MLM software for woodworking and furniture industry

Furniture is bought after someone has sat on it, slept on it or seen it in a friend's house. A furniture maker or a woodworking business that sells through a network pays for that: a commission to the customer, dealer or interior designer whose recommendation brought the order, and a smaller one to the people who built the network of recommenders. MLM software for the woodworking and furniture industry is Daani's MLM software configured for it: a catalogue of pieces with their wood, finish and size variants, made-to-order items with a lead time, delivery and assembly as part of the order, dealers and designers in a hierarchy and a compensation plan the software calculates every period. More than 100 companies in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and other countries run their networks on the software. This page covers what a furniture network needs from the software, the plans these companies run, the path from an order to the payout and the cost.

What a furniture network needs from the software

• Pieces, variants and collections. A table comes in three woods, four finishes and two sizes; the product management module holds them as variants of one piece with their own prices, and groups pieces into collections and rooms so that a member can link to a piece, a collection or the whole catalogue.
• Made to order. Most furniture is built after the order. A made-to-order piece carries its lead time instead of a stock figure, the order shows its status from confirmed to built to shipped, and the commission is reserved at the order and paid when the piece is delivered, or at the order, as you set it.
• Delivery and assembly. Delivery, assembly and an extended warranty are options on the order with their own price; the order history in the customer's account keeps the invoice and the delivery date, which is what a warranty claim needs.
• Dealers, designers and customers. A furniture network has three kinds of members: dealers with a showroom, interior designers who specify pieces for their clients, and customers who recommend. Each is a member type with its own rates in the same plan, placed in the genealogy under its sponsor.
• Online and showroom sales. An order placed through a member's page goes through the gateways; an order taken in a dealer's showroom is recorded through the manual payment entry or the integration module with the dealer's billing, so that the network is credited either way.
• Repeat sales. Cushions, covers, care products, lighting and décor are the recurring part; they are sold from the same shop and paid on every reorder.

Plans furniture networks run

A maker that sells through customer recommendations pays them with the unilevel plan: a member earns on their own referrals and a smaller percentage on a few levels of the members they bring in. A dealer and designer network with tiers uses a stair step plan or a generation plan, in which a member's share depends on the volume of the dealers under them. A company that sells one high-value piece per customer and wants fast team growth uses the binary plan, and décor and care products are paid with the repurchase plan. The plans overview compares them, and the demo is configured with the plan you send.

From order to payout

1. A dealer, a designer or a customer joins from the company's site or from another member's page and receives their page, their app and their back office.
2. A buyer orders a piece through the member's page or in the showroom; the deposit or the full price is paid through the gateway or recorded at the counter.
3. The piece is built, shipped and assembled; the order status moves with it, and the sale is credited to the member when you set it to be.
4. At the end of the period the software calculates the commissions from the plan, the admin approves the run and the payout goes to the members' wallets or bank accounts.

Who uses it

Furniture makers and woodworking workshops that sell direct; mattress and bedding brands sold by recommendation; home décor companies with a repeat catalogue; and interior designers' networks that specify and sell pieces for their clients. A company whose range also covers handmade goods configures the shop the way the handicraft page describes, and one that sells appliances or electronics with it the way the kitchen appliances and electronic business pages do.

Cost

The ready-made 4G package costs $50 to $150 USD per month and the 5G and 6G packages up to $800 per month, hosting on the Daani server, updates and support for as long as you are our client included; a maker with a catalogue, a plan and a network of dealers and customers runs on it. A customised edition, for instance with the made-to-order statuses or the showroom integration built the way your workshop works, is a one-time project: 3,000 for the 5G package and 6,999 for the 6G, with discounts of up to 70% from time to time. The pricing page has the full list.

Frequently asked questions

Can a designer be paid differently from a customer? Yes. Designers, dealers and customers are member types with their own rates in the same plan and the same calculation.

When is the commission on a made-to-order piece paid? At the order, at the delivery or at the full payment, as you set it; a cancelled order reverses the reserved commission.

Can we take a deposit? Yes. A deposit and a balance are two payments on one order, through the gateways or the manual payment entry.

Does it work in several countries? Yes. Prices, currencies, languages and gateways are set per country, and a collection can be offered in some countries and not in others.
