Introducing Programa's Procurement Hub: Simplifying Procurement for Designers
At Programa, our mission is to make life easier for interior designers and architects. Managing multiple tasks simultaneously is a core skill required in running a successful studio. One of the most challenging aspects of any project is sourcing, quoting, purchasing, and facilitating the delivery of products on behalf of clients.
Challenges Faced by Designers in Procurement
Designers often find themselves communicating with over 30 brands simultaneously, each with different sales reps, payment terms, purchasing terms, and delivery schedules. Managing this process across multiple projects, clients, and deadlines can be overwhelming and prone to errors.
The current process of managing procurement involves spreadsheets, emails, to-do lists, and manual tracking, which can lead to costly mistakes and project delays. There's no easy way to share procurement details with clients, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
Introducing Procurement Hub
Today, we're excited to announce the launch of Procurement Hub, the first of several tools designed to streamline the procurement process for designers. Procurement Hub allows designers to manage procurement tasks directly within their schedules, providing important information at a glance.
How Designers Can Use Procurement Hub

Easily mark deadlines as completed: Mark deadlines as completed directly from the Hub, eliminating the need for manual data editing. Manage files: Attach relevant quotes, purchase orders, and invoices directly to products within schedules for easy access and sharing. Future Enhancements
Procurement Hub will continue to evolve with added automation, including synchronized quote requests, purchase orders, and more, further simplifying the procurement process for designers.
