PROCUREMENT
Partner with Experts Who Simplify Your Design Business
Whether you run a boutique studio or manage a larger firm, we believe every designer should have equal access to the tools, prices, and resources needed to succeed. No barriers, no gatekeeping.
We understand the frustrations of the furniture procurement process. Managing dozens of vendor accounts, chasing down quotes, updating spreadsheets, handling claims, and juggling logistics is exhausting and time-consuming. That’s why we’ve created a better system designed with interior designers in mind.
When you partner with us, you gain access to over 200 trade-only vendors and exclusive pricing usually reserved for the largest firms. We handle everything from ordering and tracking to claims management, so you can focus on growing your design business and doing what you love!

How Pricing Works!

-
Reliable Expertise: With years of industry experience, we handle procurement seamlessly from order placement to delivery. Our focus on precision and reliability prevents costly errors and ensures every step runs smoothly, giving you complete confidence in the process.
-

How the Process Works!
-
Initial Consultation: Begin by reaching out to schedule a phone or Zoom call with our team. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your project needs and procurement goals.
-
Specification Template: After the consultation, we’ll provide you with a contract and a detailed Excel specification template to outline the items and details required for your project.
-
Template Review: Once you’ve completed the forms, we’ll schedule another meeting to review them together and ensure all selections and details are accurate and aligned with your vision.
-
Purchase Order Creation: Within 24-48 business hours after our review, we’ll create accurate Purchase Orders (POs) based on the specifications provided. These will be sent to you for final approval.
-
Confirmation & Signing: After reviewing the POs, confirm and sign them via DocuSign, then return them to us. At this point, we’ll collect the total project cost, covering furniture orders and procurement fees. This ensures a seamless and transparent purchasing process.
-
Order Placement: With signed POs and initial payment in hand, we handle the entire ordering process. This includes coordinating with vendors, tracking shipments, and ensuring everything is on schedule.
-
Final Confirmations: Upon successful delivery of all items to the designated location, we’ll provide a final sign-off sheet to complete the process. This step ensures all details are documented and the transaction is finalized with confidence.
