• Easier to find downloads, including animations and videos
• A streamlined design for faster downloads that are PDA-friendly
• Streamlined navigation and search functions
• Easily download individual catalog pages for quoting

Dealer Passkey
Chief is also excited to announce the release of an all-new dealer account management tool. Dealers can access valuable account and tracking information on a secure, password-protected website. Get real-time information about your Chief accounts right online. Also accessible within the tool are Knowledge College, Chief’s all-new online training tool, and a customizable literature program where dealers can create personalized Chief literature by adding their company logo and contact information to Chief accessory and TV mount brochures.

Overall, the new Chief website appears visually similar to the previous site, providing users with familiarity and consistency. Usability focus groups were conducted at CEDIA 2007 to obtain even more feedback on how dealers are using the Chief site, how the new changes impact the overall user experience, and what dealers want to see in the future.
