How it works

From an initial idea to an agreed project.

Campus Canvas coordinates the work around your space. Your dealer stays connected to the customer and controls the proposal. National Public Seating accepts orders and is responsible for fulfillment.

  1. You + Campus Canvas

    Start with a useful brief.

    Share the space, purpose, budget direction and timing. Photos, approved artwork and preliminary measurements help clarify the idea. Unknown answers are welcome.

    What you have at this point

    A saved brief and the information needed next.

  2. Campus Canvas + your dealer

    Develop the scope and proposal.

    Design direction, material questions and partner requirements are reviewed. Your dealer receives the trade quote privately, chooses the customer price and releases the customer proposal.

    What you have at this point

    A proposal identifying the work, price, qualifications and version.

  3. You + your dealer

    Review what will be delivered.

    Check the artwork, scope and terms. Request changes or record proposal approval. Revisions need a fresh review; approval of the proposal is not NPS order acceptance.

    What you have at this point

    A reviewed proposal and a clear record of your response.

  4. Your dealer + National Public Seating

    Confirm the order.

    Your dealer emails the PO to NPS through the existing process. A reference or uploaded copy records the submission. Authorized NPS staff must separately review and accept the order.

    What you have at this point

    Recorded NPS acceptance of the agreed order.

  5. National Public Seating + project partners

    Coordinate delivery and closeout.

    NPS remains responsible for fulfillment. Fabrication and any included installation follow the accepted scope. Site readiness, access and availability are confirmed for the location. Completion, care information and outstanding issues are recorded.

    What you have at this point

    Recorded progress, completion and responsibility for any open issue.

The purchasing relationship stays clear.

NPS contracts with dealers, invoices and collects payment, and owes fulfillment. The existing emailed PO process continues. Sending a PO or approving a proposal does not itself accept the order or guarantee a schedule.
