Example. This case study is an illustration of how a firm like this could work in MSMEPulse. It isn't a real customer, and it makes no claims about results.

Illustration: an MSMEPulse workspace with projects from ready-made templates for architecture and interiors studios.

The firm

Two principal architects and eight designers work on homes, offices and small commercial buildings, from concept to handover.

What made the work hard

  • Stage fees were invoiced late, or not at all.
  • Approvals and client decisions weren't recorded clearly.
  • Site supervision took far more time than planned.

How work moves through MSMEPulse, from the first enquiry to payment.

How they set up MSMEPulse

  • Chose Architecture & Interiors at signup, with templates for building design and approvals, residential interiors and office fit-outs.
  • Put each stage's share of the fee on the project milestones.
  • Recorded client approvals and authority documents on the checklist.

The templates for Architecture & Interiors in MSMEPulse: Residential interior, Building design and approvals, Office fit-out.

A typical month

Each project shows its current stage and what's needed from the client. When a concept is approved in writing, the stage is marked complete and invoiced. Authority queries are tracked with their dates. Site visits are logged as time, so supervision effort is visible against the budget.

What changes

  • Each stage is invoiced when it's reached.
  • Approvals are on record.
  • Supervision time is tracked, not guessed.
