DECORATIVE WORKSHEETS

Designed for unmatched flexibility, our DSM worksheets empower you to effortlessly manage even the most intricate orders.


Our worksheets streamline your workflow by automatically calculating commissions, foreign exchange rates, taxes, and deposits. Enjoy a comprehensive view tailored to your company and project-specific settings.


Creating worksheets is flexible and intuitive. Choose from directly importing via a browser extension, utilising templates or saved library items, or starting from scratch with automatic application of project defaults.

ONE CLICK REPORTS

DSM's unified reporting functionality allows you to generate beautiful proposals, schedules, budgets, purchase orders and invoices from worksheets with the click of a button.


Worksheets provide a single source of truth for all decorative items meaning you never have to waste time entering the same information twice again.

Testimonials

Design Studio Manager is suitable for studios of any size, from large studios with multiple teams to sole principal practices.

Georgette Mackay | General Manager
Thomas Hamel & Associates

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.

As my business grows and I no longer have the ability to be across every single item for each project, I've come to appreciate DSM for the softwares ability to not only save me time with the project admin but more importantly to give me comfort that the projects financials stack up. Having local support that I can ask questions to at any time has been invaluable and I can't recommend DSM enough!

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.
