Home, furniture & interiors — One accessory, a whole-house project behind it.

Halia spots company billing, recurring addresses, and prime locations, so you can offer terms and a dedicated contact, the difference between a single sale and a multi-year trade account. McKinsey & Company measured a 10 to 20% revenue lift when top clients moved into a managed programme; for interiors, trade terms are that programme.
