Common questions about Comsense.
Don't see your question? Ask the team.
Comsense is built specifically for architectural opening distributors — doors, frames, and hardware. It includes a detailing module with heading builder, frame elevations, and prep automation; a spec writer with 100+ brand catalogs; 120+ electronic price books; and AIA billing for construction project cycles. Generic ERPs do not include these features out of the box.
Door schedules and hardware sets from architect drawings can be imported directly into Comsense, giving estimators a fast starting point. Electronic price books (120+ brands) provide current product definitions and pricing, and bulk estimating tools speed up turnaround on large project bids.
Yes. The project management module tracks each project through multiple ship dates, partial shipments, and change orders. Estimated vs. actual cost tracking and drill-down visibility help project managers catch budget variances before they compound.
Comsense serves architectural opening distributors in North America — companies distributing commercial doors, frames, and door hardware to construction projects. The product is purpose-built for this niche and is not a horizontal distribution ERP.
Advantive provides direct implementation services for all brands. A named implementation lead is assigned at kickoff and stays with the project through go-live. Partner-led implementations are available for select brands when a customer prefers an existing systems integrator.
Advantive ONE extends each brand with cross-system intelligence — surfacing patterns across your ERP, MES, quality, and warehouse data. It runs as a layer on top of your product, not a replacement. Customers on a current support contract are eligible.
Standard support covers software updates, the customer portal (knowledge base + ticketing), and the Advantive support team during business hours in your region. Premium tiers add dedicated customer success, extended SLA coverage, and 24/7 critical-incident response.
