Fohlio

AI-powered FF&E and OS&E specification and procurement platform

Cloud-based software that centralizes FF&E (furniture, fixtures & equipment), OS&E, and finish specifications for interior design and hospitality projects, then carries those specs through budgeting, vendor quoting, purchase orders, and procurement tracking. Syncs bidirectionally with Revit.

Pricing

$7.2M total (per Crunchbase/ZoomInfo), including a $3.15M Seed round in Sept. 2021 led by Brick & Mortar Ventures raisedGrowth Stage
Founded 2016 · 400+ companies across 6 continents / 15+ countries (per vendor, unaudited); named clients include Marriott, Accor, Hilton, Best Western, and Tiffany & Co.; 19M+ products specified and 80,000+ projects created on the platform. Note: founding year varies by source (2015 per ZoomInfo, 2016 per Crunchbase, platform "established" 2017 per company About page) — modest total funding ($7.2M) relative to a ~10-year-old company with enterprise hospitality logos suggests a capital-efficient/bootstrapped growth path rather than VC-fueled scale.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Interior design, hospitality, and procurement teams track FF&E, OS&E, and finish specifications across spreadsheets, PDFs, and email threads. Comparing budget vs. quote vs. actual spend across hundreds of line items per project, chasing vendor lead times, and routing approvals is slow and error-prone, and a spec change on one project does not propagate to related projects or a shared brand-standards library.

The Solution

Fohlio centralizes product specification, budgeting, and procurement in one cloud workspace. Teams import product data from spreadsheets, PDFs, or vendor web pages using AI-assisted extraction, build specs from a shared product catalog, track budget vs. quote vs. actual cost by line item/area/category, route purchase orders and invoices through dollar-threshold approval workflows, and keep FF&E schedules synced with Revit.
