1. Overview

Furniture Business Management turns Dolibarr into a dedicated, end-to-end management platform for companies that sell furniture and furnishings: office furniture, home furniture, professional furniture, kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, school, medical, hospitality and industrial furniture, decoration articles, furnishing accessories and custom-made pieces. It covers the entire business cycle — catalog, purchasing, stock, sales, CRM, fit-out projects, delivery, installation, after-sales, warranties, financing, promotions and reporting — without needing any external software.

The module is natively integrated with Dolibarr's third parties, products, stock, shipments, orders, quotes, invoices, payments, banking, accounting, projects, agenda, documents (ECM), e-mails and REST API, so furniture-specific processes enrich — rather than replace — the standard ERP.

Read and write are granted by default on activation; delete and administration are opt-in. Roles typically map to: administration, management, sales, buyer, warehouse, delivery, installer, after-sales manager, accountant and read-only.

6. Native Dolibarr integration

The module reuses and enriches native modules: third parties, products, stock, shipments, receptions, orders, quotes, invoices, payments, banking, accounting (standard & advanced), suppliers, contracts, projects, agenda, tickets, ECM documents, e-mails, notifications and the REST API.

7. Configuration & demo data

A dedicated setup page lets administrators define default currency, VAT rate and reservation deposit, generate a complete demonstration dataset (showrooms, brands, collections, products, customers, sales, projects, deliveries, installations, warranties, invoices, payments…) in one click, and remove all demonstration data with confirmation.

8. REST API

The module exposes a REST API (class FurnitureManagement) with endpoints for the catalog (GET/POST products) and sales (GET/POST sales), secured by the same permission groups. The generic, registry-driven design makes it straightforward to extend to any of the 24 objects.
