Updated: 14 January 2025

In today’s design landscape, balancing creativity and project management can feel like a high-wire act. Complex supply chains and soaring client expectations demand a solution that makes your workflow seamless. Programa—an all-in-one FF&E platform built by designers, for designers—helps you maintain quality, consistency, and profitability in every project.

Hero

1. Specification Management Command Center

Where creativity meets organization

At the heart of every successful project lies precise product information and supplier coordination. Programa streamlines it all with digital product libraries, automated spec sheets, and real-time pricing updates. You can also track supplier relationships without jumping between multiple tools.

Project Management

I love the Project Management tool. Every Monday, I can review what was done on the project, and throughout the week, I have a live format where I can easily add tasks.

2. Project Management Suite

Your project’s mission control

Forget juggling countless spreadsheets and loose email threads. Programa’s project management suite gives you a visual timeline to track milestones, built-in collaboration tools to keep your team aligned, and automated tasks to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. This means less time digging for details and more time focused on actual design work.

Pro Tip: Use project templates to replicate your most effective FF&E processes across multiple projects.

 

3. Procurement & Financial Tools

Where design meets profitability

Great design needs a robust financial backbone. Programa makes it simple to generate purchase orders, track shipments in real time, and manage supplier payments—all from one interface. You can also monitor project budgets, create professional invoices, and avoid costly oversights that could derail your margins.

Client Dashboard

4. Client Dashboard

Building trust through transparency

Clients crave clarity. Programa’s client dashboard offers a live view of project updates, approvals, and budgets in one easy-to-navigate portal. This transparency fosters a stronger client relationship, reduces frantic email exchanges, and helps ensure there are no unwelcome surprises at any stage of the project.

 

5. Digital Design Libraries

Your creative arsenal

From mood boards to product images, design inspiration can come from anywhere. Programa consolidates your creative assets and integrates seamlessly with Canva for polished, interactive client presentations. Your curated ideas are accessible in seconds, saving you from the dreaded “hunt through folders” routine that can derail your creative flow.
