WAC Home Ecosystem: Revolutionizing Showroom Lighting Control
Reclaim your position as the go-to lighting authority with the industry's most powerful, cost-effective smart lighting ecosystem that drives trade professionals back to your showroom.
The Smart Lighting Crisis: Why Showrooms Are Losing the Trade
Today's lighting showrooms face an existential threat: architects, builders, and designers increasingly bypass traditional showrooms in favor of AV integrators and competitor experience centers for lighting control solutions.
As overhead costs rise and margins shrink, commodity product sales alone can no longer sustain the showroom business model. The industry demands a solution that positions lighting showrooms as full-solution providers rather than mere product sellers.
Lost Revenue
Trade professionals seeking integrated solutions are taking their business to AV integrators, resulting in significant lost revenue opportunities for showrooms.
Diminished Relevance
Showrooms are increasingly seen as product warehouses rather than solution providers, threatening their position in the design-build ecosystem.
Margin Compression
Without value-added services, showrooms face continued margin pressure and commoditization of their core product offerings.
