Showrooms, dealers and architects around the world get the right answer on finishes, sizes, prices and lead times in a minute, in their own language, with the source. And your network learns every new collection through courses built from your own catalogs, ready in days. _Example: In the workshop someone asks whether a sofa can be made to measure: the Eko answers with the possible sizes and the delivery time, citing the made-to-measure rules._ ## Sound familiar? ### “Ask Chiara, she knows everything.” The product manager knows every finish, every made-to-measure exception, every market's rules. She spends her days answering showrooms and dealers, and the new collection waits. ### A plausible answer, a wrong order. A showroom abroad confirms a fabric that model doesn't come in. You find out in production, and the customer waits an extra month for the sofa. ### The collection launches in April. The German course, in September. Every new piece has to be explained to showrooms, dealers and agents, in the language of each market. Between texts, translations, videos and quizzes, training arrives once the season has already started. ## The questions that all go through one person today. With ekory they get an answer in seconds, with the source. Evenings and weekends too. - Does this velvet work on the Aria with removable covers? - Does the Velia armchair meet this specification? - What's this dealer's net price for the three-module Aria? - Is there a course on the Bordo line in German? - How do we clean a stain on Cuoio leather? - Where are the 3D files for the Lama table? _Example: Eko Upholstery answers a showroom abroad with its market's lead times, and suggests a fabric that arrives in time._ ## One Eko per product line, one for contract, one for training. **Eko Upholstery** For showrooms and dealers Every showroom knows what can be made: modules, allowed fabrics and leathers, made to measure, prices and lead times for every market. **Eko Contract** For architects and contract Specifications checked the same day: technical sheets, fire certifications, Martindale ratings and 3D files for every product. **Eko Academy** For network training Every new collection becomes courses, video lessons and quizzes in your network's languages, built from your own materials. Already using ekory: Molteni&C, UniFor, Citterio, Dada, Festool, Somfy [Read the customer stories](https://ekory.ai/case-studies) ## Shared where it helps, private where it matters. - Each dealer sees their own market's price list, not anyone else's. - Margins, costs and unreleased collections stay at headquarters. - Your product manager corrects an answer, and the fix applies to the whole network. [Security and data](https://ekory.ai/security) ## What manufacturers ask before they start. ### Does it answer showrooms and dealers in their own language? Yes. The Eko reads your catalogs, price lists and technical sheets, scanned ones too, and answers in the language of whoever asks, such as English, German, French or Chinese, citing the original document and page. Courses, video lessons and quizzes are prepared in your network's languages from the same materials. For Italian furniture it's no detail: the industry sells more than half of its output abroad, €14.2 billion out of €27.7 billion in 2025, according to FederlegnoArredo. ### Can each dealer see only their own price lists? Yes, if you decide so. Create a group for each market or dealer tier, one for showrooms and one for architects and contract, and share with each only their folders: each country's price lists stay with the people who should see them, technical sheets and 3D files reach architects, and internal margins never leave headquarters. Each Eko reads only the folders you give it, and conversations stay private. ### Do we have to move our catalogs and price lists? No. ekory reads files where they already are: Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Notion, folders on your company file server and your website. When a price list changes or a new sheet comes out, answers follow the updated version, and your files are never modified. The company file server connection keeps folders up to date without opening any access from outside; every connection is on the [integrations page](https://ekory.ai/integrations). ### How much does it cost for a company like ours? For 80 people across headquarters, showrooms and agents, the total is €779 a month, excluding VAT: €199 for the platform plus a per-person fee that drops in tiers. If you open ekory to your dealers' staff too, 200 people come to €1,399. Pay annually and you pay for 10 months out of 12; the [pricing page](https://ekory.ai/pricing) works it out for your headcount. ### Does our know-how stay in the company? Yes. Your data is stored in Europe, and your content, preview collections included, is never used to train AI models: it's written into the contracts with the providers, including Google. Permissions apply to every document, folder and Eko and are checked on every question. People sign in with their company Microsoft account (Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory), a Google Workspace account or an email link; the details are on the [security page](https://ekory.ai/security). ## The same method, in other trades. - [**Machinery and plants** When a machine stops, the fix arrives right away, on every shift.](https://ekory.ai/manufacturing-operations) - [**Construction** Specifications, safety plans and change orders for every site, on a tablet.](https://ekory.ai/construction-companies) - [**Fashion and textiles** Tech packs, swatches and suppliers for every collection, found in a moment.](https://ekory.ai/fashion-textiles) - [**Wineries** Appellation rules, tech sheets and export papers, for agents and buyers.](https://ekory.ai/wineries) - [**Agriculture** Rules, deadlines and protocols, always at hand in the field.](https://ekory.ai/farmers) - [**Distribution networks** Price lists, part numbers and stock for the whole network, even on Saturdays.](https://ekory.ai/distributors) [All industries](https://ekory.ai/industries) ## Bring us the catalog with the most combinations.
