INTERIOR DESIGN CLIENT MANAGEMENT

Keep every client informed without exposing the studio’s private work.

Manage the client relationship across the full project lifecycle. Keep contact details, project context, approvals, messages, meetings, documents, invoices and handover information connected to the work they belong to.

For designers who want a polished, consistent client experience while keeping internal notes, costs and studio operations private.

QUESTIONS

About client management in Workspace.

What does client management software do for an interior designer?

It organises client information, communication, approvals, dates, documents, invoices and project access around a single relationship.

Is client management different from a client portal?

Yes. Client management is the studio’s broader relationship workflow; the client portal is the secure interface the client uses to view and respond.

Can clients see private studio costs?

No. Client-facing views can be separated from private studio information such as trade prices and internal financial analysis.

Can a client have more than one project?

The relationship can connect to multiple project records while each workspace keeps its own scope, dates, documents and decisions.
