Time is money in the AV industry. That’s why Draper created the online Pro Portal. With 24-hour access to the tools in the Portal, you no longer have to call or email, and wait for your Draper representative.

Here are three ways the Draper Pro Portal saves you time and money.

1) Get freight quotes and order status

With the online freight quotes app, you can view and select freight rates to ship part-numbered AV products that are packed as one item per crate. Simply type in the shipping destination and the products you want to have shipped. You can also check the status of your order.

2) Keep up with AV inventory

Sometimes the choice of a product depends on how fast you can get it, so Draper gives you the ability to see what they have in stock. There are two ways to view Draper’s inventory levels online. Search the “AV inventory levels” which is updated every day by 8:00AM or download a spreadsheet of the list.

3) Plan your projection

Draper’s web-based Projection Planner puts the knowledge of their in-house projection experts at your fingertips 24/7. The Planner helps AV professionals input data about their projection system and determine the perfect Draper viewing surface. Enter information such as the type of information being projected, ambient light levels, projector format, lumens, contrast ratio, projector throw distance, and screen size.
The Projection Planner immediately presents you with the perfect viewing surface for your needs, and the screen models available with that surface.

These three tools can be nice time savers for you, reducing the need for phone calls and emails.
