Good interior design thrives on clear communication, dynamic creativity and tailored, contextual problem-solving. At Programa, we strive to embody this ethos when crafting our bespoke tools to support creativity while streamlining the design process. Thanks to this, Client Dashboard and Product Approvals features are reshaping how designers, clients, and stakeholders collaborate.

Client Dashboards: Connecting Designers and Clients Globally

In just a few months, Programa’s Client Dashboard has quickly become a powerful tool for global design studios; over 3,000 unique Client Dashboards have been created and shared with clients by studios in 36 countries in the six weeks since we launched the feature.

The Client Dashboard isn’t just benefiting designers. The simplicity of accessing their project’s documentation, concepts and product specs in one place has led to over 20,000 unique clients and stakeholders adopting the Client Dashboard.

Think about the exhausting task of crafting mood boards, preparing presentations, and compiling product specifications for the various stakeholders in a hospitality project. Imagine the headache of tracking responses across countless email threads, numerous phone calls, and unending text messages. It’s a daunting, time-consuming process that can quickly get messy.

Now, step into a world where this is no longer your reality. Instead, you effortlessly integrate your existing product specifications and concept boards into an elegant, branded dashboard with a single click. This dashboard then reaches all the relevant stakeholders at once, gathering all their feedback neatly in one organized spot.

Fully integrated through the platform, you'll receive a notification once a client approves, rejects or comments on submitted products.

Product Approvals: Streamlining Feedback and Collaboration

Product Approvals have been swiftly adopted as the go-to solution for thousands of projects worldwide in just five weeks, with over 21,450 products marked for approval.

The power of Product Approvals lies in its simple yet impactful premise: giving clients the ability to review detailed product information, leave feedback and approve or reject products directly in their Client Dashboard. This innovative feature has significantly reduced the time spent in email threads and client meetings, eliminating guesswork and enabling designers to maintain their project momentum without sacrificing the client’s vision. Eliminating guesswork and fostering an environment of transparent, precise communication.

And it’s not just about making the approval process faster – it’s about making it more effective. The proof of Product Approvals’ impact is in the numbers, with over 10,000 products being approved in just five weeks. Reducing time-consuming revisions and improving client satisfaction and smoother project execution. Clients are more engaged, designers can work more confidently, and projects advance with fewer obstacles.

Fully integrated through the platform, you'll receive a notification once a client approves, rejects or comments on submitted products.
