We’ve reached the end of 2022! And what a year it was. This was a big year for the contract furniture and design industry as we saw many workers move back to working in offices and we entered the era of the hybrid worker. To help entice workers back into the office, designers had to get creative with workplace designs to create welcoming and multi-functional environments that would get people excited about coming back in.

This year we saw several new trends pop up across the furniture that is the direct result of this new hybrid work era. As 2022 comes to an end we will look back at the year and summarize some of the top office furniture design trends that we saw from our manufacturer clients across verticals. This way when we head into 2023 you have the best idea of what offices are looking for when it comes to designs and layouts. With The KITS Collaborator, you can easily apply these trends to your own clients and layouts.

Ecommerce regularly evolves with new web technologies as showrooms and sellers look for the best ways to show off their products - with portfolios, galleries, product pages, photos and more. These are all fine ways to provide your prospects a preview of what you offer, but they are ‘flat’ and lack engagement. If you’re using them now, are they making you stand out from your competitors and engaging with your customers? At KiSP, we believe the best new way to preview what you and your business can offer someone is by using a virtual showroom. And now is the time to start thinking about how you can set up a virtual showroom for your dealership, showroom, or storefront.

An online experience or marketplace is commonplace in almost any industry today. People like to research major purchases online for the sake of convenience and to save time traveling to physical store locations, so it makes sense that e-commerce is one of the most important channels for any business. But, how do you make an online experience engaging and stand out from the rest? Web Configurators are an increasingly popular way for businesses to create engaging online shopping experiences for their consumers.

Configurators are online tools that you can add to your online presence, allowing consumers to preview and customize your products before purchasing. There are many different types of configurators out there, but the main goals of creating one are to:

Ecommerce in North America alone generated more than 1.5 billion in 2021. Consumers are shopping more online and looking for new virtual shopping experiences to ensure they get the products they want, delivered. Many businesses have adapted and created online storefronts and ecommerce platforms but the real winners in the space are those who go further, constantly innovating to keep up with the changing needs and priorities of consumers. One of the most effective ways to supercharge your online sales engagement is with a product configurator. We’ll discuss why it’s important, the key differences in configurator types and how to get started, below.

The contract and commercial furniture industry, like many others, has been disrupted by changes in the workforce, changes in client expectations for ready-to-ship products, and technologies for visualizing space live Virtual and Augmented reality. Juggling the expectations against time pressures to meet with clients and adjust design, update pricing, and manage delivery requirements all chip away at a salesperson’s time. To accomplish it all, dealers and contract furniture professionals increasingly need to rely on furniture sales software tools that let them do more in less time and fewer meetings.

Industry-built contract furniture sales software solutions such as The KITS collaborator make things a little easier. They help address pain points with traditional sales and planning methods and offer remote capabilities and new visualization methods that show the most realistic preview of the final product.
