In this insightful editorial, we explore the journey of Cúpla, an innovative interior design studio, and their successful integration of Programa’s advanced interior design software. As a multidisciplinary creative studio, Cúpla specializes in spaces, interior architecture, and product development. At the core of their practice is the concept of parity, where every element finds its place through its relationship with others. This philosophy is evident across their diverse projects, ranging from dynamic retail and commercial ventures to intimate high-end residential designs.
Cúpla’s design culture is deeply rooted in the principles of juxtaposition, eclecticism, balance, and warmth. They have cultivated an environment where collaboration flourishes, driven by a passion for their craft while maintaining a light-hearted approach. Their project selection is guided by a commitment to authenticity and a desire to push the boundaries of design, attracting clients who share their vision and ethos.
Before adopting Programa, Cúpla faced several challenges with their previous software, ESTIPC, which functioned merely as a basic Excel spreadsheet. The lack of image display capabilities alongside item descriptions and limited client interaction options resulted in administrative inefficiencies and frequent data handling errors. Additionally, the graphical output did not align with Cúpla’s brand image, further complicating their workflow.
The introduction of Programa's interior design software brought a transformative impact on Cúpla’s project management, workflow, and client relationships. The software’s comprehensive project specification storage, accessible from anywhere, ensured seamless coordination across teams. The product library streamlined their approach, particularly with projects like the RIXO stores, significantly reducing procurement time.
One of the standout features of Programa is the client dashboard, which has proven invaluable for Cúpla. It allows them to present multiple options, such as furniture pieces, for client approval at their convenience, eliminating the need for constant meetings. This flexibility has expedited the decision-making process and enhanced client satisfaction.
The procurement tab in Programa has also been a game-changer, providing an overview of various production stages and deliveries across multiple projects. This feature has become an integral part of their daily routine, helping maintain project momentum and avoiding delays.
In summary, Programa's interior design software has revolutionized Cúpla’s operations, enabling them to focus more on creativity and innovation while ensuring the logistical aspects are under control. The integration of technology and design has not only enhanced their efficiency but also elevated the overall quality of their work, reinforcing their reputation as a leading interior design studio.
