INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS ANALYTICS
See how your interior design studio is performing over time.
Use connected project and finance records to understand revenue, realised product markup, estimated tax, costs, profitability, billable work and studio growth. Move from a top-level result to the projects and activity that created it.
For lead designers and studio owners who want practical reporting for pricing, capacity and growth decisions without maintaining a separate spreadsheet dashboard.

QUESTIONS
About business analytics in Workspace.
What should interior design business analytics measure?
Useful measures include design-fee revenue, realised product markup, eligible studio costs, estimated tax, billable time, project profitability and period-over-period growth.
Can I review previous months?
Yes. Reporting windows allow the studio to compare current and historical monthly performance.
Does reporting count client product money as studio revenue?
No. Product funds, contractor payments and reimbursable client costs should be excluded from recognised studio revenue.
How is business analytics different from finance analytics?
Finance analytics focuses on monetary performance, while business analytics combines finance with workload, project and growth context.
