Ivy Australia is a Business and Project Management Platform for Designers that provides a number of tools to help them run their business.
Ivy Australia empowers designers with cutting-edge technology and solutions to everyday pain points so that they can more easily focus on the creative side of their business. Strong local demand for the Ivy offering prompted its expansion into Australia.
Business management tools include:
- Project management : Ivy’s Project Tracker enables designers to manage the products
and services for a project in one place, making it easier to track the many moving pieces. - Estimates and time tracking : Designers can send customised proposals, tear sheets,
invoices and purchase orders through the Ivy platform. Time and expense entries can
also be managed in one dashboard. - Product sourcing : Ivy’s Product Clipper enables designers to save all of the product
specs and imagery for a project in their product library, eliminating the need for manual
copying, pasting and downloading product information. Ivy’s Room Boards tool enables
designers to conceptualise and compile products and services by room for current and
potential clients. - Vendor purchase management : Ivy’s dashboard also tracks order status across all
projects — from purchased to shipped to delivered — in one place. - On-the-go access : The Ivy app for iPhone, iPad and Android empowers designers to
manage multiple projects in one place and on the go with features including task
management, real-time expense and time tracking, talk-to-text note taking and more.
Using augmented reality (AR), the app also captures and stores, with its built-in room
measurement tool, accurate project dimensions for designers to reference when
selecting products for a room. - Community connections : Ivy’s powerful community helps designers exchange industry
ideas, ask questions and empower fellow designers.
Ivy, which launched in the U.S. in 2016, was acquired by Houzz in March 2018 to provide home professionals with software that helps them run their businesses more efficiently, effectively and profitably.
Since then, Ivy has become the most used business management software by design firms in the U.S., growing to 5,500 member firms. Houzz provides more than 60,000 active home professionals in Australia with the tools they need to showcase their work, collaborate with clients, connect with potential new clients and, with Ivy Australia, manage their business.
