Business challenge: Bernhardt Furniture Co., Inc., a furniture manufacturer in

the United States, is a prominent exhibitor at High Point Market, one of the

world’s largest furniture industry trade shows. The company desperately needed

a solution to streamline its presentation, sales and ordering processes.

The smarter solution: Bernhardt developed a mobile virtual showroom app for

Apple iPad devices, providing sellers with quick access to the most up-to-date

product information and eliminating error-prone and time-consumin­g

paper-based processes. Sales representatives can now demonstrate product

views, including materials, fabrics, colors and finishes. And with just a touch of

the screen, they can display products in-situ in various virtual showroom

configurations. The mobile app can also rapidly publish pricing or inventory

changes, freeing personnel to perform more value-added tasks.

―The reaction from the team has just been phenomenal. They are beyond excited

that they don‘t have to lug all these binders around, that they have everything in

one simple, easy-to-use tool.‖
