The Challenge
Steven Miller Design Studio, a full-service interior design firm, faced challenges in managing projects across a dispersed team and client base. Before adopting Studio Designer, they relied on a mix of spreadsheets and QuickBooks, creating an inefficient and cumbersome workflow.
Coordinating design elements, proposals, financials, and client communication across multiple tools made it difficult to track project progress and maintain a seamless design process.
The Solution
Studio Designer provided an all-in-one solution that centralized design, project management, and financial tasks in a single, cloud-based platform. The firm leveraged Studio Capture to aggregate design elements and easily organize them by room or project. With the Client Portal, they streamlined communication, giving clients real-time access to proposals, timelines, and project updates.
By integrating bookkeeping and project management into one system, the team eliminated the inefficiencies of using multiple platforms. Now, design presentations, financial tracking, and team collaboration are all seamlessly connected, ensuring that team members—whether remote or on-site—can access, update, and share project details instantly.
Business Impact
Enhanced Client Communication
The client portal provides real-time updates on proposals, timelines, and project fulfillment, improving transparency and client satisfaction.
Seamless Team Collaboration
Team members can access and update project details from anywhere, improving coordination across remote and on-site staff.
Intuitive and Easy to Use
The firm found Studio Designer easy to learn and implement, allowing them to adopt the system quickly and maximize its benefits.
“With Studio Designer it’s all in one place… Prior to Studio Designer, we were using spreadsheets and QuickBooks. It was a hodgepodge, it was inefficient, and it was cumbersome.”
