Specifying for Jewish Families

Yossi G. is an interior design company that has a wide profile of projects across the United States. They specialize in enhancing the experiences of many commercial, residential and religious spaces. Many of their clients are Jewish families, who have very specific needs when it comes to appliances.

An Easier Process For Identifying Project-Appropriate Products

One especially intriguing aspect of this company was its strong grassroots in Jewish design. Yossi G had many synagogue-building projects. Synagogues have distinct characteristics and elements that are orchestrated to create the uplifting experience of a religious space. This meant that it was important for the company to uphold its standards for design and product choices when building and designing synagogues (as well as their other spaces). The designers were in need of an easier process that helped them identify products that are best suited for the design of their projects. Before Fohlio, they were managing their master list through Excel.

Product Cataloging and Optimization At Their Fingertips

After onboarding with Fohlio, Yossi G. built a master list of pre-approved product catalogs for easy specification during their designing stages. Using a digital materials library meant they were able to manage even granular product attributes. Their products were easily tracked and approved by their in-house product librarian and over time, that allowed them to get better at making informed product recommendations i.e. much fewer mistakes.
