Technology vendor Furniture Wizard has added new mobile features to its iPad-based point-of-sale system.

Enhancements include new increased search capabilities that make it quicker to find the products customers are looking for.  Incorporation of swipe gestures takes advantage of native iPad features making for a more intuitive user experience. A new merchandising feature allows creation of item relationships directly on the iPad to make up-selling easier.

Enhancements to Furniture Wizard's growing Web presence include a new Room Builder feature that allows customers to build packages on the fly with controlled options.

"Allowing people to design their own packages has always interested us," said Martin Fischbein, founder and president of Furniture Wizard. "Finding a way to let people build and purchase the rooms is the easy part, the challenge that we overcame with this feature was creating a simple intuitive way for retailers to administer the website function."

Included in Furniture Wizard's latest Web sites is the integration of full social media support, also including the new sharing forum Pinterest.
   
"Furniture Wizard has undergone one of its largest updates ever to support the new web and mobile technology," said Evan Faller, business development officer at Furniture Wizard.

Advanced features include a delivery system that centralizes the delivery process including a calendar and map view of the deliveries, printable delivery slips, picks lists, and manifests. A simplified delivery processing procedure with one click posting saves time and eliminates errors. A new partnership with ChargeItPro, a leading payment processing provider, gives retailers access to integrated credit card processing that will match or outperform current fee structures.
   
Furniture Wizard serves more than 2,000 retail stores. Furniture Wizard will show at High Point Furniture Market in the Retailer Resource Center at the Plaza Suites, first floor, booth 42.
