They’ve earned recognition such as the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award, AD 100, Interior Design Magazine Best of Year Awards, and much more. We are honored to support them and we’d love to support you, too.
DesignSmart has the most comprehensive feature set of
any project management system on the market.
Minimize overhead and maximize profits by outsourcing data entry
and procurement tasks to our professional and affordable staff.
Because it eliminates dual entry, our QuickBooks Connector
is our most popular optional module.
Why settle for “off-the-shelf” software when you can have
DesignSmart customized to work the way you need it to work?
Our optional modules let you select the ones you need so you don’t pay for any that you don’t.

6 Reasons DesignSmart Stands Out
There are dozens of project management systems available for interior design firms and trying to figure out the differences between the various offerings is challenging and can take forever. To help save you hours of time and frustration, here are six facts about DesignSmart that will help you understand how it stands apart from the competition.
Reason #1
DesignSmart Can Be Customized
Reason #2
Works With QuickBooks
Ask any accountant and they will recommend that your firm use QuickBooks for many reasons, but most first firms are put off by the prospect of having to do dual entry.
Our QuickBooks Connector is a two-way connection that pushes data to QuickBooks and pulls data from Quickbooks resulting in the elimination of all dual entry and costly errors.
Reason #3
We’ll Take A Load Off
Most designers spend the majority of their day doing non-design DRUDGE work like sourcing and purchasing. That’s crazy! Let DesignSmart’s experienced professionals, together with an enhanced version of DesignSmart, relieve you of most of the busy work, so you can focus on being a designer and growing your business.
Reason #4
Works With The Apps You Love
DesignSmart works with the most popular apps so you can be as be as efficient as possible.
Reason #5
Software That Grows With You
Our optional modules allow you to start with just the core DesignSmart software you need today, then add modules as you grow. Ready to expand into hospitality? Need a way to manage inventory? Adding a retail component to your offerings? DesignSmart has optional modules for these and other focus areas.
Reason #6
Commercial Grade
The average DesignSmart client has 9 designers, so over the years we have developed dozens of in-depth features that larger firms require and are not available in other project management systems. Whether you are a new designer starting out, or with a large firm, these features can help your team operate more efficiently and profitably.
