Houzz Inc. announced significant updates to the Clipper and Selections sourcing and procurement features within Houzz Pro, the project management and design software that helps pros win projects, collaborate with clients and teams and run more efficient and profitable businesses. The Clipper is now available on mobile with a native, AI-powered experience in the Houzz Pro app, while new Selections tools streamline the workflow from product discovery through project execution.
The AI-powered Clipper is integrated directly into the Houzz Pro app and allows professionals to capture product details, pricing and images from any mobile browser. Pros can quickly save products to their library and add them to proposals, selection boards and project budgets without installing extensions or additional tools.
“The future of sourcing is mobile, AI-powered and completely seamless, and now we’ve brought this to the Houzz Pro app,” said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and CEO. “With the mobile Clipper, it’s easier for pros to capture products from anywhere and easily move from inspiration to execution. Combined with new selection board templates and placeholders, Houzz Pro provides a more complete solution for managing sourcing, selections and project budgets in one place.”
New Houzz Pro Selections updates include the ability to clip from URL, add Selections board placeholders and save Selections board templates.
Pros can source products in seconds by pasting a product URL directly into a Selections board, allowing them to capture product information from any website without installing extensions.
Users can also add placeholders before final product decisions are made, helping teams track quantities and budget allowances early in the project. Once a final product is selected, all the images and details replace the placeholder while preserving quantities, comments and financial data.
Finally, professionals can now save existing Selection Boards as templates or create new templates from scratch for a repeatable selection process. Paired with placeholders, templates provide a roadmap of the items needed for a project so teams can stay organized and ensure nothing is missed.
“The Houzz Pro Clipper is a lifesaver,” said Jonathan Gordon, founder of Design by the Jonathans. “It gathers all of the information for you while you’re on the go. It’s fast and easy to use. When you clip a product to your library, all the images, descriptions and pricing are ready to pull into a proposal.”
The Houzz Pro Clipper and Selections tools are available to all Custom package subscribers. The tools are fully integrated into Houzz Pro and complement a robust set of features that help pros manage the complete project lifecycle, including Estimates, Invoicing, Takeoffs, 3D Floor Plans, Mood Boards, Online Payments and more.
