Great help chat. I also love that it's always being improved. > > **Cons**: Invoicing features still in Beta mode and a bit clunky. Doesn't link to Free Agent, so less benefit for our studio. > > My team and I have loved using Programa but don't really know how the timeline view is best used. Can't help but feel we are not maximising the full benefits of the platform because we haven't had a tutorial on the system/process. ----- ### "PROGRAMA HAS CHANGED THE GAME\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kirstyn** | *23 October 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Programa has instantly streamlined our inhouse systems and ease of base - line delivery to clients and trade teams. It is so easy to use, and the customer support is excellent. > > **Cons**: We are looking forward to a more developed CRM functionality and customisation features of the client dashboard. > > It has been so stress free from start to finish. The customer support is second to none, the systems streamlined, clean and user friendly, and we LOVE the emails showcasing other studios, new product integration, and Programa updates. The client / trade onboarding videos are also incredibly useful. ----- ### "Makes Procurement and Tracking Effortless" — 5.0/5 > **Benjo** | *23 October 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Programa makes managing projects effortless. The item-selection process is clear and organized, and generating purchase orders directly from the platform is seamless. It minimizes errors and prevents costly vendor mistakes while keeping everything in one place. > > **Cons**: It doesn’t handle client onboarding, which forces me to use multiple platforms. I still need other software for contracts, e-signatures, questionnaires, and onboarding forms before importing the project into Programa. Integrating those features would make it a true all-in-one solution. > > It keeps everything organized, streamlines communication with vendors, and reduces errors during purchasing. While it lacks client-onboarding tools like contracts and forms, its project management and purchasing workflow are efficient and reliable, making it an essential part of my daily operations. ----- ### "Programa - Professional Scheduling at last\!" — 5.0/5 > **Angelique** | *23 October 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Programa has improved my workflow and increased the ability to manage projects on site with changes and ease of information. Construction teams consistently give positive feedback about interacting with our schedules. > > **Cons**: Not all attachments come across well when creating a new item via URL Version control and tracking of changes could be improved. > > Programa has improved or ability to produce thorough schedules with consistent presentation standards and track client changes. ----- ### "Programma is a no brainer" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *23 October 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Programma streamlines ALL of my internal processes and winds up saving me hours on project management. It is also incredibly easy to get started and begin your own templates and work flow. > > **Cons**: As helpful as the schedules are, the fields need to be more customizable. I need to be able to turn off all of the fields that are not being used. Id also like to create my own fields. > > Programma is a no brainer for my small stuido. I could never go without it at this point, it streamlines our design process from lead call to installation and every update makes it even more valuable. The customer service is totally on point too\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/346282/programa?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/346282/programa) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
