A design studio is paid for ideas, but often loses money in the procurement and changes that follow them.
Projects and presentations
- Each project with the client's style preferences, budget, design fee and target handover.
- Presentations by type: mood board, layout, 3D render, material board or lighting plan, each waiting for the client's decision.
- Approval from the owner or senior designer before anything moves forward.
Specifications and procurement
Each specified item has its supplier code, finish, dimensions, cost and client price after the markup, so the procurement margin of each project is visible. Approved items waiting to be ordered and deliveries due appear on the home page, and a specification schedule can be printed.
Changes and site visits
A change order records the fee and time change and waits for approval. Site visits record progress and snags.
Your data stays with you
Bawabetna's program runs on the studio's own computers with the records encrypted with you, separate permissions for the owner, designers, procurement and the accountant, and it works without internet. You can import your data from your previous software and try the program free for the first month before subscribing.
Questions?
Which computers does it run on?
The programs run on Windows computers. With several computers, one keeps the office's encrypted vault and the others connect to it over your local network.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Booking, records, invoicing and printing keep working offline. Whatever needs to be sent is sent when the connection returns.
Where are my records kept?
In an encrypted vault on your own computer. Bawabetna does not host your full working records.
Who decides what is shared about a client?
The client. Clients manage their own consent from their own app; a professional never decides on their behalf.
Can I move my data from my current software?
Yes. Client lists and records can be imported from Excel or CSV files, with a preview before importing and the option to undo.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, the first month of every program is free, with all features and no card. Your data is saved on your device during the month; after 30 days without a subscription the program becomes read-only, and your data stays and you carry on as soon as you subscribe.
Which languages does it support?
Every program and this website work in 16 languages: Arabic, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (simplified and traditional). You can switch at any time.
