The gap
Four systems. One order. None of them talk.
Delivery software ends at the door. Accounting starts at the invoice. The part in between is where furniture businesses lose money.
Sourcing lives in a spreadsheet
Who is supplying this order, at what price, arriving when — tracked outside the system that sold it.
The truck runs on paper
Manifests, signatures and damage notes come back on a clipboard, days after the argument started.
Vendor bills go unchecked
Nobody has time to match a supplier invoice against what was actually received.
Sourcing
Swap the supplier. Never touch the order.
What the customer bought and who fulfills it are two different records. Re-source freely — the sales order, invoice and promised date stay as sold.
- Same product, several suppliers, ranked by cost and lead time
- A substitution issues a real purchase order, linked both ways
- Backorders and split shipments stay one coherent order

The field
Evidence at every handoff, not just at the door.
Photos, condition notes and signatures are captured at supplier pickup, at the warehouse, on the truck and in the room — timestamped and placed.
- Drivers work with no signal; the app syncs when they surface
- Damage, refusal and partial delivery are first-class outcomes
- Payment on delivery, recorded against the same order

The money
Bills matched to what actually arrived.
Receiving counts pieces. Payables compares them to the vendor's invoice and flags the difference before anyone approves it.
- Deposits, balances and cash on delivery on one ledger
- Branded invoices, quotes and sales sheets straight from the order
- Every change additive — amendments and cancellations stay auditable
Two pieces short on PO-0231 — flagged before the bill is approved.
Two surfaces
A desk that plans. A phone that delivers.
