Room planning

For the detailed planning of room situations and the clear presentation of the planning, the room planning enables a quick and safe transfer of the structural measurement into the planning system. If it is necessary to adjust the room planning, e.g. after a detailed measurement, numerous functions can be called up. 

If an architect's drawing or a digital measurement is available, these can be used (depending on the data format) to create the room. 

Installation objects such as connections for water, gas and electricity are also provided by iX PLAN and can be planned with dimensional accuracy.

Interior planning

The salesperson creates a basic configuration for the respective planning, e.g. with the front types and materials to be used, which apply as a default for all articles in this planning. Of course, this configuration can be modified for each article within the framework of the stored product logic. 

The interior planning is usually done in the 3D view. However, it is also possible to plan in the top view or view. 

The articles to be planned can be positioned quickly and safely, even in complex situations.

In iX PLAN, articles are usually very diverse. To ensure that the configuration of the articles can be carried out easily and securely by the salesperson, both the interface of the configurator and the product logic of the respective catalog are stored in the iX PLAN master data.

Master data and product logic are maintained and distributed by the data administrator.

Offer preparation

Based on the planning, an offer is created. The article sales prices can be calculated in different ways or queried via interfaces, e.g. in the ERP or in a price database. If necessary, prices can be changed in the order manager. Discounts can be granted on the basis of stored rules or by manual entry. 

Drawing output

With the new assistants for drawing output, the salesperson can quickly and reliably generate and output the desired drawings, including coloring, dimensioning, labeling and individual additions. This includes floor plans and views but also countertop and installation plans. 

Rendering / Virtual Reality

In addition to various options for photorealistic output (renderings), virtual reality can also be used in the design phase in direct dialog with the customer. In this way, furniture planning can be experienced virtually and shared with friends - together in the showroom or at home. 

An interface is available for exporting plans to various output formats and especially for use in virtual reality tools.

The ordering of the sold furniture planning in the factory is done paperless via the online service Plan Link. With just one click, the salesperson exports the entire planning and transfers it online to the manufacturer. No additional paper or e-mail transmission is required. Plan Link works independently of 3rd party systems or platforms.
