“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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to your most common questions

What makes The Profit Mixer different from other software platforms??

Because The Profit Mixer was never designed to be generic software. It was built specifically for the way interior design firms actually operate, including the real workflows behind procurement, purchasing, client communication, approvals, tracking, and day to day project management.

Unlike platforms that simply give you tools and expect you to build the systems yourself, The Profit Mixer includes built in workflows, operational structure, and collaborative processes designed to help your entire team stay aligned and moving efficiently.

Originally developed within the Bakehouse ecosystem, The Profit Mixer is now available to the broader design industry so more firms can benefit from the systems, structure, and operational support that have helped designers create more profitable and organized businesses.

Instead of forcing designers to adapt to generic software, The Profit Mixer was intentionally built around real interior design workflows, making it easier to implement, easier to use, and more aligned with the realities of running a design firm.

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.

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

Yes — and then some. It replaces the need for an Asana board, Monday.com, or Trello 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?”
