Houzz Pro is great for residential designer-friendly templates. Fohlio is built for hospitality, multi-property, and complex commercial work — with customizable specs, robust procurement, detailed reporting, and the depth that complex projects demand.

Fohlio supports composite items, attic provisions, case-pack optimization, multi-currency, brand-approval indicators, and discontinued-product tracking. Houzz Pro's residential-friendly fields aren't built for the technical depth of large hospitality or commercial FF&E.
Fohlio lets you customize fields, templates, workflows, and permissions per field, per project, per category. Houzz Pro's rigid fields and limited permissions make collaboration across HQ, properties, and vendors hard at scale.
Fohlio aggregates spend, RFQ outcomes, and procurement performance across your full portfolio. Houzz Pro's reporting is one of the most cited reasons teams leave when projects scale up — Fohlio's analytics surface bulk purchase opportunities and forecast rebates.
“When our projects grew past a single residence, we needed real spec depth and real procurement — not a marketplace and a designer-friendly template. Fohlio gave us full traceability from clip to PO to reconciliation.”
