How to make an app for a furniture shop

A furniture showroom sells big pieces that rarely leave the same day: the sofa on display is sold but delivered from the godown, a bed is ordered in another finish from the supplier, and the family wants delivery after Sunday's puja. An app keeps showroom and godown stock, each customer order, delivery days and balances together, so you can answer 'when will my sofa come?' without calling three people.

Who uses the app

The owner, showroom staff and the delivery team. If only one showroom phone uses it, data can stay on that phone. If the godown or delivery team update it from their own phones, or customers browse a catalogue, connect your own Supabase database so everyone sees the same stock and orders.

The screens a furniture shop app needs

Stock: Each model with photo, size, material and finish, how many are on display and how many in the godown
New order: Customer details, pieces from stock or to be ordered in another size or finish, price, advance and balance
Orders: Each order with its pieces, source (godown, supplier or workshop), expected date and status
Deliveries: Pieces ready to go with delivery day, address, floor and lift, fitting needed and a Google Maps link
After-sales: Complaints after delivery with the order, photos of the problem and a status
Catalogue: For customers: pieces by room with photos, sizes, materials and a WhatsApp enquiry button

Features worth asking for

Display and godown counts for each model, so a sold display piece isn't sold twice
Pieces ordered from a supplier or workshop tracked with an expected date
Photos of the chosen design and fabric attached to the order
A WhatsApp message to the customer with the delivery day and the balance due
Order confirmation and final bill as PDFs to share or print
Delivery list by day with floor, lift and fitting notes for the team
A phone reminder two days before each promised delivery date

Where the data lives

One showroom phone can keep the data on itself. If the godown or delivery team use their own phones, or customers browse a catalogue, connect your own Supabase database; to take advances in the app, connect your Razorpay account as well.

Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your furniture shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my furniture shop, Thomas Furniture House in Kochi. Screens: stock, new order, orders, deliveries, after-sales and catalogue. Stock shows each model with photo, size, material, finish, and counts on display and in the godown. An order has the customer, pieces from stock or ordered from a supplier or our workshop in another size or finish, price, advance and balance, with an expected date. Deliveries show the day, address, floor, lift and fitting. A WhatsApp button sends the delivery day and balance. Bills as PDFs. Catalogue with a WhatsApp enquiry button to 98XXXXXXXX. Teak brown and off-white colours.

Tips for a furniture shop app

Give every model a short code and use it on the display tag, the godown shelf and the app.
Move a display piece to 'sold' the moment the order is booked, so staff don't promise it to a second family.
Photograph the chosen design and fabric swatch at the time of order; it ends 'this is not the colour I chose' disputes.
Note the floor and whether there is a lift for each delivery, so the right number of helpers go.
Keep the customer catalogue to models you can supply again, with sizes.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't make 3D designs or room planners, and it doesn't connect to your suppliers' systems or accounting software, or send messages by itself. Delivery updates go out when you tap the WhatsApp button and send.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app show what is on display and what is in the godown?

Yes. Each model has two counts, display and godown, and a sale or order lowers the right one.

Can I track pieces ordered from a supplier for a customer?

Yes. Each piece in an order shows where it comes from, the expected date and its status, so you know which orders are waiting on a supplier.

Can the app show which deliveries are running late?

Yes. Ask for a list of orders past their promised date, or not ready two days before it.

Can customers pay the advance through the app?

Yes, through your own Razorpay account after connecting Razorpay and Supabase. You can also show your UPI QR on screen at the showroom.

Can I record complaints after delivery?

Yes. The after-sales screen keeps each complaint with the order, a photo of the problem and a status until it is fixed.

Can the delivery team find the customer's house from the app?

Each delivery can have a Google Maps link and a call button, so the team can open directions on their own phone.
