Versatility - Velocity can be used in a variety of applications.  Open areas, private offices, bullpens to call centers, LAN rooms to training rooms.  Product ordering is simplified and since components can be used in all the areas of your office you benefit from maximum flexibility when the inevitable reconfiguration takes place.

True Stackability -  The privacy height of the system can be raised or lowered, quickly and easily, "on the fly" without installers.......... and it always supports overhead storage.

Lowest Life Cycle Costs - Because more existing parts can be re-used during a reconfiguration or change in workstation function, Velocity actually costs less to own.

No Panel Creep - This provides super efficient utilization of your space and overall better alignment of workstations.

Shared Product - Back to back workstations share common structural and electrical parts, greatly reducing the cost of each workstation.

A Wide Selection of Choices - Truly accommodates your specific functional and aesthetic requirements.

Customs, Specials and Modifications - Which means maximum space utilization and workstation efficiency.  No more compromising because the product you need "isn't in the book."  Custom prices are reasonable, the lead times are great, and the minimum quantity for specials in ONE.

You may have noticed the term "green" popping up everywhere. How could you not? The car your neighbor drives is "green" and the sleeve on your morning take out cup of latte is "green".  So, why not office furniture?

Rosemount Office Systems is "green", and we’ve been that way for a long time now. We just haven’t felt it was necessary to toot our own horn. But in case you weren’t aware…let us inform you.

Rosemount Office Systems strongly believes in corporate responsibility and leadership in conserving resources and protecting the environment. We demonstrate our commitment to the environment in four ways:

Design, Materials, Process and Technology

It’s not as simple as printing something on recycled paper (although that’s a start). When you’re a manufacturer, there’s a lot more that goes into it. We believe in the "3 R’s" of conservation – Reduce, Re-use and Recycle and this is how we do it:

With Celerity®, one “universal connector” is all you need. Celerity® installs and reconfigures faster, minimizing inventory cost and employee downtime. Celerity® panels can be added or deleted without dismantling adjoining workstations and electrical distribution. With a wide range of price options and a variety of styles and accessories to choose from, Celerity® gives you more office for the money in terms of quality and aesthetics.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1969 with a BA in Economics and Business minor.  I also went through the ROTC program which decided that my place for the next two years was going to be in the Army.  While attending college I married my sweetheart Judy who still manages to cope with me and my antics.  We don't have any children but when we were younger we were active in foster care for several years.

I've been in sales with the office furniture and products industry since 1972.  I started at The Miller Davis Co. where I began working on the retail sales floor and customer service before becoming and outside sales rep.  I started selling some furniture and enjoyed the additional challenge.  The very first piece of office furniture I ever sold was a single Rosemount Rotopanel.  This was a very basic panel used for dividing space and visual privacy.  It isn't even made anymore.  I then changed jobs and went to Business Furniture which was one of the local All Steel furniture dealers.  I was with each of these two dealerships about 4 years a piece. 

I then moved onto General Office Product.  They were a Steelcase dealer that also had an office products division.  This allowed me to continue servicing the furniture accounts, that I had developed, as well as using my office products background to provide another opportunity for sales.  General Office Products later split with the office products division ultimately becoming a part of US Office Products.  The furniture division was eventually sold back to the original owners. 

I joined Indoff in 1998 and enjoy my relationship with them.  It has allowed me to concentrate on selling to my customers without the distractions that sometime come from being over managed.  It's about as close to owning my own business as I could come without the headaches.  I contract for most of the services I need and the corporate office, in St. Louis, handles billing my customers and paying the vendors.  Having many partners, like myself, across the U.S. allows us to collectively develop better relationships with the vendors we buy from and also negotiate better pricing from them.  This makes it possible for us to pass on competitive pricing to our customers.  The internet allows the partners to broadcast messages to one another and serves very well as our support network. 

This will give you a brief snapshot of my background.  Give me a call I'd like to get to know you better and possibly become your sales rep. too.    

Agility^® is a mobile, powered table system that gives the worker complete control to change with work conditions.

All parts are interchangeable without the use of tools.  This includes a multitude of work surfaces in various sizes and shapes.  There are also privacy panels, overhead storage, monitor arms, and accessory office organizers.

Agility^® has true plug-in interface to building systems using standard electrical phone and LAN jacks.  There is no hard wiring required.  Just take your unit to the location where it's needed and plug it in - it's ready to go. 

Whether you need a separate stand alone worktable or are looking for pieces to augment a panel system configuration Agility^® is up to the task.  It would also be ideal for a home office environment.

Indoff's name came from combining the beginning portion of two words - Industry & Office.  Appropriate since this is who we provide products and services to.  Indoff is a unique group of professionals that feels like belonging to a large diverse family.  There are over 400 branch partners working in 45 states and Mexico.  Additionally there are approximately 75 managerial and support staff located at the corporate office in St. Louis.

Each branch partner works in a decentralized structure and is free to decide predominately how their individual branch functions.  It gives the partner the ability to capitalize on their strengths and decide how to market the mix of products and services they choose.  Indoff started in 1971 and by the end of 2006 had grown to $120 million in sales annually.  Their are four main divisions at Indoff.  The Office Interiors Division handles office furniture.  The Business Products Division is predominately office supply products. The Material Handling Division represents warehouse related products.   The Promotional Division sells advertising products with company logos and imprints. 

Several strengths are all joined together to provide the best package to the customer.  First of all the partners are empowered to make many of the day to day decisions that facilitate the whole procedure.  The large group of partners makes it possible to negotiate significantly lower pricing from our vendors - which in turn gives us the ability to sell at lower prices.  The partners can collaborate with each other, via the Internet message board, to help answer each other's questions on products, services, and procedures.  The corporate office in St. Louis handles things like - providing our overall structure, computer support, payables, receivables, payroll, benefits and the like.  This allows branch partners to focus on their customers and do what they do best. 

This is a basic look at how Indoff is structured.  There are also links to Indoff's corporate web page, as well as my personal web page, in the "Affiliated Sites" section.  Look for this box in the right margin near the top.  I'll be providing more details on Indoff in the future so check back when you have time. 

Eva^® is a competively priced full function panel system.  It also has a high design appearance while providing for quick installations and reconfigurations.

Eva^® has available either a flat surfaced connector or round.  Flat connectors look more like traditional walls while round connectors make it possible for the panels to be mounted at infinite angles and also make reconfigurations easier as well as taking less time.

Panel surfaces can be monolithic (a single continuous piece) or tiled (multiple stacked sections).  With tiled panels, each section can be of a different height, color and or material.  Panels can even be monolithic on one side and tiled on the other.

Panel Creep is the sum of the additional inches that accumulate when most panel systems are joined together.  This is caused by the additional space added at the joints, by joining hardware or intersecting panels, that is not taken into account when specifying just the panel widths.  It may not be significant when only joining a couple of panels.  However,  if a long enough run of panels is involved, panel creep may easily eliminate a walk aisle, or possibly the width of a complete row of cubicles or more.  When Rosemount Office Systems used center-line dimensioning in developing their furniture they took the headache out of panel creep and gave back the space lost to it.

In one call center project, Rosemount Office Systems was able to accommodate 21 more telemarketers than our competitors in the same floor space!  Based on an average expected production rate of $500,000 per telemarketer, Rosemount Office Systems’ space plan provided for an additional $10,500,000 of potential revenue for this company!  

That’s right TEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!  

Rosemount Office Systems’ furniture is different. Simply multiply the size of the workstations by the quantity and add 2 inches one time. That’s it! Creating intersections or adding/reconfiguring panels does not cause creep.
