About This Solution

End-to-end operations for office furniture dealers and fit-out businesses

Office furniture projects involve more operational complexity than they appear. A single fit-out for a 50-person office can involve multiple manufacturers, phased delivery schedules to work around the client's occupation plan, installation teams who need coordinating down to the hour, and an aftercare process that can run for months after handover.

Managing all of this through email and spreadsheets means something always slips. A product arrives in the wrong colour. An installation date clashes with the client's IT infrastructure team. An aftercare issue sits unresolved in someone's inbox. Each of these costs you margin, time, and client satisfaction.

Zigaflow gives office furniture businesses a single operational platform that connects your sales, procurement, project management, installation, and finance functions. Every project runs through the same structured process, so quality and accuracy are consistent regardless of who is handling it.

Key Facts
  • Manages furniture projects from initial survey through installation and aftercare
  • Handles multi-manufacturer procurement with phased delivery tracking and cost management
  • Coordinates installation teams with scheduling, task management, and real-time job updates
  • Tracks project costs against budget with real-time margin visibility
  • Manages aftercare, snagging, and warranty claims against the original project record
How It Works

Up and running in a few simple steps

1

Build the Quote

Create itemised quotes with product configurations, fabric choices, and installation costs. Reference supplier catalogues for live pricing.

2

Manage Approval

Send quotes for client sign-off, collect e-signatures, and track revision history without losing earlier versions.

3

Order from Suppliers

Raise purchase orders to manufacturers and distributors directly from confirmed orders. Track lead times and delivery windows.

4

Coordinate Installation

Schedule installation visits, assign teams, and attach site plans or delivery notes to the job record.

5

Invoice and Reconcile

Invoice against the confirmed order value and reconcile supplier costs. Push invoices to Xero or QuickBooks automatically.

Complex Specifications Taking Hours to Quote

A detailed office furniture specification with multiple product ranges, finishes, and configurations from different manufacturers can take a full day to quote accurately. Errors mean margin loss or uncomfortable conversations with clients.

How Zigaflow helps

Build comprehensive furniture specifications quickly using saved product templates and supplier catalogues. Margins are calculated automatically and the final quote is formatted professionally without extra effort.
