The Flameplace web service was created as a single working tool for all professionals of the interior market and private customers.
The service is based on a content library from the catalogs of factories and interior items available in the warehouses of manufacturers and suppliers. To interact with this library were developed all the necessary interactive tools for full-fledged professional activity.
Companies of the interiors market using our service receive all the necessary data and automation of most work processes. This allows you to significantly reduce the time of working on projects and provide / get access to all catalogs and stocks.
Customers have access to manufacturers' catalogs and the opportunity to get information about interior items available in stores in their city or country, without leaving their homes.
Usage logic
Just like in real life, we have implemented in our service five main roles of market participants - Factory, Supplier, Designer, Agency, Customer. Each of these roles received its own set of tools and capabilities for full-fledged work.
We have recreated all the rules of the market and the logic of its work - you do not have to relearn.
The idea of the service is as follows:
Factories register, create their own pages and upload the contents of their catalogs with prices and data on the availability of finished products in warehouses to a common content library.
This will allow them to repeatedly expand their sales markets and increase sales volumes. At the same time, marketing costs are reduced and the time spent on projects is reduced due to the automation of work processes.
Other market participants use this library to create their projects in the Configurator. With the help of content filters by characteristics, they find and fill each of the rooms with everything they need and, through Suppliers, request proforma from Producers.
Based on requests from Suppliers, Factories automatically generate proformas and send them to Suppliers, who generate invoices for Designers and/or Customers.
By the same logic, Suppliers add interior items that they have in warehouses and showrooms to the library, and Designers and Customers can form their projects or their parts from ready-made products.
This allows Suppliers to increase their sales many times over due to greater coverage of customers, and allows Customers and Designers to know exactly what is available in their city, region or country and not waste time launching in production and logistics.
Designers, in addition to access to a huge library of interior items, get the opportunity to work together on a project with Customer and Supplier. After registering on the service and creating your page, other users will be able to invite them to work on their projects, which will increase the amount of work for them and greatly simplify the search for clients.
