Firms in iFurn.pro are suppliers of panel and edge materials and processing services: companies that accept orders, cut and process the materials, and ship finished parts (not finished furniture). A single account lets you work with several firms at once and switch between them inside the cabinet.

All connected firms live in the «Firms» section. Each firm appears as a card with its own contacts, order statuses, and a button to open its personal cabinet.

What a firm connection gives you

  • One account, many firms. No separate sign-ups for each; one sign-in covers them all.
  • Direct access to the firm cabinet. The firm card opens newgo, where you create and track orders.
  • Order history at hand. The section shows order counts per status.

How to connect a firm

  1. Open «Firms».
  2. In the «Available to connect» block, tick one or several firms.
  3. Press «Connect selected». They move into the «Connected firms» block.

Right after connection the firm card shows a contacts toggle; status badges appear once the firm has orders. To place the first order, switch the firm to active and open its cabinet — see below.

How to switch between firms

The active firm is the one your current session acts under. Its card shows the «active» mark and the buttons «Personal cabinet» + «+ New order».

  1. Find the firm in the connected list.
  2. Click «Set active». The page refreshes and the «active» mark moves to the chosen card.
  3. Click «Personal cabinet» — newgo opens on that firm's host with an auth-redirect sign-in (no second login).

What the «Firms» section shows

  • Contacts. The «Contacts» toggle reveals the firm's phones, email, website, and address.
  • Status badges. Number of orders in each status (in editing, confirmed, in production, ready, shipped, etc.). Click expands the list.
  • Expected deliveries. For the active firm — the nearest delivery dates (planned production date + 2 working days).
  • Order history and messages. Clicking an order row opens a window with details and history: status changes and messages from the firm. The ✉ envelope with a number appears next to an order only when it already has messages.

How to disconnect a firm

An inactive firm with no orders shows a cross button — it disconnects the firm from the account. The firm itself and its data on the iFurn.pro side are not deleted; the firm simply disappears from your connected list.

A firm with orders or the active one cannot be disconnected. First switch to another firm and wait for open orders to close.
