Run your whole studio,
first lead to final install.
DesignCore360 is the business platform built for how interior designers actually work. It finds your next client, turns a measured space into a living specification, places and chases every order, collects every deposit, and keeps your client calm the whole way through. One login replaces the mood-board app, the spec spreadsheet, the PO tracker and the invoicing tool you're paying for today.
Flat pricing per studio, never per seat. Free migration from DesignFiles, Houzz Pro and Studio Designer.
Your studio, live
● Vendors, Square & calendar connectedSix things your current software can't do.
Most design platforms are good at one part of the job: the pretty front end, the back-office books, or the product schedule. Studios stitch two or three together with QuickBooks. DesignCore360 runs the whole job, and adds six capabilities we couldn't find in any competing platform.
A lead engine that hunts
An AI agent finds builders, realtors, architects and homeowners in your market, verifies the right contact, drafts personal outreach for your approval, and tracks every open and reply. Stop waiting on referrals and paying a marketplace for shared leads.
Outbound prospectingProjects start measured
Book a LiDAR scan from inside the project. The as-built plan, elevations and 3D model land with every room, wall length and window size already filled in. Drapery drops and rug sizes come from real dimensions.
Scan to specOrders that chase themselves
Forward vendor acknowledgments, ship notices and backorder emails to your project inbox. DesignCore360 reads them, updates the right line item, flags anything late, and tells the client what changed in plain English.
AI order follow-upSquare, built in
Retainers, product deposits, progress invoices and final balances run through Square, with card, ACH and Tap to Pay at the install. Deposits post against the exact items they paid for, so you never fund a client's sofa yourself.
Square-native paymentsMeetings that write the notes
Record the client walkthrough or presentation. DesignCore360 turns it into decisions, selections and follow-up tasks on the project, so "she wanted the darker walnut" is captured once and never argued about again.
Meeting memoryReceiving through install day
Track every piece from the vendor dock to the warehouse to the client's living room. Log damage with photos, file claims, and build the install-day pull list from what has actually arrived.
Receiving & logisticsOne record, first call to final reveal.
Every stage hands its work to the next. The proposal becomes the budget, the budget becomes the specification, approvals become purchase orders, and orders become the install schedule. Nothing gets retyped.

Clip it once. Price it, approve it, order it, track it.
The browser clipper pulls the image, dimensions, finish, vendor and trade price from any product page. DesignCore360 applies your markup rules, sets the client price, files it by room, and keeps it current from first idea to installed piece.
- Trade, net and retail pricing with markup rules by vendor or category
- Show or hide pricing per client, room or item
- Room budgets that update the moment an item is approved
- Spec books and presentations generated from the schedule

The vendor emails. You don't have to read it.
Order tracking is where studios lose the most hours and the most margin. DesignCore360 watches the paper trail and only interrupts you when a decision is needed.
- Purchase orders generated from approved items, sent from the platform
- Acknowledgments, ship notices and backorders matched to the right PO line
- Late or changed items flagged before the client asks
- Freight, receiving and damage claims on the same line as the order
