Why connected apps

Use specialist tools without fragmenting the client experience.

The goal is not to replace the tools designers already know. Workspace gives the client one place to access the results of those tools.

01

Keep the client inside one project.

Invoices, presentations and interactive models stay accessible from the same Workspace instead of arriving as unrelated links.

02

Use the software you already know.

Keep designing and presenting with specialist tools, while Workspace becomes the connected project layer around them.

03

Reduce repeated admin.

Connected outputs stay attached to the right client and project, so you spend less time explaining where to find everything.

How each connection fits

Different tools. One client-facing workflow.

Each app handles the specialist part it is best at, while Workspace keeps the project context around it.

One project hub, without forcing one software stack.

Your design software can stay specialised. Workspace simply makes the outputs easier to manage, share and return to throughout the life of the project.

Connected apps inside Workspace

Your tools.
One project experience.

Connect payments, models, presentations, calendars, inspiration and project files to the same place your studio already uses for the rest of the project.
