and leverage IdeaRoom’s unparalleled expertise. Fully templatized (customer may not deviate from IdeaRoom standards).

Key Definitions

✅ The customer has one pricing region

The customer has no more than three product lines

Styles can include buildings with roof profiles including Gable/A-frame, Barn/Gambrel, Saltbox/Quaker, Lean/Single Slope, & Hip Roof Sheds. Does not include complex packages.

✅ Customer can utilize IdeaRoom standard business logic

 ✅ Customer would like dealer network support for 10 or less dealers

✅ Customer can be implemented in < 20 hours

✅ Customer receives 6 ongoing implementation credits per quarter

NOT Included - A customer will require an advanced subscription with a potentially higher set up and monthly cost if they require one or more of the following:

❌ Business logic or rules that are not part of the sheds template (for example, an overly complicated set of rules that provide unique standard door and window options for every style, siding type and size). IdeaRoom provides standard, simplified option sets that can be tailored to a clients' needs, but the goal is to create manageable patterns for streamlined updates across time.

❌ Custom upgrade pricing

❌ Any task or customization that would take longer than 30 minutes to complete, even if that item is listed above. For example, if a client requests adjustments to the sizes that would require extensive logic to implement, the client and consultant will work to identify a streamlined approach within the IdeaRoom standard templates that can be completed within 30 minutes.

❌ Integrations that do not include standard implementations of Zapier, Zip Tax, Shed Suite, RTON DMS, CAL or Hubspot

A personalized subdomain URL of your choosing

ℹ️ Your website administrator must make DNS entries for your personalized URL. This is required during your onboarding phase or your subscription will begin with a cloudfront URL.

Service Areas - IdeaRoom can enforce service areas by requesting a ZIP code or state before the customer can design their building. The following service area options are supported:

No restrictions. Customers can design a building without providing a ZIP code.

State boundaries. Customers will be prompted to select their state.

Client-supplied, single-polygon KML map. A KML map, created using Google Maps, sets a boundary around the desired service area. This boundary is not limited to state boundaries. When a KML map is used, customers will be prompted for a ZIP code. An error message will be shown if the ZIP code falls outside the polygon.

Client-supplied, KML map with radius distances from a centralized location (e.g., w/ in 50 miles of HQ, 50 - 200 miles from HQ, 200+ miles from HQ, and so on).

ℹ️ IdeaRoom supports multiple regions; however, they are not included in this subscription level.

Includes up to 3 product lines

What is a product line? A product line is a series of buildings that share similar characteristics.

For example:
> An economy series that appeals to buyers with budget constraints.
> A premium series that has upgraded siding, doors, & windows.

Product lines include all of the following, with pricing:

  • Unlimited building styles and sizes

  • Visual colorizer

  • Up to three (3) Siding Groups with the following:

ℹ️ The following styles are NOT supported in this subscription: Greenhouses, Animal Shelters including Run-ins & Chicken Coops. Garages, cabins & two-story structures may be represented as styles within the product lines, however, implementing these structures as packages will require an upgraded subscription.

Each product line may have up to three (3) Siding Groups.

What are Siding Groups? Siding groups share similar materials and characteristics.
For example:

> A wood siding group that include LP Panel and LP Lap siding
> A vinyl siding group that includes Dutch Lap
> A metal siding group that includes two unique ridge profiles

A siding group include all of the following:

  • One trim style, which includes corner trim and door & window trim

  • One eave style and one overhang size

  • One set of doors, windows, and vents

Each product line may have a limited number of Standard Option Sets that fall within IdeaRoom Standard Business Logic.

What are Standard Option Sets? A collection of included options (such as doors and windows) for a particular building, displayed along a shed wall. Each style may have one set of included components, with one variance based on building width or length, and up to two wall heights. 

For example:

> A standard gable building includes 1 single shed door on the front wall for sizes under 12 feet wide. For sizes 12 feet or wider, the standard gable building includes 2 windows. The standard gable building has two height options (6ft & 8ft), which enables 2 different window heights.

ℹ️ You can think of Standard Option Sets as "rules" for what is included in the base price of a given shed. Keeping these rules simple presents a better user experience and allows your site to be updated quickly and accurately across time. IdeaRoom supports a library of Standard Option patterns that represent core scenarios for the shed industry. Deviating from an IdeaRoom pattern and/or requesting a set of rules that fall beyond the scope of an Essentials implementation will require an upgraded subscription.
