BIFIS launches new mobile app with expanded features

The British Institute of Fitted Interiors Specialists (BIFIS) has announced the launch of its new and improved mobile app, which it says delivers a 'modern, content-rich and user-friendly experience' for professionals operating in the fitted interiors sector. 

The new app has been developed following user and feedback with a wide range of new features, tools and resources tailored to meet evolving industry needs. New functionality is said to focus on building communities, professional development and practical support for installation businesses. In addition, for the first time, the official BIFIS app is available industry-wide, not just for BIFIS registered businesses, delivering news, insights, resources, guidance, and training.

“This launch represents a major step forward for how we support the industry,” said Michelle Daniels, director of marketing & communications at BIFIS. “We’ve had an app for 4 years and it was a great tool for BIFIS registered businesses to manage their registration and access their benefits, but we wanted to create more than just an app – we wanted a shared space where people can learn, connect, and grow together. By opening access to the wider industry, we’re strengthening collaboration and raising standards across the board.”

The new BIFIS app is also intended to provide a platform for manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and training providers to proactively support the institute in its objective to build a professional, sustainable workforce for the future. The 'Skills Hub', a central learning and development area, is one of the latest features, signposting users to available training opportunities, both online and in-person, across the fitted interiors sector.

The app is now available to download on both iOS and Andriod, as well as a desktop version which can be accessed via the BIFIS website.
