Logiciel pour architecte d'intérieur : projets & devis

I Who it’s for

A tool designed for freelance interior architects and 1–10 person decor agencies, not for building architecture firms or large design groups.

Your tools fall into two separate worlds that don’t communicate: design (SketchUp, Pedra, HomeByMe, Photoshop, Canva for mood boards) on one side, management (a spreadsheet for furniture quotes, an invoicing tool, an email inbox for suppliers and tradespeople) on the other. Orizen doesn’t replace your 3D rendering software: it takes over everything that isn’t design—client management, quotes, orders, deposits, site work, profitability. Four profiles keep coming up in particular.

Freelance interior architect / decorator

You design, you quote, you order furniture, you coordinate artisans — and on Sunday night, you’re rebuilding a 40-line quote in a spreadsheet because the client changed a sofa reference.

All in Orizen: lead CRM, furniture quotes with margins, supplier orders, deposits. Your dashboard updates automatically.

Interior design agency with 1–10 people

You manage multiple projects at once, each at a different stage (one in mood boards, another in on-site installation), with artisans, suppliers, and clients to keep updated. Information gets scattered across emails and messages.

A project = its decor phases, supplier orders, tradespeople and progress. You see the status of every mission at a glance.

Assistant / agency management

You create quotes and deposit requests by copying dozens of furniture references from one file to another, hoping you don’t mix up prices or margins.

Quotes combine fees, furniture and labour, margins calculate automatically, deposits follow the payment plan. Pennylane export is one click away.

Management & profitability

You know your revenue, but not your real margin. A prestigious renovation project can be a source of pride and a financial drain: no one truly compares the consulting fee to the actual time spent.

Timesheet by project and margin = (fees + furniture margin) − charged time. Finally know which projects make or lose you money.

II The 3 business flows unified

Client base, furniture quotes, orders & site — all in one tool, seamlessly.

The visual breakdown below: the unique challenges for interior architects (overly long quotes, furniture margins, supplier orders, artisan coordination, invisible profitability), what Orizen does for each, a typical use case, and a day in the life of an interior architect using Orizen.

What you experience daily

The specific challenges of interior architects

Quoting projects with dozens of furniture references, tracking margin on resold materials, monitoring supplier orders, coordinating tradespeople and knowing if each project is truly profitable—this is a full management role in itself, on top of the design work.

Overly long quotes & unclear margins

A project combines fees, labour and dozens of furniture and material references. Every sofa change forces a full recalculation, and no one really knows the net margin left on resold furniture once purchase prices are deducted.

Scattered supplier orders

Once the quote is approved, you need to place, confirm and receive orders with multiple suppliers, manage deadlines and partial deliveries. Without centralised tracking, a late chair blocks the final styling and the information gets lost in emails.

Tradespeople coordination

Painters, joiners, upholsterers, electricians, tilers: every project involves multiple trades that need synchronising with furniture deliveries. Without a central hub, site reports and decisions get lost between calls and messages.

Project profitability hidden

Your fees are often fixed (per room, per m² or daily consulting), but the actual time spent isn’t. Without time tracking, you don’t know which project makes you money and which eats into your weekends with no margin.

Orizen for interior architects

Everything you need in a single tool

Each module is designed to adapt to the specifics of interior design and decoration.

Furniture + materials + fees quotes

Create detailed quotes combining design fees, furniture, materials and labour. For each resold item, enter the supplier purchase price and the client price: Orizen calculates your margin, line by line and for the entire project.

Furniture Materials Margin

Project management by decor phases

Structure each mission into trade-specific phases: diagnosis & survey, concept & mood boards, 2D/3D plans, furniture selection, pricing, site monitoring, delivery & styling. You always know where each project stands.

Mood boards Decor phases Site

Supplier order tracking

Once the quote is approved, furniture items become tracked orders: placed, confirmed, in delivery, received. Manage deadlines, partial deliveries and follow-ups. You know what has arrived and what is blocking installation.

Suppliers Lead times Receptions

Fees: flat rate / % / daily & deposits

Invoice how you work: flat fee per room or project, percentage of works amount, per m², or daily consulting. Schedule staggered deposits with a payment plan: Orizen generates each deposit request at the right time. Pennylane export included.

Flat fee / % Deposits Pennylane

Timesheet → consulting profitability

Each team member logs their time per project. Orizen calculates the real margin—fees plus furniture margin, minus charged time—and shows you which projects are profitable and which are overrunning, fee by fee, so you can adjust your pricing.

CRM & client validation portal

Track both private and professional leads with their source (word of mouth, Instagram, decor recommendation). The client portal lets clients approve mood boards and quotes and monitor progress without seeing your purchase prices. Mission contracts are signed online.

Before Orizen: a spreadsheet, no margin visibility

Furniture quotes built in a spreadsheet, supplier purchase prices noted separately, orders tracked by email, deposits requested manually, site coordination via messages. Every month-end, the architect spent an evening piecing together where each project stood—never truly knowing the margin on the furniture.

With Orizen: everything is centralised

Furniture quotes with automatically calculated margin Supplier orders tracked from validation to receipt Staggered deposits issued at the right time, no omissions Pennylane export for the accountant with no re-entry

A typical day with Orizen

From first meeting to delivery, friction-free

Here’s how an interior architect organises her day with Orizen.

08:30 — Morning

Review of prospects and daily orders

In 5 minutes, she sees requests from individuals on Instagram, quotes awaiting client approval and supplier orders to chase. Orizen alerts her to a partial furniture delivery: the sofa has arrived, the armchairs are delayed by a week.

10:00 — New project

Mood boards approved and furniture quotes sent

A private client approves the artistic direction via the client portal. She builds the quote by combining fees, furniture and labour, enters her purchase prices: Orizen displays the margin in real time. The mission contract is sent for e-signature and the first deposit is scheduled.

14:00 — Site visit

Tradespeople coordination and order tracking

On a shop project, she logs the site visit report and coordinates the painter and joiner before installation. She marks delivered materials as received and follows up with the late lighting supplier directly from the project sheet.

17:30 — End of day

Up-to-date profitability dashboard

Without lifting a finger, the dashboard reflects the real-time situation: pending quotes, margin per project, deposits received and outstanding balances, time spent. At a glance, she can see which projects are on budget and which are eating into her margin without her realising.

IV Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we’re asked most often.

What are the specific management needs of an interior architect?

Interior architects combine workflows that design tools ignore. On the client side, they juggle private clients (apartment or house renovations) and professionals (shops, hotels, restaurants, offices), with varied lead sources (word-of-mouth, Instagram, decor recommendations). On the pricing side, a project mixes fees, dozens of furniture and material references, and labour—often with a margin on resold furniture to track. Add staggered deposits, supplier order tracking and artisan coordination. SketchUp, Pedra, HomeByMe, Photoshop or Canva are for design; none manage this business. Orizen fills this exact gap.

How does Orizen handle furniture quotes with a margin?

Each quote can combine multiple line types: design fees, furniture, materials and finishes, labour. For furniture and materials you resell, you enter your supplier purchase price and your client price: Orizen automatically calculates the margin, line by line and for the entire project. You present a clear quote to the client (with or without purchase price details, depending on your policy) while privately tracking your actual profitability. No more lengthy quotes recalculated manually with every reference change.

Can you track supplier orders in Orizen?

Yes. Once the quote is approved, furniture and material items become supplier orders tracked in Orizen: placed, confirmed, in delivery, received. You manage deadlines, partial deliveries (e.g. a table delivered, chairs delayed) and follow-ups. At any time, you know what has been ordered, what has arrived and what is blocking the final installation or styling—without digging through supplier emails.

How does Orizen handle fixed fees, percentage-based fees or daily rates?

Orizen adapts to your billing method: fixed fee per room or project, percentage of work amount, rate per square metre, or consulting billed by the day. You choose the method per project, and the timesheet then tells you whether your fixed fee holds up against actual hours spent. For daily-rate consulting, recorded time feeds directly into invoicing. This way, you manage the profitability of each fee type.

How much does Orizen cost for an interior architect?

Orizen is billed per active user. Whether you are a sole trader or an agency of 1 to 10 people, the pricing remains within the range of industry-specific software, but natively includes CRM, furniture quotes with margins, supplier orders, project management by decor phases, timesheets, e-signatures and the client portal—no need to stack additional modules. It’s a single, transparent subscription instead of a spreadsheet, an invoicing tool and an email inbox combined.

Does Orizen handle site monitoring and artisan coordination?

Yes. Each project centralises its artisans (painter, joiner, upholsterer, electrician, tiler) and tracks their interventions. You can record site visit reports, progress by decor phase, and coordination points between trades and furniture deliveries. The client portal allows individuals or professionals to validate mood boards and quotes, and monitor progress, without accessing your internal workspace or purchase prices.

V Our conviction

An interior architect isn’t managed like an industrial SME.

Your business revolves around three interdependent workflows: client management (both private individuals and professionals with varied lead sources), detailed quotes combining fees and resold furniture with margins, and project execution (supplier orders, deposits, artisan coordination). For years, you’ve had to juggle these in spreadsheets, invoicing tools, and email — losing hours every time a reference changes.

Design tools (SketchUp, Pedra, HomeByMe, Photoshop, Canva) are indispensable for visualising and presenting, but they don’t handle furniture quotes, orders or fees. Industrial ERPs, on the other hand, ignore furniture margins, staggered deposits and artisan coordination. For freelancers or agencies of 1–10 people, none truly fit the bill.

We’ve seen too many interior architects discover that a flagship project was a money pit because no one compared the flat fee to the actual time spent, lose furniture margins by not tracking purchase prices, or stall final styling because an order was buried in a supplier’s email.

So we built Orizen for interior architects and decorators. All three workflows in one tool, up and running in a day, hosted in France. Because a professional who wants to design with peace of mind doesn’t have time for an IT project, but can no longer make do with a spreadsheet that hides their margin.
