Studio Management for Interior Designers & Architects
Standard project management tools weren't made for interior designers. That's why we built Programa—studio management designed specifically for the way you actually work.
Why standard project management tools don’t work for interior designers
You didn't become a designer to spend your days juggling scattered tools, chasing approvals in email, and wrestling with systems that don't match your workflow.
Not built for industry
Generic project management tools are not designed for design studios with procurement, phases and client approvals.
Scattered tools cost you time
Project management in one app, time tracking in another, invoicing somewhere else and specifications in spreadsheets.
Missed signals
Your to-do list doesn’t talk to your specifications. Your time tracking doesn’t talk to your specifications. Everything lives in silos.
Scattered communication
Approvals buried in email threads. Specifications shared via PDF. No single source of truth for what’s been approved and what’s still pending.
Programa brings everything together in one platform—built specifically for design workflows. Manage projects, track time, send invoices, and collaborate with clients, all in one place.
Structure doesn’t slow you down. It sets you free.

Project Management
Keep every phase of a project organized, from concept to installation. Centralized task tracking and scheduling help studios manage timelines, approvals, and collaboration without relying on external tools or disconnected spreadsheets.
Phases & Milestones
Mark crucial steps like site visits or client presentations, so your entire team knows the plan.
Task Management
Create, track, and manage tasks. Customize with Task Name, Description, Assigned Team Members, Target Dates, Phases, Attachments, Subtasks and Comments.
Multiple Views
Three distinct views (Board, List, Timeline) help you organise and track tasks visually, in detail, and by project phases.
To-Do to Done
Track your projects from ‘To Do’ to ‘Done,’ enabling your studio to focus on seamless, organic progress.
Invoicing
Handle payments and client billing directly from your workflow. Clear, accurate invoicing ensures transparency and consistency between design, procurement, and finance, reducing administrative errors and time spent reconciling accounts.
Save time
Automatically generate invoices from your schedules and time tracking entries, eliminating the need to switch between platforms.
Get paid faster
Utilize our integrations with Quickbooks and Xero to streamline payment tracking and reduce delays.
Confidence in compliance
Our advanced tax settings ensure your invoices meet regional tax requirements, enhancing financial accuracy and reducing errors.
Simplify your workflow
Manage taxes with confidence, and focus more on what you do best; designing beautiful spaces.
Product Library
Maintain a single, searchable database of specifications, suppliers, and pricing. A structured product library gives designers faster access to information, consistency across projects, and a reliable record for future reuse.
Find products by name, category, or brand in seconds - not hours.
Simply 'Add to Schedule'
Select the necessary Schedule and add it directly to the necessary section.
Simple Schedule creation
Reuse products on multiple projects without re-entering details.
Time Tracking
Measure effort across every project and phase. Built-in time tracking helps studios understand workload, improve accuracy in billing, and make data-driven decisions about project capacity and profitability.
Start, pause, and stop time directly from task cards without switching tools, unlike competitors that require third-party integrations.
Real-time visibility
Studio owners can filter entries by project or date to monitor progress and productivity as it happens, rather than relying on after-the-fact reporting.
Simple and accurate records
Edit or manually add entries, attach notes, and keep all time data stored in one dashboard, ensuring cleaner records than platforms with rigid or fragmented inputs.
Client ready exports
Instantly export entries to Excel for accurate reporting and easy sharing, removing the manual formatting steps common with less integrated systems.
Many platforms cater to Builders; none are Designer or architect-specific. Logging into Programa makes everything so much easier.
