Key Features
Interior Design & Architecture ERP System

Project Milestone & Timeline Setup


A robust design studio ERP system must provide tools for precise project stage tracking and delivery control:

  • Milestone Tracking: Define specific project phases (concept, design development, construction documents) and map client sign-off rules.
  • Timesheet Management: Log hourly consult times, site visits, and design tasks against specific projects for accurate billing.
  • Resource Scheduling: Assign designers, architects, and render specialists to project tasks based on timeline capacity.

Vendor & Material Procurement


Track custom material sourcing, supplier RFQs, and purchase orders with complete visibility:

  • Material Costing: Automatically track costs for finishes, fittings, and furniture (FF&E) and calculate markup margins.
  • Supplier RFQs & Purchase Orders: Coordinate with custom fabricators, furniture makers, and building supply vendors.
  • Inventory Tracking: Manage physical stock levels at studios and transit shipments to construction or project sites.

Client Billing & Retainer Management


Operate efficiently and manage studio cash flows with integrated billing tools:

  • Retainer Management: Invoice and track client retainers at project kickoff and apply them to subsequent stage billing.
  • Progressive Invoicing: Generate bills automatically when project milestones are signed off by the client.
  • Customer Portal Approvals: Allow clients to review design selections, approve budget sheets, and pay invoices online.
