According to Manoj Nigam, CEO and President of MicroD, “We have continued our focus on bringing productive solutions to the Home Furnishings Industry and are excited to launch this next-generation web-based tool. With eCommerce becoming paramount to success in our industry, online shoppers build their confidence when they see their selections properly fit and arranged into their space. Collaboration between interior designers and their clients is greatly improved with this online visualization tool. We are dedicated to helping our clients seize new opportunities to better engage with consumers, enhance collaboration, and sell more furniture.”

MicroD’s new cloud-based OmniPlanner application requires no software installation. OmniPlanner can be used on Windows and Macintosh PCs, tablets, and smart phones. It easily works with either a mouse or a touch screen. It is responsive and dynamically adjusts to accommodate any screen size. Extensive online help ensures that even novice users quickly become experts. OmniPlanner is the only integrated room planner in the industry that makes it easy to select products while browsing the website and send them to the room planner for placement.

As an integral part of a retailer’s or a manufacturer’s website, OmniPlanner allows consumers and interior designers to easily create the room that they envision and share it with others online. The process begins by creating the room’s walls; then furniture is simply dragged and dropped into place. Doors and windows are easily included to add important details and realism to the plan. A handy undo feature ensures that a misstep is never a serious concern. It is easy to select products from the website and add them to the plan. One can duplicate items, rotate them, and position them appropriately within the room. The plan can be annotated with text and important measurements. Consumers and interior designers can save and print their dream room plans, and share them via email. A complete shopping list is available that lists all the items within the room. To facilitate collaboration, the email that is created includes both an image of the room plus a link that may be used by the recipient to continue editing and refining their own copy of the plan!
