Dealership furniture consists of purpose-built furniture and fitout solutions designed specifically for automotive dealership showrooms across Australia. Progressive Office manages the entire process from design and manufacture to storage and installation to ensure consistent quality across all network locations.
For national franchise networks, the critical requirement is the ability to replicate the same furniture specifications and quality at every individual site.
What is included in a point to point dealership service?
The service provides a full point to point solution covering design, manufacture, and receipt. It manages the entire supply chain including inventory management and a direct end user interface to coordinate logistics. This ensures that delivery and installation occur accurately across every location in Australia.
Why is a single supplier critical for national rollouts?
Consistency is the primary goal for national franchise networks to ensure one supplier provides the same product quality at every site. Progressive Office delivered this for over 120 Kia Motors Australia dealerships during a multi-year rollout. The company also demonstrated rapid scalability by delivering 18 Hyundai locations in 8 weeks.
When is bespoke furniture needed in a dealership?
Custom furniture is produced in the Progressive facility when standard catalogue options do not fit the design brief. This includes bespoke reception joinery and specialized boardroom tables tailored to the room dimensions. For example, an 8 metre wedge-shaped boardroom table was designed and built as the centrepiece for the ARB head office.
How does CAD planning assist dealership fitouts?
The process begins with a free office design and layout review provided by the in-house CAD team. This step creates the ideal fitout solution by analysing the specific space and people requirements of the dealership. The resulting CAD floorplans allow for precise placement of workstations and reception counters.
What types of furniture are commonly supplied for dealerships?
The range includes everything from ergonomic task chairs and workstations to specialized reception counters. High quality consistent ranges are provided to ensure that each dealership location maintains a professional and uniform appearance. This includes a mix of standard commercial furniture and custom bespoke pieces.
Where can a dealer verify product quality before ordering?
Visiting the Kilsyth or Knoxfield showrooms allows buyers to inspect the range and materials before committing to a large order. This removes the risk of product mismatch across a national network. Seeing the furniture in person confirms that the quality meets the expected corporate or franchise standards.
