Operations management for home and furniture brands
Home and furniture brands face unique logistics challenges. Bulky items, long supplier lead times, and white-glove delivery requirements demand an operations system that accounts for complexity at every step.
The operational challenges home & furniture brands face
Running a home & furniture business across multiple sales channels introduces unique operational complexity. These are the pain points that slow growth and erode margins.
Long supplier lead times make accurate available-to-promise dates unreliable across sales channels
Oversized and heavy items require specialized fulfillment routing that standard OMS platforms can't handle
Made-to-order and configurable products create inventory tracking nightmares with hundreds of combinations
Damage rates during shipping are high, and replacement inventory isn't always available
Showroom, warehouse, and in-transit inventory must all be visible but treated differently for allocation
