Lutron and Mountain West Distribution are the latest wins and both came straight from this community.

Three more brands are at the top of the request list:

Brands we need help connecting with: • JL Audio • Alfatron • Savant

If your company does business with any of these, a quick intro email to your rep (copying brian@ipointsolutions.net) is all I need — I'll take it from there. A little encouragement from their dealers goes a LONG way.

Not sure what to say? Copy and paste this:

"I wanted to introduce you to Brian at Smackdab. Smackdab is a brand new AI Powered Proposal Tool we are working with. They are building out a catalog of products, and we'd love for your product to be included - would save us a bunch of time!"

Every introduction makes the catalog better for everyone who quotes with it. Thank you!

The other big ask we've received is importing items from iPoint into Smackdab and we are actively working on it -aiming to wrap it up this week or early next week.

]]> <![CDATA[Back at It!]]> https://community.smackdab.ai/product-updates-92vprdq8/post/back-at-it-YFaKcfAyFD6YOSC https://community.smackdab.ai/product-updates-92vprdq8/post/back-at-it-YFaKcfAyFD6YOSC Fri, 08 May 2026 19:49:58 GMT Whew! What an event season. ProSource, Oasys, HTSA. We wrapped HTSA this week and now we are back to the grindstone.

Getting to connect with so many of you at these events was everything! The iPoint love was humbling. The excitement, unmatched.

We are back at and will have lots of updates next week on:

  • Pushing items from iPoint to Smackdab

  • Packages

  • Modifiers

  • Custom theme builder

  • And more!

The best is genuinely yet to come. We are so glad you're on this ride with us!

Thank you. Seriously.

]]> <![CDATA[Smackdab Library - Help Wanted!]]> https://community.smackdab.ai/discussions-ydizp88o/post/smackdab-library---help-wanted-QzZ9ABRSvamXd5g https://community.smackdab.ai/discussions-ydizp88o/post/smackdab-library---help-wanted-QzZ9ABRSvamXd5g Fri, 08 May 2026 19:46:20 GMT We’re actively building out the Smackdab Managed Product Library to make sure it reflects the brands you actually sell, not just a random catalog full of products nobody uses.

Right now, I could use a little community muscle.

If you have strong relationships with any of the brands or distributors below and would be willing to make a warm introduction via email (copying Brian@ipointsolutions.net), I can take it from there.

Brands/Partners we need help connecting with:
• Crestron
• Lutron
• D&H Distribution
• Coastal Source
• Legrand AV
• Mountain West Distribution

If your company already does business with any of these organizations, a quick introduction and a little encouragement from their dealers goes a LONG way.

And if you want to help but aren’t sure what to say, here’s a good place to start:

“Direct manufacturer and distributor relationships help ensure cleaner data, better pricing accuracy, and faster catalog updates. Having trusted data directly inside the quoting platform makes it easier for integrators to sell.”

Also, huge shoutout to John Campbell from HomeTronix for helping us get our API-level integration with ADI across the finish line. Now live inside the Smackdab Catalog.

Does anyone have an idea of when we might see that?

Will it lose its connection to the catalog database to get further updates on specs, etc?

]]> <![CDATA[Proposals on the Mobile App!]]> https://community.smackdab.ai/product-updates-92vprdq8/post/proposals-on-the-mobile-app-PGd62aunz8s5TcH https://community.smackdab.ai/product-updates-92vprdq8/post/proposals-on-the-mobile-app-PGd62aunz8s5TcH Fri, 01 May 2026 16:43:47 GMT Create proposals on the fly! Check out this video for a demo - this is an unedited screen recording. That's the real speed of adding an item to a proposal from your phone.

To get this now, add yourself as a TestFlight user (iOS only right now - Android is coming soon! Aiming for next week)

Housekeeping

Brooks, Brian, and I will be at the HTSA event for the first part of next week so I likely won't be posting daily. Don't fear, we aren't going dark for long - I'll be sure to have posts of cool things for you Thursday and Friday.

Also, the Proposal Pro features are now locked down so you may run into things that say you need to upgrade. You can start the free 14 trial of the Pro plan to get access to those to check them out.

Happy Smackdabbing!

Will these be reusable? For example if I record a really good explanation of service plans can I put that in future proposals?
