CASE STUDY

How Studio Designer
Streamlines Catherine
Schager Design’s
Operations

THE CHALLENGE

To manage and track purchase dates, costs, and mark-up for Catherine Schager Design, Catherine was using Quickbooks. However, the client item purchasing process was simply too error-prone and time-consuming.

THE SOLUTION

Studio Designer transformed Catherine’s purchase management process by streamlining monitoring and her overall operations. She now saves time and energy by keeping all of a client’s items in one place and knowing— at a glance—the approval, order, or invoice status. She can easily conduct time billing for clients and has instant access to important financial information. Catherine also values just how feature-rich Studio Designer is for her business, especially the Client Portal that offers transparency and professionalism to her clients.

BUSINESS IMPACT

Quick and Easy Client Payments
The Client Portal allows her clients to make payments on
invoices using credit cards, PayPal, or ACH.

Improved Overall Project Management
She values the platform’s features that are tailored to the
needs of a design firm from proposal to installation.

A Professional and Transparent Business
For both project management and accounting, she values
the efficiency and clarity the platform delivers.

FAVORITE FEATURES

  • Client Portal Payments
  • Time Billing
  • Support and Training

"The other way that Studio has streamlined my business is credit card invoice payments. Easy peasy. I want to work with my clients to create a beautiful home, not spend time chasing payments."
