Finding furniture that match the current interior style of the office might require a lot of time and effort from business owners. Hiring an interior design company might cost more than being viable for SMEs or startups. A quick and easy way to get recommendations and previews of how the furniture would match the colours of the current space without having to engage in cost-intensive manual work needs to be found.

Operational Challenges
Operational Challenges
Offering furniture to the end customers requires either an intricate network of partners or is considerable ops heavy. Muro is a service which could be structured in two ways:
1. Relying solely on referral earnings while outsourcing the logistics to external partners. Muro, therefore, becomes a shopping assistant for office furniture. However, considerable revenue streams only emerge when entering adjacent verticals (financing, insurance, etc).
2. Integrating much more of the business vertical and engaging not only in finding furniture but also in selling them. While offering more control over the user journey and gaining more revenue potential this venue is much more operational and capital heavy.
