Casas offers intelligent suite of office interiors

There is little question that the outward appearance of an organization’s office can leave a lasting impression on clients. However, an office’s specific arrangement can also play a key role in productivity as well. It was with this sentiment that Mindy Casas founded Intelligent Interiors Inc. in 1997.

With roughly 12 employees, Intelligent Interiors is currently Herman Miller’s only minority-owned and -operated dealership in Texas. While this certification has definitely opened doors for the firm, Casas is quick to point out that certification alone does not spell success.

“Regardless of how you look at it, business success is always about dealing with people on a regular basis, so you need to have the people in place to build and nourish the relationships your business relies upon,” she said.”In addition, successful businesses need to have the goods, services and commitment to quality to back up what they are presenting. This is where we truly provide a difference in the marketplace. In particular, we have service that goes above and beyond what people would expect.”

Even as Casas’ firm has grown to its current level - roughly $10 million in annual sales - she takes comfort in the fact that the team has continued to maintain a “consistent feel” that only comes with a small business. “We want to remain pinpointed on what we provide and what sectors we best serve,” she said. “We do not take a broad stroke approach. We need to keep focused on optimum services, and always keep an intimate relationship with the customer. We want our customers to see how much we value our dealings.”

Fully Equipped

As Casas set out to found Intelligent Interiors, she knew she needed to have the right pieces in place if she was going to succeed. As such, Casas’ company is a full-service dealership offering a comprehensive line of office furnishings as well as interior design services and products. Currently, the firm’s offerings include complete space planning and design, office furniture and accessories. In addition, Intelligent Interiors provides full-service delivery, installation and maintenance as well as repair, asset management and disposal services for the majority of the products offered.

Stepping up the service offering, Casas recognized and now fulfills a noticeable area of need within the corporate and government sectors by providing customized voice and data cabling, state-ofthe-art telephone systems, tasteful artwork, window treatments and wall coverings.

Casas’ dedication to providing the most complete and desirable offering also shines through in the various product lines the firm represents. Since its inception, Intelligent Interiors has been a dealer for respected furniture industry leader Herman Miller. In addition, it also has a vast number of complementary product lines to provide its customer base with complete solutions.

“Like our customer relationships, our Herman Miller relationship is extremely valuable because they have the presence worldwide and help us in providing smart solutions for every size organization,” she said.

Making A Difference

Understandably when a firm consistently demonstrates a high level of quality service, the marketplace takes notice. Intelligent Interiors is a prime example. In recent years, the growing firm has been recognized numerous times for its accomplishment. For instance, the firm was selected as one of the Top 500 Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States by Hispanic Business Magazine, recognized for two years as one of the Dallas 100 companies by the SMU Cox School of Business and receive numerous commendations from www.diversitybusiness.com
