Tando launches new ‘Home Creator’ tech

Tando, a brand of Derby Building Products, has rolled out a new technology within its state-of-the-art “My Tando Home Creator.”

The free online tool enables users to easily visualize home updates using Derby products including TandoStone, Beach House Shake, and TandoShake. 

My Tando Home Creator’s new user experience offers improved usability, increased performance, the QuickView tool for faster and easier visualization, along with professional design services including a new 3D measurement tool, Derby said.

No software download is required, and contractors and dealers can use the tool to bid on projects without visiting a home thanks to the integration of Google Street View. 

The program also features access to optional, affordable professional design services including 3D modeling and project measurements to provide accurate material takeoffs. When utilizing the 3D modeling service, a user will receive a super-accurate representation of the project, along with a complete material list that can be used to order project materials for delivery or quick curbside pickup.

“The upgrade to My Tando Home Creator is very timely,” said Ralph Bruno, CEO of Derby Building Products. “Our new technology will empower consumers to envision exactly how Tando products will look on their home in the safety and security of their home and without visitors.” 

Building pros and dealers can take advantage of remote design and measurement tools to help allocate valuable time and resources most efficiently, Bruno noted.

For user convenience, My Tando Home Creator operates on iPad, iPhone, Android, and a desktop computer or laptop.

Derby Building Products is based in Quebec City, Quebec.
