Case Study: Variant Collaborative streamlines FF&E spec writing with Gather

Variant Collaborative scales from 2 to 10 team members with Gather

Variant Collaborative, an interior design firm, faced a significant challenge in managing complex furniture, fixture, and equipment (FF&E) specifications across a fragmented workflow using InDesign, spreadsheets, and Word docs. This process was incredibly time-consuming and hindered their ability to efficiently track changes and collaborate as their team grew. They discovered Gather, a comprehensive spec writing platform, to solve this problem.

By implementing Gather, Variant transformed its spec writing process. The solution provided a user-friendly, cloud-based platform that enabled real-time collaboration and automated high-quality formatting. This saved significant time and money, allowing the team to focus on creative work and confidently take on larger projects. Gather’s tools, like the Web Clipper and custom templates, streamlined data capture and training. The measurable impact was substantial, with the firm growing from two to ten people and expanding their service offerings to include procurement, all supported by their partnership with Gather.
