PlanSCAPE® Service

Ask anyone who’s done it the hard way; large-scale furniture and equipment acquisitions can eat up your time and energy. Then, ask anyone who’s used Virco’s PlanSCAPE® service how easy a successful FF&E purchase can be!

By focusing exclusively on capital goods, not consumable items, PlanSCAPE simplifies and expedites the FF&E procurement process while working with you to find the right products for your campus. And because we have 1,000,000 square feet of warehouse space with an array of popular furniture and equipment skus, Virco provides fast turnaround times for thousands of PlanSCAPE items.

PlanSCAPE takes the stress and anxiety out of FF&E purchases. We give you the industry’s best combination of service, convenience and savings. And since PlanSCAPE gives you access to the easy-to-use U.S. Communities™ contract, you can purchase furniture and equipment at great prices without the hassles of bidding. Here are the simple steps of the PlanSCAPE process:

“We used PlanSCAPE® to furnish one of our district’s newest school buildings...”

NEEDSASSESSMENTExperienced PlanSCAPE® professionals recognize that notwoschoolsareexactlyalike. That’s why we don’t use a “one-size-fits-all” approach to furniture and equipment packages for existing schools or school construction projects. Instead, we work with you to expertly assess your school’s individual needs and requirements.

A thorough PlanSCAPE needs assessment includes an evaluation of your school’s: learningenviron-ments (traditional classrooms, tech labs, libraries, music rooms, art rooms, office and administrative areas, etc.); space-planning challenges; furniture and equipment preferences; and delivery andinstallationdeadlines.

Our PlanSCAPE needs assessment takes a load off your shoulders. With PlanSCAPE, you get the assur-ance that your school’s FF&E requirements have been comprehensively analyzed. And with Virco’s huge product inventory, there’s the added advantage of great lead times for thousands of furniture and equipment items.

Identifying your school’s unique product requirements will enable the PlanSCAPE team to help you find the FF&E solution that’s right for your school.

“We used PlanSCAPE to furnish one of our district’s newest school buildings and had a great experience. Because this three story building had offices and classrooms with different shapes and requirements, we couldn’t use a “cookie-cutter” template to purchase furniture and equipment. Instead, the individual-room PlanSCAPE layouts offered an excellent solution.”

“Our Virco representatives were very patient and accommodating when we asked for revised layouts to see how different products would work in our rooms. They always turned revisions around quickly and were ready to answer our questions.”

Carol Kehrer, Director of Purchasing Charlotte County Public Schools Port Charlotte, Florida

“This was a challenging project....PlanSCAPE® handled the challenge”

BUDGETANALYSIS/PROJECTEVALUATIONEvery school administrator appreciates the necessity of maximizing financial resources, particularly for an FF&E purchase that can involve hundreds of thousands of dollars. That’s why a PlanSCAPE® budget analysis is so valuable. By comparing the features, benefits andpricesof competingproducts, it helps you target the specific combination of furniture and equipment that makes sense for your school.

PlanSCAPE gives you access to thousands of popular products from top manufacturers, most of which – like Virco – operate their own domestic factories for optimum lead times, quality control and color offerings. By letting you compare so many competing products, PlanSCAPE enables you to more effectively allocate your FF&E dollars.

Along with this budget analysis, PlanSCAPE’s project evaluation generatesasummaryofalltheprod-uctsyou’vetargetedforpurchase. The PlanSCAPE team can also provide, at your request, a reference list of competing products from other manufacturers.

“I had a very positive experience with Virco’s PlanSCAPE team. We worked together to furnish a high school and a middle school located on the same site.”

“This was a challenging project because both schools had different furniture needs. The high school required lots of specialty items for chemistry labs, art rooms, technology settings, a wood shop, a photography classroom and other environments, while the middle school needed chairs, desks and other products for traditional classrooms and science rooms.”

“PlanSCAPE handled the challenge by identifying all the spaces in each school that required furniture and providing detailed product recommendations. Classroom, administrative and joint-use areas were all covered in a thorough, organized manner.”

Anna Klovstad, Project Manager Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District Truckee, California

“PlanSCAPE® and U.S. Communities® add up to a defi nite ‘win-win’ for schools”

CONTRACTPROCUREMENTUsing the state or national contract that best suits your situation, you can purchase furniture and equip-ment for your school through PlanSCAPE® at excellent prices. Compared to everything that’s involved in the bidding process, contractprocurementisagreatwaytosavebothtimeandmoney.

PlanSCAPE is the only FF&E planning service that lets you purchase furniture and equipment featured on the U.S.Communities™contract. With this comprehensive, detailed contract – thefirstnationalcontract – for use by schools, U.S. Communities offers hundreds of products to address all of your campus FF&E needs.

Like all the other advantages of PlanSCAPE, we offer this time-saving, cost-effective contract procure-ment feature at no cost to you. In addition to U.S. Communities, dozens of state contracts arealso at your service. If you have any questions about contract procurement, contact a PlanSCAPE representative.

“PlanSCAPE helped us optimize our furniture dollars. In the past, we typically took a low-bid approach to purchasing school furniture. Unfortunately, low-bid can often mean questionable quality. PlanSCAPE enabled us to purchase top-quality furniture and equipment through the U.S. Communities contract, which had been recommended to me by a colleague in another district. I tried to find fault with U.S. Communities, but it’s much faster and easier than bidding and the pricing is very good. PlanSCAPE and U.S. Communities add up to a definite ‘win-win’ for schools.”

Gerry Boucher Retired School Business Administrator New Hampshire

“Our PlanSCAPE representatives provided friendly, attentive service. Their expertise, especially in the attention to details, was the main reason for the success of our project.”

“For example, they made a point of staying in touch with us throughout the procurement process. It was great to get a phone call confirming that a delivery was on its way, rather than having a truck full of furniture show up out of nowhere.”

“I would not hesitate to recommend PlanSCAPE. With this service, you have the advantage of working with professionals who deal with school furniture on a day-to-day basis. Their expertise alleviates the headaches that can result from a furniture and equipment purchase.”

“Virco did an outstanding job helping us furnish our district’s new K-12 building; I’d definitely recommend their PlanSCAPE service. The Virco people who worked with us were exceptional.”

“Before choosing Virco, our district’s two principals and I met with a number of furniture vendors and evaluated their products. At first we had every intention of going in another direction, but after looking at what all the vendors had to offer, we decided to go with Virco.”

“Virco’s greatest strength is their people, even more than their products and their pricing, which are also strengths. No one else offered us the same level of service that Virco has given us.”

“Our Virco representatives provided us with computerized layout drawings that gave us a great idea of how much furniture our spaces needed and helped us avoid overestimating or underestimating our requirements. Custom products weren’t a problem for Virco. Some of the furniture items we’d envisioned for our library, faculty/staff workrooms, and other spaces weren’t part of their standard product line. The customized solutions that our representatives suggested have more than met our needs.”

“Ordering our furniture was easy. Virco’s U.S. Communities contract streamlined and simplified the purchasing process. And it supplied us with excellent pricing!”

“Delivery and installation went very smoothly. Virco’s trucks arrived on time and the crew performed their work efficiently, including a thorough clean-up. It was a seamless process; we couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

“When you’re furnishing a school, it’s important to have a vision, but what’s most important is to find a partner to help you realize that vision. For us, Virco has been an ideal partner.”
