How to run your furniture & home décor business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
Furniture sells in sets and custom orders, with a deposit up front and delivery and assembly at the end.
TheCEOApp tracks the order, the deposit and the delivery.
Pieces and sets
Sell a sofa by the piece or a dining set as a set, and see what's left in the showroom.
Custom orders with deposits
Record the deposit for a custom order and the balance on delivery.
Delivery and assembly
Add delivery and assembly to the same sale.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example 3-seater sofa, dining set (6 chairs) and centre table, and services like home delivery, assembly and custom order. Suggestions for a furniture & home décor come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by piece and set. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry barcodes (scan to sell) and expiry dates on each batch.
