Helping the Furniture Business to Help Their Clients

When buying a new home or re-furnishing an existing one, it is sometimes difficult to estimate what furniture will fit and what will make the room look over or under furnished. Enter the world of internet space planning, which allows both businesses and personal users to map out floor plans. Icovia, the number one online space planner that is launched by more than 10,000 consumers daily, makes their space planning software even more robust and user friendly with the just released upgrade to Icovia Business Edition Version 3. The new version, which includes many new features and improvements, is free to all existing Business Edition users and will be automatically rolled out to clients in mid-January. Icovia is the leader in online space planning due to ease-of-use for customers on the front-end as well as the powerful sales and marketing intelligence on the back end.

Icovia has become the Planning Tool of preference for over 80 leading companies such as Furniture Find, Storehouse, Nautilus and La-Z-Boy. Icovia increases the velocity of the sale by answering a key question consumers ask when buying furniture??will it fit in my home?? The new version will make it even easier to help answer that question. Icovia Business Edition users will find the updated space planning software more feature-rich and user-friendly with an improved user interface and new options like print to scale and UNDO, performance enhancements and the addition of many new icons.

Best of all, the application is easy to use, without software to install or time-consuming downloads. This ease of use and robust functionality is providing huge returns to Icovia users. For Business Edition clients like Furniture Find, Icovia offers much more than a space planning solution. In order to save or print room plans, customers enter contact information which is fed into a customer preference database. Using Icovia reporting tools, users pull detailed reports including customer profiles and room preferences as well as what furniture has been viewed. This makes Icovia an invaluable sales and marketing tool, as well.
