Interior Designers face unique challenges: Product procurement markup is a major revenue stream but tracking is messy. Projects span months with multiple phases (concept, design, procurement, install). Client indecision causes timeline delays that aren't billed. Managing trade accounts and vendor relationships. On top of all that, Dubsado charges $40/month ($480/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median interior designer earns $55,000/year. Software at $480/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Design software (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Canva) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
