Houzz Launches Ivy, the Leading Business Management Platform for Designers, Internationally
Catering to growing demand, Ivy is now available to designers in the U.K., Australia and Canada


Houzz Inc., the leading platform for home remodeling and design, today announced the international expansion of Ivy, the fastest-growing business and project management platform for interior design firms and other home design companies. Now available in the U.K., Australia and Canada, Ivy enables designers to run their entire business more efficiently, giving them tools to source products, create proposals, send invoices, manage vendor purchases and more.

“Designers in the U.K., Australia and Canada have been asking for a platform that will help them scale their businesses, and we are thrilled to bring Ivy to designers in these markets,” said Adi Tatarko, Houzz CEO and cofounder. “Ivy is already the most-used business management software by design firms in the U.S., and we can now empower designers in the U.K., Australia and Canada to run their businesses more efficiently and effectively.”

Ivy delivers an unmatched set of tools specifically created for interior design firms and other design companies, within a modern, easy-to-use interface. Ivy platforms in the U.K., Australia and Canada feature localized currency, spelling, date formats and terminology. In addition, Ivy is extending its community connections to international markets and providing local service representatives for members.

The Ivy app for iPhone, iPad and Android is also available in the U.K., Australia and Canada. The app empowers designers to manage multiple projects in one place and on the go with features that include task management, real-time expense and time tracking, talk-to-text note taking and more. Using augmented reality (AR), the app also captures and stores, with its built-in room measurement tool, accurate project dimensions for designers to reference when selecting products for a room.

Ivy, which launched in the U.S. in 2016, was acquired by Houzz in March 2018 to provide home professionals with software that helps them run their businesses more efficiently, effectively and profitably. Since then, Ivy has more than doubled its membership to 5,500 firms.
