Scale Your Design Firm with Custom AI Automation
Stop losing high-net-worth clients to missed calls and manual sourcing. We integrate AI into Studio Designer and Ivy to automate your workflow from mood board to installation.
Interior design firms often lose 15-20 hours per week on non-billable administrative tasks, specifically vendor follow-ups and product availability checks. When a $50,000 residential project hinges on a specific marble slab or a lead time for a custom sofa, manual tracking becomes a bottleneck that leads to project delays and client dissatisfaction. Read Laboratories bridges the gap between creative vision and operational efficiency.
By automating the consultation booking process and syncing product data across platforms like Houzz Pro and DesignFiles, we ensure your firm captures every high-value lead while maintaining the white-glove service your clients expect. In an industry where a single missed consultation can cost $5,000 in immediate revenue, AI-driven responsiveness isn't a luxury—it's a requirement for scaling in the modern luxury market.
Problems We Solve
Fragmented Vendor Communication
Automate the back-and-forth with furniture manufacturers and fabricators using AI agents that track order status and lead times across multiple vendor portals.
The 'After-Hours' Lead Loss
High-net-worth clients often browse portfolios late at night; our AI assistants qualify leads and book consultations directly into your calendar 24/7.
Manual Product Sourcing Data
Automatically extract specifications from vendor PDFs and websites into Studio Designer or Ivy, eliminating hours of manual data entry and potential errors.
Inconsistent Project Updates
Keep clients informed with automated, personalized SMS or email updates regarding shipping delays, installation timelines, and project milestones.
