Optional Modules Overview
DesignSmart comes fully loaded with everything a typical design firm needs to take a project from start to finish. However, not all design firms operate the same way. For those firms, DesignSmart offers optional modules to help them grow to their fullest potential.

Inventory
DesignSmart offers three different levels of our inventory module so you can get the one you need. Start with the Retail version that includes point-of-sale and client loans, to the full blown multiple warehouse version. One of the versions is sure to meet your needs. Learn more.
Project Cost Monitor
Not all costs, like travel costs and local purchases, are entered into DesignSmart. For this reason we developed the Project Cost Monitor to pull all project related costs from QuickBooks. This allows all designers to know if a project is on budget. Learn more.
Change Orders
Change orders can be difficult to compute and manage. The Change Orders module simplifies the process by performing all the math and clearly showing the cost differences and their impact on the agreed-upon contract amount. Learn more.
Progress Invoicing
If your progress invoicing is based on the actual pricing of the items provided, then this module is a must have. It makes creating progress invoices a breeze and ensures that no costs are overlooked. Learn more.
Phase Tracking
Get control of the hours you spend providing services with our phase time tracking module. Set up your own phases, the tasks associated with each phase and how long each task will take. Learn more.
