“Procurement Powered by Profit Mixer”

Ordering • Tracking • Expediting • Profit Protection

You didn’t start a design firm to geek out over accounting software — but here’s what matters.

Your creativity deserves numbers you can trust.

Most platforms require you to enter the same information twice — once in their system and again in QuickBooks. That means you’re paying your bookkeeper to repeat the work you’ve already done. The Profit Mixer keeps it simple: QuickBooks holds the numbers, and we turn them into clear dashboards you can actually use. You don’t need to fully understand the accounting jargon — just that The Profit Mixer saves you time, money, and mistakes.

How We're Different

You already know the system. This isn’t a new way of working — it’s the same structure you learned in the Bakery, just easier.
Support built in. With GiGi (your AI helper) and optional team setup assistance, you’re never left wondering what button to click.
Exclusive access. Only for Bakery + Key Ingredients members in good standing.
Unlock Procurement Services. Using The Profit Mixer gives you access to our trusted procurement team (yes, the same Debbie you know and love!) who can take vendor communication, tracking, and claims completely off your plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to your most common questions

Why is it only for Bakery + Key Ingredients members?

Because this isn’t generic software. It’s designed to integrate with the exact systems you’ve learned here — and that’s what makes it so effective. Unlike other tools that force you to adapt, The Profit Mixer is already aligned with how you’ve been taught to run your business. It’s not a “one-size-fits-all” app — it’s your business hub, designed to make the Bakery methods faster, easier, and more profitable to implement.

What’s the difference between the Procurement Module and Procurement Services?

The Procurement Module is included in The Profit Mixer — it organizes vendors, POs, and tracking inside your hub.

Procurement Services are optional. That’s when our team steps in to handle the heavy lifting for you: placing orders, managing vendor communication, tracking shipments, and handling claims. Not required, but let’s be honest… why wouldn’t you?

Can I use Procurement Services without The Profit Mixer?

No. Procurement Services are only available through The Profit Mixer. That’s because the software provides the structure, organization, and visibility needed for our team to step in effectively. The module and the service work hand-in-hand — one without the other just doesn’t make sense.

What if I’m not tech savvy?

The interface is intuitive, streamlined, and aligned with how designers already work. Plus, GiGi (your built-in AI helper) is always on hand, and our team can walk you through setup if you’d like extra support. You don’t need to be a tech wizard — you just need to log in.

Is this required for Bakery or Key Ingredient members?

No — but it’s highly recommended. It’s the natural next step if you want to streamline your systems and step fully into your CEO role.

Does The Profit Mixer replace Asana, Studio Designer, or DesignDocs?

Yes — and then some. It replaces the Asana board option you learned in Key Ingredients Module 4 AND eliminates the need for clunky, piecemeal systems like Studio Designer or DesignDocs. One login, one hub, more profit.

Can I do moodboards, floorplans, or 3D renderings in The Profit Mixer?

No — and that’s by design. The Profit Mixer is built to run your business, not replace your design software. Tools like Canva, CAD, or rendering programs will always do visuals better. What The Profit Mixer does is handle the part of your business that eats up time and profit: project management, financial clarity, procurement, proposals, and vendor management.

Okay, Michelle...you’re a designer and a coach - are you a software developer too?

Nope — and that’s the point. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel by building software from scratch.

The Profit Mixer is a white-labeled platform, which means it’s built on proven software architecture, but tailored specifically for the processes and systems you’ve already learned inside the Bakery.

Instead of creating tech for tech’s sake, I made sure you have a tool that actually matches how your design business runs — because it was customized to fit the workflows we teach.

What are the "Tools" mentioned?

YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

AgentX - Connect and deploy your personal AgentX for training and use throughout The Profit Mixer.

Budget to Actual Insights - Establishing an annual budget and consistently checking actual performance against your budget is a best business practice for interior designers.

Cash Availability Analysis - The Cash Available Analysis answers a pressing question on every designer’s mind, “how much cash is mine?”

Monthly Employee Profitability - The Monthly Employee Profitability Report allows the owner to monitor the profit of each employee.

Price Change Analysis - This innovative report allows for key data included in your project management system to be compared to the underlying accounting data maintained in QuickBooks.

Project Profitability - Monitoring project profitability is a cornerstone of interior design businesses. IDnest pulls project sales and costs from QuickBooks and compares that data to thresholds set by project and at the firm level.

Vendor Insights - This unique compilation of information allows the interior designer to assess which vendors are best for their business.

Website Health Analysis - Within The Profit Mixer, your website is constantly monitored to ensure every aspect is running properly from the back end
