COM tracking is built into the platform natively — it's not a workaround or an afterthought. Every Customer's Own Material gets a full specification card: material type, supplier, quantity, dye lot, grade, lead time, trade price, and vendor details.

The real power is what happens next. When you update a COM spec, that change flows automatically to your budget, proposal, purchase order, and invoice. No copying between spreadsheets. No 45-minute manual sync across documents. Change the fabric once , and every downstream document reflects it instantly.

Your COM specs and Products can be duplicated to new Concept Boards and Projects in one click. What took minutes of manual re-entry now takes seconds.

Net-Atelier is purpose-built for bespoke complexity — the kind of work where every piece is custom, every fabric is specified, and the margin for error is zero. The platform handles projects with thousands of individual specifications , graded products across multiple rooms, and complex vendor coordination.

That said, our current focus is boutique studios doing high-end residential and select hospitality work. If your firm handles fully custom commercial interiors with the same level of specification detail as bespoke residential — COM fabrics, graded products, one-off artisan pieces — the workflow fits naturally.

For large-scale FF&E procurement with enterprise requirements like Single Sign-On (SSO) and multi-team permissions, those capabilities are on our roadmap. Efficiency is our main focus and we are working with top designers to achieve it. We'd welcome a conversation about your specific process to see where we align today.

Yes. Your existing work becomes your starting point — not something you have to recreate from scratch .

You can import PowerPoint decks and Canva boards directly into concept boards. Existing product specifications, vendor contacts, and project data can be brought in through our import tools. Our onboarding team audits your current tools and handles migration while we set up your first project with you.

Most studios start by importing an active project, validating specs and budget structure, and then generating a first client-ready proposal the same day.

This is exactly the kind of work Net-Atelier was designed for. Generic design tools treat every product like a standard item from a vendor website with a SKU and a standard lead time. That doesn't work when you're specifying a hand-blown glass chandelier from a single artisan in Murano, or coordinating a custom fabricator who works on 12-week timelines with progress deposits.

Every item in Net-Atelier — whether it's a one-off piece, a graded product, or a COM fabric — gets a full specification : supplier details, finish, lead time, trade price, markup, and deposit schedule. Those specs connect directly to your budget, proposals, and purchase orders. Update it once and it flows everywhere.

We built this for studios where "custom" isn't a marketing word — it's every line item .

We understand that our users work with high-net-worth clients who expect absolute discretion . Client data protection is a core operational priority, not a compliance checkbox.

The platform enforces strict access controls and maintains comprehensive audit trails with 90-day log retention. All data is backed up following the 3-2-1 rule — three copies, two media types, one offsite — with automated daily backups and monthly restore testing.

We maintain compliance with PIPEDA and CASL (Canada), CPRA (California), and the Australian Privacy Act — covering the jurisdictions where most of our users and their clients operate. Vendor data processing agreements, consent logging, and incident response workflows with 24–72 hour notification SLAs are all in place.

If you need specifics for your firm's compliance requirements, our team can walk you through the details.

Net-Atelier currently offers QuickBooks export — you can push invoices, purchase orders, and financial data directly into QuickBooks without manual re-entry.

Full bi-directional QuickBooks integration is on our near-term roadmap, meaning changes in either system will stay in sync automatically. Xero support is also planned.

The immediate value: your invoices and POs are generated from the same specifications that drive your budgets and proposals. By the time financial data reaches your accounting system, it's already been validated through the entire project workflow — no reconciliation headaches , no mismatched line items.

The opposite. Net-Atelier was designed by designers who think visually first.

You start with concept boards — drag-and-drop, import from PowerPoint or Canva, build visually the way you already work. The difference is that when you place a product on a concept board, its specification, pricing, and vendor details travel with it . There's no context switch from "creative mode" to "admin mode."

What actually slows down your creative process today is the 15+ hours per week spent on admin : copying specs between spreadsheets, manually building proposals in Word, reconciling budgets that don't match purchase orders. Net-Atelier cuts that to roughly 3 hours . That's 12 hours back — for design work, client meetings, or simply not working at 11pm on a Saturday updating a proposal.

A single pricing error on a custom sofa can wipe out the margin on an entire room. The platform doesn't just protect your time — it protects your margins .
