New business & workflow software for interior designers

By Amy Collins-Walker •

FacebookPinEmailTweet

A business and project management platform for interior designers, Ivy has launched in Australia after great success with designers in the US. A subsidiary of the home renovation and design platform Houzz, Ivy is designed to run design businesses more efficiently and profitably by providing tools to source products, create estimates, send invoices, manager vendor purchases and much more on desktop versions and an app for iPhone, iPad and Android.

“We are delighted to bring Ivy to Australian designers and provide them with a centralised platform on which to run an organised and efficient business. We’ve fully localised the platform for Australia, and will provide members with local service representatives. Ivy was built specifically to serve designers’ unique business needs and we look forward to building a strong Ivy community in this design-focused market,” says Ivy co-founder Alex Schinasi.

Project management
The platform offers a number of fabulous project management features including the ‘Project Tracker’ that allows designers to manage the products and services for a project in one place making it easier to track the all-important details.

The software allows you to manage all of your project’s rooms in one place

Proposals and time tracking
The platform also manages proposals and time tracking. Designers can send customised proposals, tear sheets, invoices and purchase orders through the Ivy platform and time and expense entries can also be managed in one dashboard.

You can access your project info on desktop and through the Ivy app

Product sourcing
Ivy’s ‘Product Clipper’ enables designers to save all of the product specs and imagery for a project in their product library, eliminating the need for manual copying, pasting and downloading product information. Ivy’s ‘Room Boards’ tool enables designers to conceptualise and compile products and services by room for current and potential clients.

The software features a handy ‘Product Clipper’

Vendor purchase management
Ivy’s dashboard also tracks order status across all projects, from purchased to shipped to delivered, in one place.

On-the-go access
The Ivy app for iPhone, iPad and Android allows designers to manage multiple projects in one place and on the go with features including task management, real-time expense and time tracking, and talk-to-text note taking. Using augmented reality (AR), the app also captures and stores, with its built-in room measurement tool, accurate project dimensions for designers to reference when selecting products for a room.

Ivy
The platform gives you a broad overview of your projects

Community connections
Ivy’s community of users helps designers exchange industry ideas and ask questions.

At the weekend, Seb asked if he could put a box of At the weekend, Seb asked if he could put a box of drawings out the front of the house to sell and raise money for the homeless at Christmas.

Of course I planned to sneak my own coins into the box when he wasn't looking, but then a lovely passer by left this note and $5 in an envelope "To the artist" and made his day 🥰

I want my kids to be kind and empathetic above all else ❤️ You bet I'm proud of him for coming up with this idea himself.

And as grownups, let's be the people who leave a note and encourage this sort of thing 🙏🏻

This divine coloured concrete Juno bath from @nood_co (available in 21 colours) or this fluted number (available in 1500 or 1700mm length) from @highgrovebathrooms?

Baths are no longer the basic that you choose all your statement tiles and tapware around. Now the tub can BE the statement!
