Features

Project Management

A major milestone for Programa this year. This feature offers a comprehensive, industry-specific view of your studio, redefining what project management can look like for designers.

I love the Project Management tool. Every Monday, I can review what was done on the project, and throughout the week, I have a live format where I can easily add tasks.

Integrations & Sharing

Canva Sharing

Understanding the importance of Canva in studio workflows, this integration allows you to embed Canva files directly into Client Dashboards. It centralizes proposals and assets, ensuring everything stays organized and accessible.

QuickBooks Integration

QuickBooks integration simplifies invoicing and payment tracking. With tax rates, contact syncing, and automated invoice creation, it reduces admin workload and lets you focus on your designs.

I use Canva all the time, so knowing Programa is constantly looking to improve and listen has given me full confidence that it'll support me and my practice. I love it!

Upgrades

Centralized Client Dashboard Controls

Whether you’re onsite or working remotely, resupplying Client Dashboard links is now quicker and more intuitive. Mobile-responsive controls ensure schedules and files are always within reach.

Custom Currency & Measurement Settings

Built for a global design community, this feature supports international currencies and measurement systems. Tailor these settings to each project or your entire account for seamless billing and specification.

Advanced Tax Management

Managing tax has never been easier. This update lets you handle regional tax requirements flexibly, with inclusive or exclusive options at both project and product levels.

Shared Invoices

A practical solution for faster billing. Share invoices directly via Client Dashboards, providing clients with clarity and ensuring designers get paid promptly.

Hidden Schedule Status

Keep your specifications under wraps until they’re ready to share. Whether fine-tuning updates or presenting polished drafts, this feature puts you in complete control.

Side Nav Redesign

A refreshed navigation experience tailored to designers. Switching between specs, mood boards, and schedules is smoother, making every step of your workflow more efficient.

Product Details Panel

Everything you need, in one view. From financial breakdowns to client approvals and attachments, the Product Panel keeps your specs detailed, organized, and export-ready for collaboration.

Clients have provided nothing but positive feedback on Programa. They love the ease of use, being able to see options, larger images, and direct links to product sites. Contractors particularly appreciate the on-site QR codes that keep them updated on changes and current selections.
