Programa
Programa is studio management software built for interior designers, interior decorators and architects. It brings the business side of running a design practice into one place: product specification, FF&E schedules, procurement, project management, time tracking, invoicing and client approvals. Most design studios run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, email chains and shared drives. Specifications live in one file, budgets in another, supplier quotes in an inbox, and the latest version is always in question. Programa replaces that patchwork with a single source of truth, so the whole studio and every client works from live, up-to-date information. At the core of Programa are Schedules: live FF&E schedules, finishes schedules and specification sheets that update in real time for everyone who needs them. Add products once to your Product Library, complete with supplier details, trade pricing, lead times and documentation, then reuse them across every interior design project. The Web Clipper captures products from any supplier website in seconds. Procurement is built in. Raise purchase orders, track orders from quote through to delivery and install, and keep margins visible with RRP and trade pricing side by side. Budgets, invoicing and payments live in the same platform, so nothing needs re-entering and nothing falls through the gaps between tools. Clients get a branded Client Dashboard where they can review selections, leave comments and approve or reject items in a click. No more chasing decisions through week-long email threads, and every approval is time-stamped in a permanent audit trail. Pinboards and Presentations let you share visual concepts and mood boards from the same place your specifications live. For the studio itself, project management tools cover tasks, phases, deadlines and team workloads, while Time Tracking ties every logged hour to a project so billing is accurate and profitability is visible. Studio-level reporting shows where projects and budgets actually stand. Programa is built by designers, for designers. It is not CAD or 3D rendering software; it is the operational backbone that runs alongside your design tools and handles everything else, from first specification to final invoice. More than 10,000 design studios across 80+ countries manage over 50,000 projects on Programa, from solo interior designers to multi-office architecture practices.
