Overview
Sara Hospitality provides hotel furniture, fixtures, and equipment for hospitality clients, combining customization, affordability, quality, and service. Its digital solution supports product discovery, customization, ordering, real-time tracking, and secure payments for a smoother FF&E procurement experience for modern hotel projects.
Business Requirement
Sara Hospitality needed a reliable, customer-focused digital experience that could address common hotel supply challenges, including delayed deliveries, limited customization, inconsistent quality, and complex procurement coordination. The platform needed to present a comprehensive FF&E catalog, support customized product requirements, simplify online ordering, provide real-time order visibility, and enable secure transactions. The objective was to connect product discovery and procurement through a seamless digital experience while supporting Sara Hospitality's commitment to affordability, quality, timely delivery, and long-term client relationships for clients.
-
We listened before we specified
Two weeks of calls with counsellors and program graduates came before a single screen was drawn. The feature list we arrived at was shorter than the one we were handed, and everything left on it had someone who could say why it mattered.
-
One screen the app opens to
Everything a client needs on a bad day sits on the first screen: today's check-in, the next meeting, and the call button. Nothing that could wait was allowed to compete with those three for attention.
-
Offline is the normal case
Meetings happen in church basements with no signal, so the app was built assuming there is no network rather than treating that as an error state. Check-ins queue on the device and sync when the phone finds a connection.
-
Built for the counsellor too
The staff side got the same attention as the client side. A counsellor can see who has checked in this week without exporting anything, which is the only reason the data has stayed current a year after launch.
