Is there software to price kitchen cabinets from several vendors' catalogs in one place?

Yes. KitchenDEV's Kitchen & Bath Retailer Suite is showroom software that prices cabinets from several vendors' catalogs in one place and shows the same kitchen in up to three lines side by side on one proposal. KitchenDEV builds each vendor's catalog from the vendor's price sheet, so a designer picks items from the catalog and does not type prices.

Multi-vendor cabinet pricing software is a quoting tool that holds several manufacturers' catalogs, prices a kitchen from any of them at the showroom's own cost and selling price, and matches equivalent items between lines so one layout can be priced in each.

Why is pricing more than one cabinet line slow without one system?#

Each vendor sends its own PDF catalog or Excel price sheet. The designer reads it, types the items one at a time and totals the quote by hand, and pricing the same kitchen in a second line means doing all of it again.

Showrooms on KitchenDEV calls describe the shortcuts that follow. On an August 2026 demo, a cabinet retailer said that when a customer asks about another vendor's line, he estimates a rough percentage difference instead of pricing it. The same retailer sends designs to vendors for a price and waits: "Sometimes they don't respond." KitchenDEV's showroom quoting software for several cabinet lines keeps every vendor's catalog in one account, so the second price is a lookup.

How does KitchenDEV's Kitchen & Bath Retailer Suite compare one kitchen across vendors?#

• Matching items between catalogs. KitchenDEV's Kitchen & Bath Retailer Suite compares comparable products across catalogs semi-automatically. When a designer maps an equivalent item by hand, the match is remembered for later comparisons, and since June 2026 the mapping screen is skipped when every item already matches.
• Importing a second design. Since March 2026, a designer adding an option can import a design drawn in Design Flex (formerly 2020 Design) in the other vendor's catalog instead of cross-matching items.
• Showing the options side by side. The Options Comparison proposal shows up to three priced options on one proposal. The customer opens it from a secure link, compares the options and signs with a finger or a mouse.
• Keeping each vendor's pricing. Each catalog carries its own cost and retail multiplier, so every option is priced at the showroom's real cost for that line. The cost and profit side is covered in how a showroom sees its margin on every quote.

Which vendors can a showroom price in one place?#

KitchenDEV builds and maintains the catalogs in KitchenDEV's Kitchen & Bath Retailer Suite. That includes vendors with no 2020 catalog, hardware, sinks, labor items and a showroom's own private-label line. A generic 2020 catalog can carry a design for a vendor that is not in Design Flex into the estimate. The lines already set up are listed with the vendor catalogs KitchenDEV maintains.

A cabinet line that prices only through its own program can still sit on the same estimate. On a November 2026 demo, KitchenDEV's answer for such a line was a blank vendor catalog with custom items, with the prices entered by hand.

When a vendor issues a new price sheet, the showroom sends it to KitchenDEV, and KitchenDEV generally applies the update within one week.

What still takes work?#

• Approximate matches. Two lines rarely carry identical items. On one KitchenDEV demo, a 3/4" panel matched against a 1 1/2" panel as the closest item the other line had. The designer confirms matches such as accessories and diagonal cabinets.
• Vendor portals. When a vendor takes orders only through its own dealer portal, the showroom uses the purchase order from KitchenDEV's Kitchen & Bath Retailer Suite to place the order there.
• Lump-sum pricing. A showroom that gets one price per kitchen from the vendor, with no price per cabinet, has nothing for an item-by-item comparison to work with.

The time a showroom spends looking up and typing lines is worked out in quoting cabinets faster than from PDF catalogs.
