INTERIOR DESIGN CRM

Turn interior design enquiries into organised client relationships.

Keep prospective clients, project briefs, invitations, applications and follow-ups visible from the first enquiry. When a lead becomes a client, the important context can continue into their project workspace instead of disappearing into an inbox.

For interior designers and studios that want a practical lead management process without running a separate sales system beside their project software.

    Qualify the opportunity

    Assess fit, communicate with the client and keep the next action visible.

  3. 03

    Propose and agree

Better-fit projects

QUESTIONS

About crm & leads in Workspace.

What is an interior design CRM?

An interior design CRM organises prospective clients, enquiries, project details, communication and the steps that turn a lead into an active project.

Can clients submit project briefs?

Yes. Clients can submit structured briefs and invite designers, giving the studio useful context before applying or accepting work.

Does a hired project create a workspace?

Yes. Once the engagement is confirmed, the project information can continue into guided workspace setup.

Can the studio message a prospective client?

The connected portal messaging flow keeps pre-hire communication available before the client makes a decision.
