Step 5: Employees and training

The qualifications of your employees are crucial to the success of your kitchen studio. Hire competent employees who can advise customers professionally. Train them regularly in the latest products and trends.

Step 6: Online presence and marketing

A strong online presence is essential in today's world. Develop a user-friendly website and use social media to engage with potential customers. Implement an effective marketing strategy to promote your kitchen studio.

Step 7: Customer experience

Step 9: Software integration

Integrating the right software solutions can significantly improve your kitchen studio. Here are some software aspects you should consider:

3D planning software

Invest in high-quality 3D planning software that allows your customers to visualize their future kitchen in 3D. This software makes planning interactive and facilitates decision-making.

Accounting and inventory software

Use accounting and inventory management software to efficiently track your finances and stock levels. This enables precise management of your resources.

CRM software

Customer relationship management software helps you to manage customer contacts, maintain customer relationships and plan marketing campaigns. This strengthens customer loyalty and promotes the success of your company.

Website and e-commerce platform

To sell kitchens online, you need a well-designed website and an e-commerce platform to take orders. These platforms should be seamlessly integrated into your business processes.

CAD software

What our customers
have to KüchenDesk say

Find out here why our customers use KüchenDesk and are thrilled.

Before KüchenDesk , we had problems due to separate systems and programs for kitchen planning, invoicing and assembly planning, as well as a confusing filing of customer documents.

With KüchenDesk , all processes and documents are united in one system, which improves the overview of orders, facilitates communication between departments and even optimizes the work of assemblers thanks to online flexibility. We recommend KüchenDesk and are looking forward to further developments of this innovative system.

Managing director of Moin Küchenwelten

Prior to KüchenDesk , we did not work in the cloud, which limited our workflow. Through the contract with KüchenDesk , we now have access to a cloud-based solution that gives us ease of use and significantly speeds up the transfer of data.

The cloud functionality of KüchenDesk has revolutionized the way we work and enabled us to transfer data more efficiently. We can definitely imagine working with KüchenDesk in the future. The outstanding support and the fast accessibility of the team have made collaboration even easier.

Pascal

Managing Director of Gerdum Kitchens

The introduction of KüchenDesk effectively addressed existing problems such as inconsistent handling processes, duplicate data maintenance and a lack of overview of stock levels.

Although the problem has not yet been fully resolved, KüchenDesk shows promising progress towards a unified digital solution that creates a central source of information and enables faster processing. With its clear process structure, KüchenDesk already offers the opportunity for team scaling and I actively recommend it as it is accessible to studios of all sizes and already covers a significant proportion of my work processes.
