What is StyleRow? An Overview for Designers
/
StyleRow is a trade-only sourcing and project management platform founded by award-winning designer Erinn Valencich, which she runs with her Beverly Hills-based team. With over 16 years of industry experience, including her own design firm, Erinn conceived StyleRow as a solution to save designers valuable time. With all the functions of numerous apps and programs on a single user-friendly platform, processes and communication are streamlined and much more time is left to actually design.
FROM INSPIRATION TO PRESENTATION
Unlike many other project management tools, StyleRow assists you from the earliest stages of gathering inspiration for your project. It hosts a lively marketplace that connects designers with high-end brands and showrooms and allows you to make direct inquiries to reps, such as customization or quotes. It has all the browsing ease of Pinterest, but you can source back all of the items and save them in your digital library. If you want to include items found elsewhere on the web, you can import those products with the clipping tool and add them all to your client presentation.
ON THE SAME PAGE
This is a solution that enables you to convert product collections into sleek presentations into budgets and reports, all with just a few clicks. No need to copy and paste or create separate presentations from scratch. It’s a centralized platform for all of your communication, both with your team and with your clients. You can comment on items with your team or use the drop-down menus to update their schedule and status. Keep track of your clients’ comments and item approvals in the same place. StyleRow also features an efficient filtering system so you can instantly sort by multiple criteria or create your own custom tags.
PROJECT BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING
StyleRow syncs to QuickBooks in order to simplify accounting. The budgeting tool lets you set a target range with alerts if you add products that take you over budget. You can also generate beautifully branded proposals. Select the details you’d like to share with your clients, such as your purchasing fee or margin, and automatically produce a custom presentation, which can be exported as a PDF with your logo.
If you’re looking for a solution to lighten the administrative workload in your design firm, you can try StyleRow with a free 14-day trial, as well as schedule a one-on-one demo with a StyleRow Concierge to get a closer look. Premium membership is good for unlimited users and unlimited projects and costs $133 per month or $1599 per year.
