A designer anywhere in the world right now is spending tens, sometimes hundreds of hours chasing data, files, and assets.

1.96 million designers in Europe alone. Same problem worldwide. Tools haven't changed since 2010.

01 — the problem

A $500 billion industry. Coordinated by spreadsheets.

6–10
different tools per project — design software, libraries, manufacturer websites, spreadsheets, email threads
5–15%
error rate in shopping lists from stale prices and broken availability data
1.96M
designers in Europe alone — none of them have a native infrastructure layer
02 — the insight

It's not a tool problem. It's a coordination problem.

Designer, client, manufacturer — three sides, each working in their own tools, on their own spreadsheets, on their own email threads. SIMTU is the connective tissue.

03 — the desktop app

Drag-and-drop into your design software.

Pull a chair from SIMTU library straight into SketchUp, Revit, Blender — twelve supported programs. No format conversion. No re-meshing. No plugin install.

SIMTU desktop app — drag-and-drop interface with 3D model library
SIMTU shopping list interface — automatically generated from 3D models
04 — auto-generated lists

Shopping lists build themselves.

Every 3D model placed in the project hits the shopping list automatically. Full specification, manufacturer details, live pricing — no manual data entry.

05 — project management

Every project. Every task. In one place.

Task lists, kanban boards, Gantt charts, milestones, calendar — built around how design projects actually run. No more juggling Asana, Trello, and email.

SIMTU project management — task list, kanban board, calendar
SIMTU messaging — real-time chat between designer, client, contractor
06 — communication

Real-time chat. No more email threads.

Designer, client, contractor — every conversation tied to the project it belongs to. Decisions stay where the work happens. Nothing gets lost in inbox.

07 — three sides, one ecosystem

Every participant. Connected in real-time.

Designer
Drag-and-drop, automatic shopping lists, client communication. Earns 5% on every product shipped from their projects.
Client
Approves products on phone. No email threads. No PDF attachments. Decisions move from days to hours.
Manufacturer
Live data, real-time orders, direct chat with designers. No more cold leads — qualified projects only.
08 — the unique mechanism

Designers earn 5% when their projects ship.

Nobody else does this. It's structural retention.

15%
Manufacturer pays SIMTU commission on every transaction.
10%
SIMTU keeps as net margin.
5%
Routes to designer's SIMTU Wallet — the Success Fee.

Manufacturer keeps full retail price. Customer pays catalog price. Designer earns from staying.

09 — pre-launch traction

Pre-launch. Already in motion.

26
manufacturer contracts signed (not LOIs — full commercial agreements)
1,560
3D models in the production library, ready at launch
79%
product-market fit from independent University research (UMCS, N = 112)
$170k
non-dilutive government grants (PARP) already deployed

Beta opens August 2026. Commercial launch October 30, 2026.

10 — why now

Three trends. Compounding right now.
