Business Challenges

Furniture Homestore  needed a way to make their entire selection of products available in their Homestores without expanding their retail space. The product catalog project arose out of the need for an “endless aisle” solution.

Solution

Plego Technologies created an in-store, touch screen product catalog application that allowed Furniture Homestore guests to browse and search their entire product collections. This solution was a Microsoft.NET based solution with a SQL Server back-end that fully integrated with Furniture Homestore Microsoft Dynamics ERP system. Real item product and pricing information was available directly from Dynamics to each and every kiosk.

The solution was hosted locally on each kiosk in order to maximize system performance and download times.
