Design agency scheduling software

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla different from typical design service booking software?
  Most design scheduling tools only provide time management, whereas Anolla is a comprehensive all-in-one studio management, project management and booking platform for design agencies, creative studios and freelance designers. Anolla brings together design project booking, client portfolio (CRM), quote and contract management and automated client communication in a single workflow. Unlike static calendars, Anolla uses AI to optimise studio schedules, resource allocation and designer workload. The platform supports dynamic pricing for branding, UX/UI, web and graphic design packages. Anolla handles hourly consultations, creative sprints and multi-day design projects in parallel, consolidating all bookings into one design studio calendar.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support hourly and multi-day design bookings at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s most important competitive advantages for design and creative agencies. Unlike many standard solutions, Anolla does not force a studio to choose only hourly consultations or only project-based booking. The platform simultaneously handles hourly design consultations, UX workshops and strategy sessions as well as multi-day branding, web design and visual identity projects. In addition, you can configure design packages with variable duration and iterative sprints. All bookings are managed in parallel under a single design studio account and are consolidated into one clear project calendar. Thanks to this, Anolla is an ideal fit for hybrid business models such as branding agencies, UX/UI studios, creative co-working hubs, photo and video production studios and design consultancies.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce a design studio’s administrative workload and human errors?
  Anolla’s automated customer support AI assistant manages a design studio’s booking inquiries 24/7 across all channels. The AI-based assistant independently resolves up to 79.3%¹ of typical booking and project inquiries, such as explanations of design packages, pricing questions, available time slots and studio processes. In addition, the assistant automates up to 52.4%¹ of first-level technical and usage support related to booking flows, the client portal and payment solutions – without the project manager or account manager needing to step in. Smart customer communication and automated reminders reduce administrative time by up to 39.3%¹, minimize double bookings and human errors in the studio schedule, and free designers’ time for creative work.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing module help design studios offer optimized prices to clients?
  The Anolla dynamic pricing module automates a design studio’s pricing strategy for both hourly design consultations and fixed project packages. The studio can create flexible rules to adjust prices based on time of day, seasonality, workload, the complexity of branding or UX/UI services, and client segment (for example, new brand, growth company, agency partner). All price adjustments are applied automatically according to the defined business rules and studio workload. The system helps sell lower-demand time slots – such as weekday midday hours or seasonally quieter periods – at better prices to keep the design team’s schedule full. During peak hours, weekends or last-minute projects, the modular pricing model allows the studio to maximize project margins and total revenue. The objective is to simultaneously increase studio utilization, average order value and the overall profitability of the creative business.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable both for an independent designer and for a multi-location design agency?
  Yes, Anolla is built to scale from individual freelance designers to international branding and UX agencies with multiple studios across different cities. A solo designer can start with the powerful free plan, which covers core needs such as booking design projects, maintaining a client database, managing contracts and sending automatic reminders. Multi-location creative teams can use a centralized dashboard to manage different studios, design teams, specialists (graphic designers, UX strategists, copywriters, photographers), brand portfolios and resource calendars. The platform lets you add unlimited studio locations and user accounts, while role- and location-based access control (RBAC) ensures secure access to projects, proposals, pricing and client contracts according to each team member’s role (studio lead, project manager, designer, accountant).
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich tools does Anolla integrate with for design and creative teams?
  Anolla is built with an API-first architecture, making it an ideal central platform in a design studio’s ecosystem. The platform supports key integrations with payment solutions like Stripe, which simplifies up-front payments for design packages, recurring retainers and brand management fees, as well as project-based billing. For marketing and analytics, Anolla supports integrations with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel to measure the performance of booking flows, campaigns and landing pages. Raw data can be exported to BI and ML tools to analyze the studio’s sales funnel, conversion rates and resource utilization. In addition, Anolla offers a powerful API for integration with project management platforms (e.g. Jira, ClickUp, Asana), file management (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox), accounting software and other critical systems for creative businesses.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat does the free plan include and what do the paid features add for a design studio?
  Anolla’s free plan brings together all the essential tools needed to launch a professional design or branding studio booking flow without upfront investment. The free solution includes a booking calendar for design services, a basic client portfolio (CRM) module, email and SMS reminders, simple price list management, and initial reports. This makes the package an ideal choice for freelance designers and small creative teams that want to quickly organise studio bookings and communication. Paid plans add unlimited automation (e.g., complex booking flows, smart follow-up emails, multi-step approvals), advanced integrations with marketing and project-management tools, and loyalty modules that support repeat bookings, brand clubs, discount programs, and VIP client management.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing help a design studio mitigate business risks?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing model is specifically designed to reduce the business risks of creative and design studios. Branding agencies, UX/UI teams and freelance designers don’t have to pay high fixed monthly fees during periods when project volume is lower or seasonally variable. Platform costs always scale in proportion to the actual number of bookings, active projects and system usage, ensuring a stable cost structure during rapid growth, seasonal campaigns and quieter months alike. This approach is especially suitable for seasonal design services (such as Christmas campaign visuals, seasonal brand campaigns and trade show materials) and for companies where demand for design projects fluctuates with the market or campaign cycles.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can I start working with Anolla design booking software?
  Adopting Anolla as design booking software typically takes just a few minutes, because the setup process is guided by a 24/7 context-aware AI assistant that recognizes your studio profile (design agency, UX studio, photography studio, branding consultant) and suggests suitable settings. According to Capterra users, Anolla’s ease of use is rated 5/5¹, meaning most creative teams can start using the system intuitively without complex training. On average, nine out of ten team members master the core functionality for booking workflows, client management, and quote creation in under 30 minutes¹, allowing the studio to quickly refocus on creative work.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat makes Anolla’s design booking platform a future-proof solution?
  Anolla is a future-proof design booking platform thanks to its scalable modular architecture, created specifically for the needs of creative studios and design agencies. The cloud-based infrastructure and AI-powered learning system enable the platform to quickly adapt to new booking models, service packages and market trends (such as service-based design, sustainable branding, remote collaboration). Unlike static solutions, Anolla is built around a powerful API that makes it the central core of the studio’s entire technical ecosystem. The extensible modular platform also supports IoT integrations, such as studio door access control, smart access to rentable shooting or prototyping spaces, and sensor-based room usage monitoring. This architecture allows us to continuously connect Anolla with the latest technologies, design workflows and marketing channels, keeping a design studio’s tools consistently at the technological and competitive forefront of the market.
