Q: How does the workflow of sourcing on DS Collection fit into the existing spec writing software of DesignSpec?
Fiona: Our goal was to make sourcing as seamless as possible. DS Collection is fully integrated directly into the DesignSpec platform. We already streamline several phases of the design process (spec writing, budgeting, procurement) and now we’re adding yet another important step. Once you find a product, just select your desired options (finish lamping, format etc) and click “Add to Project”. All the technical details, attributes, and vendor contacts are pulled over for you!
You can also tag your favorite products to easily find them later You can even email the vendor rep directly from the product page if you need a trade quote for example, just click the “Contact Rep” button to send an inquiry.
Q: What is the vision for the future of DS Collection; how do you foresee it expanding and evolving?
Fiona: We’re hoping to expand the catalog and bring on an even more diverse collection of brands. Not just FFE, but hardware, flooring, doors, architectural lighting, and other products needed for the wide range of projects our users are designing. We’re always open to brand recommendations from our users, so feel free to reach out if you know of a great collection out there.
DesignSpec is software for professional interior designers. It incorporates spec writing, budgeting, reporting, procurement and (now) sourcing on its platform. Stay tuned for more exciting news from DS Collection as we navigate our launch!
