“If I want to reuse a fabric or a specific color, and I can't remember what it was, it’s all right there,” says Olsen. “You collect the money from clients and pay it out to vendors, all through the software.” After a job is finished, Design Manager, which costs $38 to $50 per user, per month, serves as a grand database. “Those key documents for all specified items move through to accounting,” says Paoli. 2 It’s designed to help every builder and every budget, by offering an easy-to-use platform where you can manage projects, financials, and resources all in one place. 1 As of 2021, it has over 1.6 million users. The software tracks all associated costs, including taxes and freight, and reflects changes in real time, allowing a designer to quickly generate client proposals, purchase orders, and invoices. Procore was founded in 2002 in California and is a cloud-based construction management software. A custom sofa, for instance, can be entered into the system with selected fabrics, trims, and finishes. To do so, Design Manager tracks every component of every room, for every project, from start to finish.
“We handle all those everyday business activities, so you can save time and money and stay organized.” “Interior design is very complex, with a lot of moving parts,” says Lindsay Paoli, chief operating officer of Design Manager.
Although each company offers some different features, the goal is always the same: to allow designers to spend more time designing and less time worrying about business minutiae.
