AI for Furniture & Home Goods

The AI receptionist for furniture retailers, home goods stores, and decor brands

It answers every delivery question, white-glove installation request, lead-time inquiry, fabric / finish question, and showroom appointment — across voice, SMS, chat, and email.

The Problem

Delivery and lead-time questions kill conversion

Furniture orders are 3-4-figure decisions. Shoppers will not check out without a clear delivery ETA, lead time, and white-glove install confirmation. Frontdesk answers from STORIS, Genesis Furniture, or your furniture-specific POS in real time.

Lost 3-4-figure sales

Showroom appointment booking is high-touch

Booking showroom visits, designer consultations, in-home design appointments, and measurement appointments requires back-and-forth coordination. Frontdesk handles the full booking flow — proposing times, confirming, sending reminders.

Hours wasted on coordination, missed appointments

White-glove delivery and install coordination is complex

Furniture delivery requires window selection, white-glove install confirmation, assembly options, removal of old furniture, and access logistics (stairs, elevator, narrow doors). Frontdesk runs the full delivery coordination conversation.

Missed deliveries, refused deliveries, lost margin

Fabric, finish, and customization questions take expertise

Custom upholstery (fabric, finish, leg style, dimensions), kitchen + bath finishes, lighting wattage, rug fiber + cleaning — questions need expert answers. Frontdesk handles them from your product catalog and escalates to a designer when needed.

Lost customization sales, slow design consultation
