We have a few things we just can't keep to ourselves. Read about them below.

Client Services
The Client Services team all gathered in Des Moines for training and team building. We did a deep dive into our Core Process Document and also met with Trent and Aaron at the warehouse for an in-depth install quote and install folder training. It was wonderful to get everyone together, in person, for the first time!
Information Systems
The Projects Team is continuing bi-weekly meetings to work on the overall remaining transitions from Navigator to Khameleon. We are making progress and can’t wait to share more with everyone in the coming months.
As part of our ongoing efforts to phase out Navigator, we accomplished another major milestone in December. Designers will no longer use Navigator to enter their time. Effective Monday, 12/18/23, all future time will be entered directly into Khameleon by the Designer. Now the Designers and Installers are using Khameleon instead of Navigator.
Pigott has partnered with Infomax, a technology service provider, to help us with our IT support. The goal will be to have them help with the routine IT support, freeing some of Mitch’s time to concentrate on the larger projects. All the details are still being worked out and we will share more later. We are very excited to be able to add additional IT support options for the organization in 2024!
Design Services
The Des Moines design team had a holiday outing at the Exile Snow Globe on December 19th. We did a gift exchange and the theme for gifts was “experiences”. The evening was full of great gifts and great fun!
We're excited to announce that we've hired Darcey Noyce as a part-time Interior Designer. She starts the week of January 22nd in Des Moines.
Installation Services
Congratulations to Manny Hernandez on the arrival of his new baby boy, Vincent Valentine Hernandez, who was born on December 22nd.
The Sioux Falls First PREMIER Bank Ops Center install team captured some video of the installation process. The videos below show them installing frames, tile, and trim onsite.
A&D
We teamed up with MillerKnoll for our annual holiday celebration for the kids at the Boys and Girls Clubs of America! Together, our team and incredible design partners helped them craft beautiful, holiday creations to gift to their loved ones. Local businesses generously donated snacks and pizza for the kids to enjoy while they created alongside their friends.
Thank you for everyone's support and donations! They helped us make this celebration truly special for the children! See more photos from the event on the Team Snapshots page and our website.
Sales Support
The Sales Support Team had a wonderful holiday break and is looking forward to all that is to come in this new year. We are going to be starting back up our bi-weekly team meetings where we will focus on Pigott processes and becoming experts on all that we can!
Human Resources
As we embark on a new year, we are proud to acknowledge and celebrate National Blood Donor Month throughout January. This month serves as a meaningful reminder of the incredible impact that selfless donors have on the lives of individuals in need. Their compassion and commitment to giving the gift of life are at the heart of our community's well-being. We extend our deepest gratitude to every blood donor who has made a difference, and we invite all members of our community to join in this life-saving endeavor. Due to holiday celebrations, inclement weather, and cold and flu season, the winter months are often a time of reduced donations and an increased risk for blood shortages. National Blood Donor Month celebrates blood donors during this critical time and reminds people of the importance of donating blood.
By raising awareness and participating in blood donation events, we come together to ensure a healthier and more vibrant future for all. Thank you to our dedicated donors for embodying the spirit of generosity and making National Blood Donor Month a symbol of hope and solidarity.
Marketing
We've published a new case study for American Investment & Trust on our website. Congrats to the team (Paige Theel, Ellie Everist, and Brad Drager) on a beautiful installation! You can access the professional photography on SharePoint here.
