The British Institute of Fitted Interiors Specialists (BIFIS) has launched a new and improved mobile app, delivering a modern, content-rich and user-friendly experience for professionals operating in the fitted interiors sector.
The new app, which replaces the original BIFIS app entirely, and has been developed following extensive user and industry feedback with a wide range of new features, tools and resources tailored to meet evolving industry needs. New functionality introduced focuses specifically on building communities, professional development and practical support for installation businesses. And, for the first time, the official BIFIS app is available industry-wide, not just for BIFIS registered businesses, bringing together the whole sector whilst delivering news, insights, resources, guidance, training and much more.
“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 four 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.”
As well as becoming the go-to resource for installation professionals, the new BIFIS app also provides 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 & development area of the app, is just one of the latest features, signposting users to available training opportunities, both online and in-person, across the fitted interiors sector – from health & safety to marketing, product-specific and technical modules.
The app is now available to download on both iOS and Android, as well as a desktop version which can be accessed via the BIFIS website.
