Join the Conversation: Bridging the Gaps in Interior Design Software

/

Whether you're a seasoned industry expert or a budding designer, the demand for comprehensive software solutions is on the rise. Despite the availability of numerous popular platforms, there persists a longing among interior designers for a system that bridges the functional gaps and takes their productivity to new heights. As an advocate for enhancing the industry, I believe it's time to initiate a meaningful conversation and identify the missing pieces. By doing so, we can inspire developers to bridge these gaps and create the ultimate all-in-one solution that seamlessly integrates project management and administrative features, meeting the common functional needs sought after by designers like you.

I invite you to explore this (surely incomplete) list of functions that I repeatedly hear designers seeking in a project management program. What would you add?

  • Task Tracking

  • Time Tracking

  • Procurement Tracking

  • Project Timeline & Milestones

  • Team Communication

  • Client Communication

  • Vendor Portfolio

  • Moodboard & Presentation Creation

  • 2D & 3D Drawing

  • Budget Tracking

  • Template Creation

  • Invoicing & Purchase Orders

  • Bookkeeping

  • Performance Analytics

  • Mobile App Compatibility

And to think these are just some of the many moving parts that designers juggle behind each beautiful project! Beyond these crucial functions, I often come across shared grievances from designers concerning the project management program they utilize. Do any of these hit close to home for you?

  • Poor User Interface (UI) Design

  • Limited Integration

  • Complexity and Learning Curve
