Tips for speeding up your material sourcing workflow

Material sourcing doesn’t have to eat up half your project time. Here are practical tips to streamline the process.

Organize by project

Keep products grouped by project from day one. When you’re ready to spec, everything is already in one place.

Use visual search

Search by image when you have a sample or reference. It’s faster than guessing keywords.

Export early, export often

Don’t wait until the end to create your spec sheet. Export drafts as you go — it catches mistakes earlier and keeps clients in the loop.
