The Challenge

Scattered Data Across International Offices

Multiple offices working on the same projects needed a centralized way to manage specifications, standards, and reporting.

✦

No Centralized Database Across Offices

Teams across different continents worked on the same projects without a shared, centralized source of information.
👥

Complex Brand and Value-Based Standards

The company needed to manage FF&E specification standards, brand compliance, and price-point-based product tiers consistently across projects.
↗

Outdated, Inflexible Previous Software

Their prior tool was machine-based, didn't support multi-location collaboration, and offered no customizable reporting.
The Solution

Fohlio's Centralized Design Platform

A Cloud-Based Platform Built for Multi-Location Collaboration

Fohlio replaced outdated, disconnected software with a cloud-based system that let every office work from the same data.

  • Cloud-based, shared platform — Let teams across continents work within the same system in real time
  • Budget trackers — Made project budget preparation faster and more accurate
  • Standardized spec books and reports — Brought consistency to spec book creation, report building, and product sorting
