See the floor
Open your showroom and look at what is in place today—zones, displays and the pieces in each one. No hunting through spreadsheets, group chats or a binder at the front desk.
Floor merchandising for furniture retail
Know what’s on your floor—and what needs to happen next.
Retailers have systems for buying inventory and systems for recording sales. What is often missing is a system for managing the physical floor between them.
Zonative keeps one shared, current picture of your showroom: what is on display today, what you plan to move next, which jobs are still open, and what your team actually finished—from plan to confirmed placement.
Built for the showroom, not the back office. Works on an iPad while you walk the floor, and keeps working when the Wi-Fi drops.

On display: 128 pieces · 14 zones. No unresolved work on this view.
Tap any display to see what belongs there, what is planned for it, and what your team has confirmed.
The daily reality
One floor. Five versions of the truth.
The floor plan is in a spreadsheet. The latest change was agreed in a hallway. The photo of the new sectional is on somebody’s phone. And the only complete picture of what is actually on the floor lives in the head of whoever worked the last shift. When that person is off, the questions start over.
One connected process
Four steps, start to finish.
The same short loop covers a single display change or a full seasonal reset—plain language, not jargon.
Plan the change
Lay out the change before anyone lifts anything. The plan sits next to today’s floor instead of replacing it, so you can still see what is really there.
Do the work
Your team opens the open-work list on an iPad on the floor and sees exactly what needs to move and where it goes. Anyone on shift can pick up the next item.
Confirm the result
Whoever did the work marks it finished, takes a photo, or notes what happened instead. That is the moment the floor record updates.

Proof that the work happened
Know which moves were completed, cancelled, conflicted, or still need confirmation.
Visual records that know when they may be wrong
Identify display photos that became stale after confirmed floor changes.
Three ways to work
The same floor, shown the way the job needs it.
Floor, List and Gallery are three views of one showroom. Switch between them whenever the task changes—position when it matters, rows when you need to search or work through a lot at once, and images when the look is what you are checking.
The detailed work happens in Floor and List; Gallery is the lightest of the three views.Where the work actually happens
The floor cannot stop when the network does.
Showroom Wi-Fi is patchy, warehouses are worse, and market weeks are the worst of all. Offline operation is foundational to Zonative: floor views, moves, confirmations, notes, flags and photos continue through weak connectivity and synchronize safely once you are back on the network.
Offline floor operation is a foundational V1 capability currently being completed and verified.One shared operating model
A clearer operation for everyone.
