Product markup, hourly retainers, and square-footage fees, chosen per project, invoiced beautifully, and added up into one clear picture of your profit. Serenza runs the money side of your practice so the spreadsheets can finally retire.
Generic invoicing tools assume you bill one way. A working design firm doesn't: product is marked up, some projects run on retainers, others on flat fees. Serenza builds all three in from the start, and you choose how each project bills.
A per-category markup schedule prices every item automatically. Client invoices never leak your cost.
Clients pay for a batch of hours up front. Your logged time counts down against it, and Serenza tells you when it's time to bill again.
Set a price per square foot (room by room if you like) and bill it in stages as the project moves along. Nobody else does this properly.
…and you pick how each project bills. Product markup keeps earning either way.
Clients log in with a simple project code. No accounts, no passwords to reset, and they see a portal wearing your logo: hours, documents, budgets, mood boards, and selections waiting for approval.
Every project adds up its design fee, hourly or by the square foot, plus what you earn on product, minus what you spend. You always know which jobs are actually worth it.
Hours, documents, budgets and mood boards behind one simple access code per project. Nothing is shown that you didn't choose to share.
Send the scope of work, collect a signature, and start with the deposit invoice already on its way.
Clients say yes or no to each piece at the client price, and their answers flow straight into your orders.
When the project grows, your fee grows with it: dated, documented, and billed properly.
Track every vendor order and shipment, see which card paid for what, and invoice clients for product in a click.
Payment schedules, change orders, contractor fees, and cost per square foot, in the same format your builder already uses.
Photograph a receipt and the vendor, date and amount fill themselves in. Time sheets too.
Who owes you, what's overdue, where your hours go, and what each way of billing earns. Plus a QuickBooks-ready export.
Born inside a working design studio, not a software committee.
Serenza started as the internal tool of a residential design practice, built order by order, invoice by invoice, against real projects. The purchasing and ordering side that most platforms treat as an afterthought is the part this one got right first.
Every plan starts with a 14-day full-featured trial. No card, cancel anytime.
No. Each project gets a private access code. Clients enter it once and see only what you've shared for that project. No passwords to reset, no seats to pay for.
Yes, that's the point. Pick hourly or square-footage per project when you create it; product markup applies everywhere. You can switch a project later; Serenza asks you to confirm and keeps a record of the change.
One click downloads everything you've ever entered, and automatic backups run every night the whole time you're a customer. Your data is never held hostage.
No, it works alongside it. Serenza runs the studio side of the money (fees, markup, retainers, client invoices); the QuickBooks export hands your bookkeeper clean, ready-to-import numbers.
Never to clients. Invoices and the portal only show client price. Inside the studio, role permissions hide margins, vendor costs, and card data from designer and assistant roles.
