Integration of Programa in the Design Process
Penelope Romero highlights how Programa has streamlined their design process. The software offers a clean interface where clients can view items in a polished, professional format and access detailed information with a simple click. This feature has significantly improved client engagement and their understanding of the design vision.
Sacred Spaces enriches their presentations by integrating curated Canva boards into Programa, resulting in visually stunning and precise client presentations. Programa’s real-time update feature stands out, allowing any changes to be instantly reflected in the client interface, thus eliminating time-consuming resubmissions and enhancing responsiveness to client feedback.
Once a presentation is approved, items are transitioned into their respective schedules within Programa, complete with detailed information and budgets. The product status update feature allows tracking of progress, enabling clients to check status updates without constant emails. Programa’s bulk email functionality for quotes has simplified the procurement process, automating tasks and allowing more time for creative design work and client interaction.

Previously reliant on multiple programs, the studio now benefits from Programa’s all-in-one solution, keeping everything organized and ensuring no details fall through the cracks.
