Now you're in the Showroom! But what do you do now?

First, we'll show you around some of the Showroom's basic functionalities. Let's begin!

Entering the Showroom

When entering the Showroom, you'll land in your presentation overview.

If you have not created your own presentation yet, this page will appear empty. Start creating your own presentation, or duplicate one of your colleague's presentations.

The presentation overview

This is where you will find all your presentations and any presentation created by your colleagues.

You can go to the drop-down menu to view 'All' presentations and duplicate a presentation of one of your colleagues, or create one from scratch. Check out below how you can create a new presentation!

The Showroom launch page

From here, you have access to 4 brand videos to welcome your customer into your brand's world and the collection. Or, dive into your presentation straightaway!

Story selling is key

From the launch page, you have access to your video library! Take your customer into the brand's world, by showing some brand, inspirational, or seasonal videos - before diving into the actual collection.

Review your Selection

Are you wondering which products on a slide have been added to the Selection already?
​

​

When you go into the Selection tab, you can review your selection with your customers and make tweaks from there.

Manage deliveries

You can optionally manage your deliveries/drops in the Showroom as well, ie. move products to (a) later delivery drop(s).

Draft your order

You have the ability to draft your order already in the Stitch Showroom.

You can enter quantities per SKU to all items that you have added to the Selection, and have preliminary discussions about quantities and budgets during your appointment.
​
Depending on if there's an existing connection to your order management system, you might be able to send off your draft order to the order management system to finalize and submit your actual order.

Send and/or export your presentation

You can easily generate presentation exports in different formats, that can be send to you and/or your customer's inbox:

  • CSV data

  • Excel

  • PDF Presentation (overview of your presentation slides)

πŸ’‘ You can choose if you want to include or exclude prices in your exports

πŸ’‘ If an integration has been set up from the Showroom to your order management system, you can directly send your draft order including quantities from the Showroom to your order management system by clicking on Send draft order.
