Announcing New Features and Pricing Updates

Pricing Update
Australia
Updated: 29 August 2024

At Programa, we’re committed to helping you streamline your design projects, boost efficiency, and enhance your client relationships. Since our launch in 2021, we’ve worked tirelessly to refine and expand our platform, thanks to your invaluable feedback. Today, we’re excited to share some of the latest enhancements we’ve rolled out, as well as a forthcoming update to our pricing.


What’s New at Programa?

Over the past three years, our team has been dedicated to continuously improving Programa, averaging four enhancements every single day. These updates have transformed how you manage your projects, interact with clients, and handle the day-to-day operations of your design studio. Here’s a look at some of the powerful features we’ve introduced recently:

1. Invoicing & Accounting Integrations:
Connecting with Xero and QuickBooks is now easier than ever, allowing you to streamline your invoicing and financial management directly within Programa.

2. Client Dashboards & Communication:
Our branded dashboards provide your clients with real-time access to project details, enhancing transparency and improving communication.

3. Studio Management Tooling:
Our latest major update includes centralized management tools designed to help you streamline workflows and boost your studio’s productivity.

And that’s not all—our team has been hard at work on a variety of enhancements, from improving loading times to introducing multi-select options and adding flexible currency and tax settings. Every update we’ve made is geared towards making your experience smoother and more efficient.


Looking Ahead: Upcoming Features

We’re not stopping there. Our mission to innovate and evolve Programa is ongoing, and we’re thrilled to announce some exciting new features that will be coming soon:

1. Canva Integration:
Soon, you’ll be able to seamlessly integrate Canva with Programa, making it easier to design and present your projects with a professional touch.

2. Overhauled Procurement Tools:
Our procurement tools are getting a major upgrade, designed to simplify the process of sourcing, ordering, and managing products within your projects.

3. Groundbreaking Product Specification Feature:
We’ve been developing a new feature that’s set to revolutionise how you specify products. This tool will reduce the time it takes to specify products by an incredible 70%, freeing up more of your time for creativity and client collaboration.

These enhancements are part of a broader effort to ensure Programa continues to meet your needs and helps your studio thrive.


Pricing Update: Supporting Continuous Improvement

To continue delivering the features and support you love, we’re making a slight adjustment to our pricing. Starting from your first invoice in September, our per-seat pricing will increase to €59. This is our first price change since we launched in 2021, and it reflects the significant improvements we’ve made to the platform since then.

We understand the importance of affordability as your studio grows, so we’re introducing a discount for additional seats. After your third seat, each additional one will be available at a reduced price of €29, allowing you to scale your team more affordably.

This price adjustment ensures that we can continue to invest in new features, provide top-tier support, and maintain the quality you’ve come to expect from Programa.


Thank You for Being Part of the Programa Community

We’re incredibly grateful for your continued support and the feedback that helps us improve Programa every day. These updates are just the beginning of what we have planned for the future, and we’re excited to continue this journey with you.

If you have any questions about the new features or the pricing update, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team. We’re here to help!

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thank you for being part of the Programa community.


Zoe Lowres,

Cofounder, Programa
