AVAD, Savant Announce Partnership for Sales, Support of Smart Home Products

AVAD announced a strategic partnership with Savant to showcase smart home products based on the recently announced (see 1806280050) Savant Studio and Savant Central Management. AVAD will provide sales, logistics and support services to Savant dealers in the U.S. and Canada beginning Aug. 1, it said. The cloud-based Savant Studio configuration and management software enables installers to configure systems from an iPad and alerts integrators to service issues before a problem arises, Savant said, and the central management software provides time-stamped, permission-based secure access to systems. Under the partnership, existing Savant dealers will have access to hardware, technical support and customer service where AVAD has a physical presence, it said.
