Furniture retail software

Runs the showroom.
Runs the van.

Everything an independent furniture store needs — the sale, the stock, the money — plus the one thing no other system at this price does properly: getting the furniture to the house.

The gap

A sofa isn’t sold until it’s in the living room.

You have software for the sale. You have nothing for the ninety minutes that decide whether the customer is happy: what goes on the van, when it gets there, who signed for it, and what they still owe.

$140

Sending the van out to the same house a second time. Two staff, the fuel, and the hour on the phone explaining. Industry estimate — put your own figure into the calculator below.

45 min

Rebuilding tomorrow’s delivery sheet, every evening, in a spreadsheet that gets overwritten. About 190 hours a year.

8 min

Every “where is my order?” call, because the answer is split across a spreadsheet, a whiteboard and the driver’s head.

Two minutes, no sign-up

The round

Tomorrow’s van, in the order it drives it.

  • Every stop in route order, with the phone number
  • Exactly what is on board for each address
  • What the driver must collect at the door
  • Print it, or take it as Excel or CSV
What that is worth

The 45 minutes somebody spends rebuilding this spreadsheet every evening — about 190 hours a year — and the wrong-item trips that bad sheets cause.

The delivery sheet: four stops, twelve pieces, $5,063 to collect

Proof of delivery

The whole job, on the driver’s own phone.

  • Ticks off what actually came off the van, not what was ordered
  • Part-delivered orders stay open by themselves
  • Photographs the signed ticket, stamped with the time and place
  • A stop won’t close with a balance still owing
What that is worth

One disputed delivery a month. “It never arrived” meets a photograph, a time and an address — and a single written-off sectional costs more than a year of this.

The driver's round on a phone Recording a delivery, ticking off what came off the van

One scan

The driver scans the invoice. Eight things happen.

This is the part people do not believe until they watch it. One scan on a phone at somebody's front door, and the whole business behind it moves — the order, the money, the customer, the books. Nobody rings the office. Nobody writes anything down to type in later.

The order opensNo hunting through a folder for the right sheet, no typing an invoice number with cold hands.
What came off the van is ticked offPiece by piece — what actually went in, not what was ordered six weeks ago.
Whatever did not goes on owingThe order stays open by itself, naming the pieces still to come. Nobody has to remember to reopen it.
The balance is collected at the doorThe stop will not close with money still owing. The driver records what they were handed and in which tender.
The money lands on the invoiceAnd in today's takings, under the right tender, before the van is back on the road.
The customer is texted that it arrivedIn your words, not ours. They also got one when it was booked and one when it was on the van this morning.
The signed ticket is filedPhotographed, stamped with the minute and — where the driver allows it — the place. “It never arrived” now has an answer.
The commission becomes payableBut only now, because the customer has actually paid. Not on the day it was sold.
What that is worth

The ninety minutes that decide whether a customer is happy used to leave no trace at all. Now the van gets back and there is nothing to catch up on, because it was all done at the door.

On any phone

Your whole shop fits in your pocket.

Install it from a link — an icon on the home screen, full screen, no app store, nothing to update, ever. It is the same system you use at the desk, laid out for a phone, and everyone gets the screens their own job needs. Run the place from the showroom floor, from a supplier's warehouse, or from your kitchen on a Sunday.

The owner's dashboard on a phone: takings today, what
          customers owe, stock at cost and the last fortnight's revenue

You, from anywhere

What came in today, what customers owe you, what your stock is worth at cost and what needs reordering. Switch between branches with one tap, or look at the whole group at once.

Looking an item up on a phone: free to sell, on the
          floor, already promised, and which branch holds the rest

Your salesperson, on the floor

Scan the label while standing with the customer. Not just “in stock” — how many are genuinely free to sell, how many are already promised to somebody else, which branch has the rest, and when more arrive.

The delivery screen on a phone: stops, pieces still
          to deliver, and cash to collect

Your driver, on the round

The day's stops in order, what is on board for each, and what to collect at the door. One big button: Scan an invoice. A driver's login opens these screens and nothing else — no prices, no reports, no customer ledgers.

Everything in the box

Built for furniture from the first line of code.

No modules to buy later and nothing switched off to make you upgrade. Every tier includes the whole of this list — the price only changes how many branches you may run. A salesperson is useful on it the same afternoon; most of it is one screen with the next thing to do already on it.

Selling

The screen your salespeople live on all day.

The sale screen

Search the catalogue, discount a line or the whole invoice by amount or percent, add delivery, assembly, custom and made-to-order lines

Deposits and split tender

Take part now and the rest at the door. As many payment types on one invoice as the customer wants to mix

Layaway

A deposit, an instalment schedule, and the goods released the moment the balance clears

Back orders

Sell the next one you order, not just what is on the floor — with what is already on the way and which branch is holding one

Store credit

A credit account per customer, spent like any other tender, with a statement behind every penny

Customers

Contact and delivery details, purchase history, lifetime value, and exactly what they still owe

Billing and tax

Paperwork that comes out right the first time.

Invoices

Sequential numbers, your own letterhead, part payments and a running balance

Sales tax

Zones by state, county, city and postal code. Compound components, exempt classes, charged where you choose

Returns and credit notes

Restocking fee, tax refunded on what came back, each piece marked sellable or written off, numbered credit note

Your terms, printed

The sentences that decide who pays when something goes wrong, with somewhere to sign — at the counter and at the door

The van

Half of this product. It is where furniture retail actually goes wrong.

A date and a window per line

A sofa in stock and a table on back order do not have to share a date. One tick promises the whole order where they do

Caps your vans can keep

A limit on stops per day and per window, counted across every branch. A full slot greys out at the till before anyone promises it

The run sheet

Tomorrow's stops in the order the van drives them, the goods on board, the money to collect. Your columns, printed or as Excel

Proof of delivery

A photograph of the signed ticket, stamped with the minute and the place it happened

Cash on delivery

The drop that finishes an order clears its balance, or the driver cannot close it

The customer is told

Booked, on the van today, part arrived, all arrived, cancelled — by email and text, in your words, without anyone remembering to

Stock and buying

One number for what you own, and a reason behind every change to it.

Products

Cost, price, margin, reorder level, material, colour, dimensions and where it is kept

A ledger, not a guess

Every unit in and out explained — sold, received, transferred, damaged, counted or returned

Purchase orders

Raised per supplier. Receiving one raises the stock and updates your cost prices

Barcodes

Scan at the till with any USB or Bluetooth scanner. No barcodes on your stock? Print your own from the SKU

Transfers between branches

Two-sided, so both floors stay honest about what they are holding

People and pay

Who did what, and what they are owed for it.

Commission

Per person, per category, or both. On revenue or on gross profit. Split between two people who closed it together

Paid only when you are paid

Commission becomes payable once the customer has settled in full. A layaway still being paid off waits its turn

Payout runs and payslips

What was handed to whom, never offered twice, and a spreadsheet for whoever does the wages

Five roles

Owner, administrator, manager, sales and driver — each sees the screens their job needs and none of the rest

Knowing where you stand

The Sunday-afternoon spreadsheet, deleted.

Reports

Revenue, gross profit, discounts and tax by day, week or month. Best sellers, revenue by category, dead stock, aged debtors, revenue by salesperson

Tying out the till

What actually came in, by tender — cash to count by hand kept apart from card and transfer

Excel, both ways

Thirteen reports out as .xlsx or .csv with the figures as numbers. Your catalogue and years of history in, checked before a row is written

Backups

A copy of everything every night, and onto your own computer every time you open the system

Yours, not ours

It should look like your shop, because it is your shop.

Your logo and your colour

Set once. It runs through every screen, the sign-in page and the printed invoice

One shop or several

Per-branch stock, invoice sequences and reporting — or put the whole group on one shared floor

Settings you can find

Fourteen sections with a search box above them. Type VAT and the tax screen comes up

On the home screen

Install from a link. An icon, full screen, no app store, nothing to update

An invoice with a different promised delivery date on each line

The paperwork

One order. Two arrival dates. Nobody explains it twice.

  • A promised date and window on every single line
  • Its own barcode — scan it at the counter or at the door
  • Your terms printed underneath, with signature lines
  • Sales tax worked out at the delivery address, or the store’s
What that is worth

Most “where is my order” calls never get made, because the customer is holding the answer.

Your records

A copy of everything, onto your own computer, every morning.

Taken nightly on the server, then saved down automatically the moment you open the system. Point it at a Dropbox or OneDrive folder and the copies leave the building by themselves.

Why this matters more than it sounds

You can put one back yourself, from your own settings screen, without ringing anybody. If this business ever stopped, you would still hold every invoice you have ever written.

What changes

The same shop, six weeks later.

Talk to us

$950 to set you up — your own web address, your catalogue and sales history imported, your tax, staff and terms configured, and two hours’ training.

Getting started

Trading on it in about a week.

Your old system stays exactly where it is until you say otherwise. That one line removes more fear than anything else we say.

Day 1

Send us a spreadsheet

Your product list and last year’s invoices, in whatever format they’re in. We import and check them, and show you what landed before anything is written.

Days 2–3

We set it up

Your own web address with a certificate, your logo, your tax zones, your staff accounts, your terms.

Day 4

Two hours’ training

With your own catalogue and your own customers already in it. Not a demo store.

Day 5

You sell on it

And we’re on the phone that week whenever you need us. You’ll be talking to the person who built it.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

We can’t switch in the middle of the season.

Don’t. Keep your current system running — we’re not asking you to turn anything off. We load your catalogue and your history, you run a fortnight on both, and if it isn’t better you’ve lost nothing but the setup fee. January is usually the right month, and we’d rather start you then than rush you now.

What happens to twelve years of history?

It comes with you. Products and sales history both import from a spreadsheet, and the importer does a dry run first so you see exactly what is going to land before anything is written. Send us last year’s invoices and we’ll load them into a store with your name on it, free, so you can search your own customers in it before you decide anything.

My driver isn’t technical.

He has a phone and uses it all day. There’s no app store and no password to forget — it’s an icon on the home screen, and there’s a two-minute video made for drivers rather than for owners. If the driver won’t use it, that’s our failure and not his.

Who else uses it?

One store, live now, and we’ll give you their number so you can ask them anything you like — including what’s annoying about it. That’s the honest answer. The other half of it is that being early is why you’re getting this price with the person who built it answering the phone.

Have a look at a real one.

A working store with a full year of trading in it. Four boxes and your login is on the screen — not in your inbox tomorrow, not after a sales call. Nobody has to ring you.

Your login appears here straight away, and we email a copy. What we do with your details — and how to stop all of it in one click — is set out in plain words in the Privacy Policy.
