Interior design apps for US firms working across states, markets and time zones.

Codeeo provides interior design app development USA firms can run a multi-city business on: e-design services, consultation booking, client boards, trade purchasing, freight, installs and closeout, plus the admin and reporting a growing company needs. Design in the United States is regulated, taxed and paid for differently from state to state. A firm with studios in two states, or an online service selling to clients nationwide, needs an app that handles those differences without forcing staff into workarounds.

Codeeo's team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US. We have no US office and work with American clients remotely, running discovery, design reviews and demos by video call.

Built for
Multi-studio design firms, online e-design services, design franchise networks, furniture retailers offering design, and builders operating in several states.
Typical timeline
We define release one and the rollout order by market during discovery, then write down the delivery plan for your approval before design begins.
What you own
Source code, store listings, cloud accounts, the admin platform, product catalog, client records and analytics, all in accounts your company controls.

Platform capabilities

What a national interior design platform needs to handle.

Interior design in the US is not one market. Professional regulation is a patchwork: a few jurisdictions, including Louisiana, Nevada and the District of Columbia, require a license to practice at least some kinds of interior design, many states such as Texas protect only a title, and California runs a voluntary certification. Sales tax on furnishings varies by state and locality, trade purchases depend on resale certificates, and consumer privacy rules now differ across a growing list of states. Sourcing is national too, with trade markets in High Point, Las Vegas and Dallas feeding studios everywhere. A platform built for this country needs configuration by state, not hard-coded assumptions. The capabilities below are the ones national clients most often ask us to plan; the mix and order change with your business model.

Explain your project
  • Multi-market configuration

    Each state or studio gets its own settings: designer titles and credentials allowed there, tax rules handled through your tax provider, service areas, consultation types and legal text. New markets are added in the admin rather than in code.

    Opening a new city is a settings task, not a development project.

  • E-design service flow

    Clients anywhere in the country buy a design package, upload room photos and measurements, complete a style quiz and receive concept boards, floor plans and a shoppable product list, with revision rounds tracked in the app. Designers work from a queue that balances style match and workload.

    A design service that scales beyond your local client base.

  • Room capture and floor plans

    Room scanning with phone LiDAR on supported devices, plus a guided manual option for everyone else, producing dimensioned plans that designers can mark up and clients can furnish virtually.

    Accurate rooms without sending anyone to measure.

  • Credential and title management

    Designer profiles record NCIDQ status, state registrations, certifications and expiry dates. The app decides which title to show in each state and alerts your admin before a credential lapses.

    Every public profile stays accurate wherever it appears.

  • Trade purchasing and freight

    Purchase orders, vendor acknowledgments, resale certificate records per vendor, freight tracking and receiving at regional warehouses or third-party receivers, with risks flagged by ship date. Purchasing staff see every open order by market on one screen.

    Orders move on schedule across every market you serve.

  • Checkout and payments

    Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and ACH bank payments through a PCI DSS compliant processor, with deposits, progress billing and product payments separated, and tax calculated by a dedicated tax service rather than custom code.

    Clients pay easily and card data never touches your servers.

  • Franchise and studio reporting

    Dashboards by studio, region, designer and service line, with revenue, pipeline, project status and client satisfaction. Franchise owners see their own location; head office sees the network. Exports feed your finance tools without manual copying.

    Leadership compares markets on the same numbers.

  • Privacy controls by state

    Consent capture, request handling for access, correction and deletion, and data retention rules configured so you can honor state laws such as California's CCPA and CPRA and the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act where they apply.

    Privacy requests are handled consistently in every state.

  • Accessible client experience

    Screens designed against WCAG guidelines, with support for screen readers, dynamic text sizes and sufficient contrast, which reduces ADA risk and makes the app easier for older homeowners and anyone using assistive technology.

    More clients can complete their project in the app.

  • Install network coordination

    For firms that sell nationally but rely on local installers, receivers and white glove delivery partners, the app assigns each install to a vetted partner in the client's area, shares the floor plan and item list, and collects completion photos and client sign-off.

    Installs in distant markets meet the same standard as at home.

Who this is for

Four national models we design these platforms around.

The firms that need a nationwide interior design platform tend to share one problem: what worked with one studio and a few spreadsheets breaks when the business spans several states. Licensing language, tax handling, vendor terms and privacy obligations all start to diverge. We plan the platform so those differences live in configuration, and so a new studio or franchisee can be live quickly without new code. Credentials are a good example: NCIDQ certification, administered by CIDQ, is recognized across many states, but what a designer may call themselves still depends on where the client lives.

01

Online e-design services

Companies selling design packages to clients across the country need a polished buying experience, room capture, a designer workspace, revision management and a shoppable product list with affiliate or trade pricing. The volume of projects means automation matters: assigning designers by style and workload, reminding clients who stall and closing projects that are finished. We build these as scalable products rather than studio tools. Clients who stall get gentle prompts, and finished projects close themselves once the client confirms delivery.

Built for volume, with automation in every step.

02

Multi-state design firms

Firms with studios in several cities need shared standards and a shared vendor library, while letting each studio keep local suppliers, tax setup and credentials. The app gives head office visibility across all projects, and gives studio teams the field tools they need for measuring, receiving and installs. Rollout usually starts with one studio as a pilot before the others follow. Studio leaders keep their own dashboards, while head office compares performance across every location on the same measures.

Pilot in one studio, then roll out market by market.

03

Design franchise networks

Franchisors want consistent brand, process and reporting, while franchisees run their own territories. We build a platform with territory rules, franchisee onboarding, shared catalogs, local pricing controls and network reporting, plus a client app carrying the national brand with each franchisee's local details. Onboarding a new franchisee becomes a checklist inside the platform, from credentials and territory setup to staff accounts and training videos.

Head office sets the standard; territories run day to day.

04

Furniture retailers and builders adding design services

Retailers offering in-store and online design, and national builders running design centers in several states, need design workflows tied to their own catalog and order systems. The app connects appointments, room plans and selections to the products you already sell, so design drives orders instead of sitting beside them. Designers see live stock and lead times, so they stop proposing pieces the warehouse cannot deliver in time.

Design tied directly to your product catalog.

Six phases from first conversation to a nationwide rollout.

  1. 01Discovery across marketsWe review how each studio, franchise or channel works today, including state credentials, tax handling, vendors and tools, and agree which market launches first and what release one must include there.
  2. 02Configuration modelEverything that varies by state or studio, from titles and legal text to tax settings and service areas, is designed as configuration, so later markets need no code changes.
  3. 03Design and prototypingClient, designer, studio and head office experiences are prototyped and tested with real users, with accessibility checked from the first screens.
  4. 04Build and integrateApps, admin and integrations with commerce, tax, payments, CRM and accounting are built in short sprints, each ending with an installable build your team reviews.
  5. 05Pilot marketOne studio or territory goes live first. We measure adoption, fix friction and confirm the configuration works before rolling into further markets, and we write up what the pilot taught us.
  6. 06Rollout and growthFurther markets launch on a schedule you control, with training material recorded once and reused. New features follow usage data and feedback from studios and clients.

Technology

What we build this with.

Native Swift and Kotlin, or React Native and Flutter for a shared codebase, with a Next.js admin and APIs on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud in your account. Payments, tax and email use established providers through their official APIs, never home-built replacements. Image delivery runs through a CDN so boards load quickly on any connection.

Questions US design companies ask before building.

Through configuration per state, set up by your team in the admin.

Designer titles, credential displays, legal text, privacy notices, tax settings and service areas are all stored per state or studio. When you enter a new market, your admin sets those values and the app follows them. We help you identify what varies during discovery, but your counsel and tax advisers confirm the actual rules for each state you operate in. A state-by-state checklist sits in the admin so nothing is missed when a studio opens.
