Your sales floor answers like your design team

Sales floor search

Every associate searches your vendors, asks in plain words, and gets instant answers. No designer-only knowledge.

Design service quoting

In-house designers configure pieces, build room collections, and quote: all from one catalog with your markup.

Client close faster

Clients get priced answers on the floor. Collections close before they leave, not after two follow-up calls.

How retail stores with design services use Sourcebook

Retail furniture stores with in-house design services bridge two business models: walk-in sales requiring instant answers and design projects needing detailed specifications. Sales associates need product knowledge across all vendors. Designers need accurate pricing and lead times for project planning. Sourcebook gives both teams instant access to complete vendor information.

Floor sales support

Sales associates search your complete vendor catalog without knowing which vendor carries what. Clients ask questions and associates get instant answers: dimensions, customization options, lead times, pricing with your markup. No need to call the design team for basic product information.

Design project management

Your design team builds room collections with pieces from multiple vendors, calculates COM yardage for upholstered pieces, coordinates delivery timelines, and generates client presentations. All vendors priced with your retail markup automatically.

Clients browse with associates or designers, save items they like, and receive quotes before leaving your store. Design team reviews complex projects before finalizing quotes. Clients make purchase decisions with complete pricing instead of waiting days for callbacks.

Questions for retail stores with design services

Can sales associates use it without design training?

Yes. Associates search by words or photo, ask questions in plain language, and get instant answers about dimensions, materials, colors, and pricing. No design knowledge required. Complex questions about customization or COM yardage route automatically to your design team.

Do we control markup on every vendor?

Yes. Set your retail markup per vendor or per product category. Prices shown to clients include your markup automatically. Change markup anytime and it updates across your entire catalog. Different markup rules for floor stock vs special order items.

Can our design team review quotes before clients see them?

Yes. Associates or designers build a collection and submit for approval. Your design team reviews, adjusts pricing or product selections if needed, and approves. Then the client sees the final quote with your branding and terms.

What if a client asks about a custom size or finish?

If the vendor offers custom with a pricing rule, Sourcebook prices it instantly. If the vendor requires a quote for custom work, it routes the question to your design team with client contact and the request details. Your designers handle only custom requests that need manual quoting.

How do we track floor samples vs catalog items?

Tag items displayed on your sales floor as floor samples. Clients and associates see which pieces they can view in person vs order from catalog. Update floor sample status when you rotate displays or sell floor models.

Can we coordinate delivery across multiple vendors?

Yes. Each vendor has lead times in the system. When clients order from multiple vendors, you see delivery timelines for each piece. Coordinate delivery scheduling with clients based on actual vendor lead times instead of estimates.
