Designware Pro is a web based software as a service (SaaS) that was specifically built for the interior decor, window covering and construction trade industries. More specifically, it provides all the unique selling, quoting and business management tools for those who manage decor projects, home remodeling services, repair services, sell window blinds, draperies, shades, shutters or any other similar items. It's everything you'll need to run your business.

Some programs claim to be designed for the interior decor or window coverings industry, but once you dig deeper you find they are not much more than a pretty CRM with a "made for the decor or blinds industry" title on top. The fact is, there are only a few purpose-built programs out there that do anything remotely close to what Designware Pro Software does.

And if you sell window coverings and are looking for a program that will do ALL of your quoting, for ALL brands and ANY product type then the choice is clear. It's Designware Pro.

An important question many overlook when making software decisions. Joe Designware Pro, Designware Pro Software's Founder and President, has been a part of the home decor and window coverings industry for 35+ years. Having created and established multiple local retail operations during his first 13 years in the industry, he is also responsible for some of the top Internet based window covering, house plans and home decor sites such as BlindsWholesale.com, HomeDecorating.com, AmazingPlans.com and Blinds.com. With over two decades experience creating exceptionally detail orientated software and possessing an intimate knowledge of the retail side of the business, it would be difficult to find anyone more qualified to produce such a service.

One of the key components of Designware Pro software is our exclusive Windowware window coverings module. The Windowware quoting system was created by Joe Designware Pro in 2006 and has been in use by many window coverings professionals ever since. In early 2018 we decided to couple the Windowware module with our newly developed Project Management system. Designware Pro knew that most interior designers sell window coverings and the other project maangement systems out there lacked that functionality.

The Windowware module is part of our cloud-based project manager and it's powered by an extremely robust Products Configurator. What is a Products Configurator you may ask? Well, it's the heart of the Windowware system. If you are wanting to generate custom window covering quotes, then it's an absolute necessity. It does all the calculations on the back end so you can be sure that ALL product and option prices are calculated correctly. Calculating an accurate estimate demands price structures that may include: grid-based pricing, single line pricing, width based, height based, flat list, flat net, percent based, square inch based, square foot based, add for shutter frames, divide overall sizes by two or three, sub option grids, by yardage, number of panel and on and on.

Building a system to accomodate just one manufacturer or pricing structure would have been simple. But we wanted to create an unrestricted system that allows dealers to build their businesses the way THEY want. And that meant having to address all the complexities of various pricing options.

If you've been looking at ANY other software solution, be sure to specifically ask if their program can do what ours can above. It's a very important question. Most other programs don't. And if it can't, then it's back to hand quoting from price grids with a calculator.

We offer an unlimited project management system that is totally free, forever. It includes our Windowware Module with a select line of window coverings too. We also offer custom upgrades for products and features. See specific plans here: View Plans.

Let's be honest, today's consumer has become more sophisticated than ever. And, competition has grown tougher than ever. Utilizing the power of our Project Management software to instantly produce estimates and proposals can only instill greater confidence of your capabilities to your prospective clients. Imagine the contrast as they watch your competitor struggle with pad, pencil and price books.

Designware Pro is a cloud-based software program, also known as SaaS (Software as a Service). While functioning like an app, Designware Pro possesses the extremely important ability to accept new product and feature updates immediately.
