Design Studio Manager is used by leading Australian interior design studios
On my commencement with Thomas Hamel & Associates, it quickly became clear that we needed to bring our antiquated database kicking and screaming into the 21st century. With Stefan's help, we migrated to our new and improved system which has proven integral to the efficient running of our Interior Design practice. The software helps us manage our various projects both domestically and internationally and reduces the potential for error. Subsequently, savings are made in time as well as money.
DSM has provided a streamlined platform for our workflow. Adapting to the specific needs of our business, it brought all our systems, schedules, and project tracking in one place - creating great efficiencies and a consistent, polished visual experience for our clients. Stefan has been an incredible support throughout - from a thorough and smooth onboarding process to being flexible, responsive, and always willing to help.
DSM is an integral part of my studio operations. I love the fact that not only does the software allow me to produce professional and visually appealing estimate packages and invoices with ease, DSM also helps me manage my projects. Starting a new business can be overwhelming at times. DSM streamlines my back of house processes and makes things easy so I can focus on doing what I love. The support has also been fantastic, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DSM to any interior designer looking to manage their studio operations more efficiently.
