Interior design software for Sri Lankan firms
The D&B Operating System is interior design and project software for Sri Lankan interior designers, fit-out contractors and design-and-build firms. One system tracks enquiries, site visits, designs, quotations, agreements, projects, site updates, team roles and payments. BRANDSWOT Consultancy builds it in India, on the same time zone as Sri Lanka, and deploys it white-label on your firm's domain.

How interior firms in Sri Lanka work
Most interior and fit-out work is concentrated in Colombo and its suburbs: apartments and houses, offices, hotels, restaurants and retail. Tourism also drives hotel and villa interiors along the coast. Firms are often small, with the founder designing, quoting and visiting sites, and specialist carpentry and trades brought in as subcontractors.
Clients usually enquire by phone, WhatsApp, Viber or Facebook, and expect frequent progress photos. Material costs can move quickly, so firms need to revise quotes and keep track of which version the client accepted.
The problems it addresses
- Leads arriving on several messaging apps with no single list.
- Quotes revised often as material prices change, with no clear approved version.
- Design and finish approvals scattered across chats.
- Site progress shared only when the client asks.
- Stage payments collected late.

Why it runs in a browser
Site teams in Sri Lanka mostly work from mobile phones. The D&B Operating System works in any phone or laptop browser, so supervisors don't install an app or need a laptop on site. Sign-in uses two-step verification and locks out after failed attempts, and your firm keeps full admin control of users, roles, settings and data.
Onboarding, plans and early access
Sri Lanka and India share the same clock time, so demos, setup and training calls fit easily into your working day. BRANDSWOT Consultancy has no Sri Lankan office; onboarding is remote, with a written quote after the demo. Studio is meant for teams of up to 10, Practice for 10 to 30 and Enterprise for larger firms. Pricing is on request, and the product is in early access.
Invoicing was designed around Indian GST. For Sri Lankan VAT, LKR, Sinhala or Tamil documents, tell us your requirement and we'll confirm what's supported.

Questions people ask
What is the best interior design software in Sri Lanka?
There's no single best tool for every firm. Compare software on lead tracking, quote revisions, client approvals, site updates, stage billing, roles and branding, and check tax, currency and language needs. The D&B Operating System is one option for design-and-build workflows. Try it with a demo on a real Colombo job.
Is there interior design quotation software for Sri Lankan firms?
The Quotations module builds quotes from your own rate cards, keeps each version and records which one the client approved. When material prices change, you issue a new version rather than editing an old spreadsheet, and the approved quote flows into the agreement and invoices.
Is there a site progress app for Sri Lankan fit-out teams?
The Site updates module works in any phone browser. Supervisors see today's tasks, post photo updates in two taps, request materials, log attendance and flag issues. The office and the owner see progress straight away, with nothing to install. That helps when clients are abroad or busy and want regular photos.
Can a small design and build firm in Colombo use it?
Yes. The Studio plan is designed for firms of up to 10 people and covers CRM, quotations, invoices, projects, tasks, site updates and owner, designer and site roles. Pricing is on request after a demo, based on your team size and modules. Each role sees only what it needs.
Does it include a client portal?
Your clients can approve a chosen quote version and comment on each design round in one place, branded as your firm. For any further client-portal feature, tell us your requirement and we'll confirm what's supported. Keeping approvals on the project record helps when material prices move and a client questions which version of the quote they accepted.
