Direct Answer
The National Accounts program is built for the highest volume buyers: developers, builders, and distributors running multiple projects simultaneously or placing repeat orders that total hundreds of units per year. You get priority production scheduling, a dedicated account team that knows your specs and standards, streamlined ordering on repeat builds, and partnership pricing that reflects the volume commitment. This is how the largest multifamily developers and national builders work with Cabo, treating cabinet supply as a strategic partnership rather than a series of one off transactions.
National Accounts members typically run 500 to several thousand apartment units a year through our factory. The program recognizes that at that scale, consistency, speed, and reliability matter more than chasing the lowest bid on every job.
Why It Matters
When you are building at volume, cabinet delivery becomes a critical path item. A delayed container can idle framers, painters, and finish crews. National Accounts solves this by locking in your production windows months ahead. If you need 200 units of cabinetry in Q2 and another 150 in Q3, those slots are reserved. Our 700,000 square foot factory runs about 8,000 apartment units of cabinetry a month, roughly 200 shipping containers. National Accounts clients get first access to that capacity.
The dedicated account team means you are not re explaining your door profile, your hinge preference, or your box construction every time you submit a spec. They know whether you run framed or frameless, assembled or RTA, painted shaker or stained slab. That institutional knowledge cuts weeks off the spec confirmation process on repeat projects.
Partnership pricing reflects the economics of volume. When we can plan production runs around your committed volume, we pass efficiency back to you. You get predictable cost structures that make pro formas easier to model, and pricing holds steady across multiple projects in a phase or a year.
How It Works
You commit to a projected annual volume, typically in unit count or container count. Cabo assigns a dedicated account manager and project coordinator. You provide a master spec: your preferred door styles, finishes, hardware, box construction. For each new project, you submit the layout and any variations. We confirm lead time, usually about 30 days production plus under 7 days land delivery, roughly five weeks total from confirmed spec to cabinets on your US job site.
Production slots are reserved quarterly or by project phase. If you have a 300 unit build starting in April, we block that capacity in January or February. As specs firm up, the account team confirms details and locks the delivery schedule. Every box ships branded with your name, your project, your unit number.
National Accounts includes quarterly business reviews. We look at what shipped, what is in pipeline, and where lead times or specs can tighten up. If you are seeing install issues, inconsistent finishes, or delivery timing problems, that surfaces in these reviews and gets fixed at the factory level.
What to Ask For
When you are evaluating whether National Accounts fits your operation, ask these questions. What is the minimum annual volume commitment, and how is it measured: in units, in containers, in dollar value? What exactly does priority scheduling mean: are your orders literally first in the production queue, or is it a looser preference? Who is on your account team, and what decisions can they make without escalating?
Ask about pricing structures. Is it a fixed discount off standard pricing, or is it project specific based on volume and spec? How often does pricing reset, and what triggers a review? For repeat builds with identical specs, what is the reorder process: does every project go through full estimating, or is there a streamlined path?
Ask about flexibility. If your project delays and you need to push a delivery window, how much notice is required, and is there a penalty? If you need to add 50 units mid year, can that fit into reserved capacity, or does it go into the general queue?
Finally, ask what happens when something goes wrong. A damaged container, a finish mismatch, a box built to the wrong dimension. National Accounts should include a clear escalation path and faster remediation than a spot buyer gets, because the relationship is ongoing and the next project is already in pipeline.
