Abstract
Systems and methods display and manage showroom items of a vendor. A first computer terminal is connected to a wireless communication network and programmed with automatic updating software to update information and/or multimedia data indicative of the showroom items. The systems and methods include a digital line sheet having a display, a memory and a first wireless transducer connected to a microprocessor. The first wireless transducer is connectable to the first communication network such that the digital line sheet communicates with the first computer terminal via the first communication network. The display of the digital line sheet renders the information and/or multimedia data received from the first computer terminal over the wireless communication network. The first computer terminal automatically updates the information and/or multimedia data accessible by the digital line sheet to be indicative of one or more available showroom items of the vendor. The systems and methods enable a buyer to use the digital line sheet in a showroom of a vendor to access information about the showroom items and to record notes and preferences pertaining to the showroom items. An order can be prepared and finalized using the digital line sheet in the showroom or subsequently from a remote computer terminal via a website of the vendor.
