Home furnishing software is a platform to help home furnishing companies manage various aspects of their furniture retail businesses. Home furnishing software is intended to operate much the same way a retail management system does, performing functions such as inventory management, point of sale, and various accounting tasks. Businesses can use home furnishing software to manage a brick-and-mortar or online furniture store, either integrating it with other various software tools or using it as an all-in-one system. Anyone managing a furniture business can benefit from home furnishing software, as it is intended to perform a variety of retail functions specific to home furnishing businesses.
Home furnishing software is often implemented alongside ERP systems, or individual tools that help with inventory management, e-commerce, point of sale, and employee scheduling. Home furnishing software is often intended to be everything a furniture business needs to function, but there are many supplementary tools to help create a tailor-made software solution.
To qualify for inclusion in the Home Furnishing category, a product must:
- Keep track of furniture inventory
- Provide a point of sale solution (either online or for a storefront)
- Maintain financial and accounting information
- Store customer information to be used for sales or marketing purposes
