Sound familiar?
What interior designers tell us before a project starts.
- I copy product details from a vendor site into a spreadsheet one item at a time.
- Client approvals come by text and email and I can't prove what was signed off.
- Purchase orders go out late because I'm building them by hand.
- I don't know which items have shipped, which are backordered and which arrived damaged.
- Invoicing for deposits and orders is a manual job I put off.

Example projects
Illustrations of the shape of the work, not past clients. Yours gets its own written scope.
Example project
Save a product to the spec sheet
Example: a designer browsing vendor sites clicks a button to save the item name, size, finish, price and picture into the project's specification sheet.
Chrome extension, Google SheetsExample project
Approvals by room
Example: a residential designer sends a client a page for the living room with each selection, and the client's approval of each item is logged with the date.
Airtable, a simple web page, emailExample project
Backorder watch
Example: a studio reads vendor shipping emails, updates each item's status in the order sheet and tells the designer when something slips past its date.
Gmail, Google Sheets, Apps ScriptQuestions people ask first
Do we have to change the software we use?
No. Whether you run Houzz Pro, Ivy or a set of spreadsheets, we start with what you use and remove the copying between steps.
Who owns what you build?
You do. It is built in your own accounts, and you get notes on how it works so your team can change it without us.
Can it work from the field?
Yes. Saving products, checking order status and sending approvals can all be done from a phone.
