Knaack Manufacturing

www.knaack.com
Knaack Manufacturing Co. is introducing its revolutionary Weather Guard® Vehicle Solutions™ software that assists end users and vehicle upfitters to interactively de-sign van storage solutions. The Web-based software tool allows users to custom-design work vans with shelving, cabinets, racks, and accessories. The 3-D software produces simple-to-use interactive graphics to help the user visualize the design prior to purchase. Design revisions are quick and easy, and once the van design is finalized, the end user can print the design drawing and the corresponding list of materials needed. The software simplifies and accelerates all elements of the design process. Because of the logic embedded in the software, the program will not allow the user to configure the van design with products that are inappropriate for a particular vehicle model, thus eliminating costly errors.
