    Eposly brings home and lighting sales and payments directly into Salesforce. Staff capture showroom visitors, build the order with stock in view, take a deposit on special orders and set delivery for each item. The order and payments stay connected to the customer record your showroom, warehouse and online teams already use.

    • Showroom visitors captured as leads or customers in Salesforce
    • Deposits on special orders, balance collected on delivery
    • Delivery set for each item on the order

    In the showroom

    What makes selling home decor and lighting different?

    A home and lighting sale runs across channels and weeks.

    Customers shop across channels

    They browse online, visit the showroom and expect staff to see both.

    Not every visit ends in a sale

    Showroom visitors who are not ready to buy need following up.

    Special orders take weeks

    A deposit now, and the balance when the items arrive.

    Orders arrive in parts

    A room's worth of lighting and decor can be delivered on different dates.

    Trade buyers come back

    Interior designers expect their pricing and order history to follow them.

    Questions buyers ask

    Can we capture showroom visitors who are not ready to buy?

    Yes. Staff record the visitor as a lead or customer in Salesforce while they are in the showroom, so your team can follow up.

    Can one order be delivered in parts?

    Yes. Fulfilment is set for each item on the order, and the deposit, payments and delivery stay on that one order until the last item is delivered and paid.

    Can staff take payment anywhere in the showroom?

    Yes. Staff sell from a tablet on the showroom floor, with the customer record and the order on screen, and take card, cash or mobile payment in the same flow.
