Jacob Holtz Company -- furniture hardware, metal stampings and casters
harnesses the Internet's tremendous potential into an opportunity for purchasing and sourcing agents of furniture manufacturers to connect with suppliers all over the world to get the right product at the right price at the right time.
Plenty of distributors will help furniture stores deliver to their residential customers. Others specialize in office furniture. Still others distribute foreign-made furniture in the U.S.
I could not find any that act as intermediaries between U.S. furniture manufacturers and U.S. retail stores.
Most furniture chains are regional, not national.
Equally important to the outlook is how the solid housing market
will help demand for home-related goods and services. Traditionally, consumers
buy the bulk of their furniture, electronics, and textiles within a year of
purchasing their homes.

delivery links service set
by Brian Carroll
Furniture Today, Jan. 15, 2002
A new consulting firm formed by a long-time transportation
industry executive is offering furniture companies links to last-mile delivery
providers, including national, regional, local and line haulers.
Edward C. Tracey, former president of Bekins Home Direct, has launched ECTConsulting. Beginning Feb. 15, he
will offer an Internet-based subscription service to let retailers,
manufacturers, e-commerce companies and catalog operations deal directly with
end-line consumer service providers - and potentially take costs out of
deliveries.
