Leading Australian electrical safety and energy solutions innovator, Clipsal by Schneider Electric (Clipsal), has announced that its Clipsec Design Application was awarded Webby Honoree this year in the category of ‘Sites or web/desktop apps that help people accomplish tasks online'.
The annual Webby Awards was established in 1996 and is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. With over 14,000 entries from over 70 countries, earning the distinction of Webby Honoree is a significant achievement granted to only the top 20 percent of all work entered.
Made in collaboration with digital and UX design agency, Luminary, the Clipspec Design Application - also referred to as Clipspec App - is an industry-leading tool that has revolutionised the process of planning electrical, lighting and smart home needs for new home builds and renovations.
Clipspec allows the user to create a personalised, full-scale virtual home automation model, carrying the user through each room of the floor plan. A search and filter function guides the user to toggle through Clipsal product categories, styles and colours to design their dream room. Builders can also self-manage consultation sessions, control staff access, or make their own changes to pricing and products through the app.
From here, plans can be transferred into a customised flat plan of the customer's future home with an itemised bill of materials, so homeowners can keep track of their budget.
Clipsal combines over 25 years of local know-how with global expertise to create innovative design products and services to build scalable homes. The Clipspec app - Clipsal’s best-in-class software solution - takes inspiration from modern web-based design tools and best practices, while incorporating strategic planning and visualisation functionality to enhance the experience and increase accessibility to the user.
Speaking about the honor, Chris Kerr, Vice President of home & distribution at Clipsal by Schneider Electric said “We're excited and proud to be recognised by the esteemed Webby Awards at this year's ceremony.
“Over the last ten years, Clipspec has been continually updated with the latest functionality to meet evolving user needs. We continue to invest heavily in research and development to innovate and advance our electrical products.
“Through the years the brand has transformed in alignment with modern technology and continuous improvement in user design, while keeping customer needs top of mind”. Kerr added, “This recognition solidifies Clipsal’s position as an innovative market leader in electrical and lighting products.”
The announcement follows other award wins this year, including silver at the Melbourne Design Awards for Clipsal’s FlexSelect platform and a prestigious 2022 iF Design Award for its new residential circuit protection range, MAX9.
The Clipspec Design Application is now available at all participating electrical wholesalers nationwide. For more information, visit clipsal.com/design.
