The design and the money live in different tools
Concepts and files sit in one app, products and purchasing in a spreadsheet, invoices somewhere else, and the books in accounting software that knows nothing about the project.
Interior design software to run your whole studio in one place.
For a studio that sources and resells product, Studio Designer is the closer fit, with procurement and a general ledger. Workspace369 fits studios that earn design fees, with catalog-based proposals, invoices matched to client purchase orders and a client portal from $29 a month, plus inventory and accounting from Specialist; our guide to the best interior design software compares them.
Most studio tools stop at the pretty part.

Moneyinvoices, payments, expenses, and accounting
Workspace369 keeps the client record, the proposal, the product catalog, the invoice matched to the client's purchase order, and the books (expenses, inventory and basic accounting from Specialist, full accounting on Commander) attached to the same project — so the studio runs the design and the money together.
Key facts
Interior design software at Workspace369 covers 10 areas, including client profiles and requests, branded client portal, proposals and quotes.

Additional seats cost $10 each; full pricing is public on the Workspace369 pricing page.
Interior design software compared
The best interior design software depends on whether you resell product or earn design fees. Studio Designer ($79 per user a month, billed yearly) lists purchase orders, procurement and a general ledger, so it fits studios that source and resell product. DesignFiles and Programa add a clipper and boards or quotes. Workspace369 fits studios that earn fees and want proposals, deposits, a portal and invoices from $29 a month, and it matches client purchase orders to invoices on every plan, but it has no mood boards.

What breaks inside the studio stack
Product work is rebuilt by hand
Line items, prices, and purchase orders get re-typed from the proposal into orders and invoices, and stock or package details drift between versions.
Profit is guessed, not known
A paid invoice looks healthy until product costs, expenses, and delivery time are counted against it — per project, per client.
See the workspace your clients feel.
01
Every channel in one inbox
Email lands beside the client record on every plan; texts, calls and voicemail join it from Voyager, with AI call summaries from Specialist.
02
Client work, organized as projects
Tasks, files, and status for every engagement — visible to the team and, through the client portal, to the client.
03
Proposals to paid invoices
Send quotes, bill milestones or retainers, and let automated reminders chase anything outstanding.
04
A portal clients actually check
Clients watch progress, files, and invoices in a branded portal instead of asking your team for updates.
How Workspace369 runs the studio end to end
01
Capture the brief
Track client profiles, requests, intake details, files, and every conversation in the shared inbox — email, SMS, calls, and AI summaries attached.
02
Price the proposal
Build proposals and quotes from your product catalog — products, services, and packages with accurate pricing that clients approve online in your branded portal.
03
Source and purchase
Match each invoice to the client's purchase order, track inventory and expenses against the project (both from Specialist), and keep product costs visible before the invoice goes out.
04
Bill and keep the books
Send invoices with payment links on every plan; from Specialist, run payment plans, record expenses, and report profitability per project, with accounting connected to the same record.
