Welcome to the D’leaps Studio OS
your money machine
Why D'leaps Studio
A premium client is not only buying your taste. They are buying the confidence that a large, slow, expensive job will be handled properly - and they decide whether you can do that long before the work starts.
You are being assessed before you are hired
The quote arrives as a spreadsheet with the column widths wrong. The revision lands as WhatsApp voice notes. Payments are tracked in a notebook. None of that is about your design, and all of it is being read as evidence of how the project will go.
A sectioned BOQ on your own letterhead, a receipt that arrives the same minute money lands, a portal that answers "where are we?" without a phone call - that is the same studio, presented in a way that invites a bigger brief.
How you present sets what you can charge
Two studios quote the same kitchen. One sends a figure in a message. The other sends a room-by-room breakdown, a clear scope, and a document that looks like it came from a business with a hundred of these behind it. The second studio is not cheaper, and is rarely asked to be.
Discounting is usually a symptom. When a client cannot see what they are paying for, price is the only thing left to argue about - so the fix is upstream of the negotiation, in what you hand over.
Show the machinery and the doubt goes quiet
The unspoken question at every high-value pitch is what happens after the advance. Opening the portal in the meeting answers it without a word of reassurance: the milestones, the site log, the approvals, the ledger they will be able to see for themselves.
It changes the conversation from trust me to look. Clients who have been let down by a contractor before tend to notice that immediately, and they are exactly the clients worth winning.
What we offer
Six things, and they are the six a studio actually spends its week on. Not modules bolted together after the fact - one system, where the enquiry you logged in January is the same record that produces the final receipt in August.
A pipeline instead of a phone full of names
Every enquiry lands in one board and moves across it: new, met, quoted, won. Nothing sits in a WhatsApp thread waiting to be remembered, and you can see at a glance which conversations have gone cold while you were on site.
- Leads to clients to projects, without re-typing anything
- Per-city project codes, generated the same way every time
- You can tell what happened to a lead six months later
Room-wise BOQs your client can actually read
Sections, rooms, items, rates and areas, priced to the rupee - then out as a document on your letterhead with the numbers broken down where the client expects to find them. Discounts before or after tax, with a label you choose.
- Import an existing sheet from Excel or CSV
- A shared catalogue, so rates stop drifting between quotes
- The client signs it in their portal and the BOQ locks
Invoices, receipts, and knowing where you stand
An invoice pulls the project's BOQ across section by section, keeps its discount, and numbers itself. A payment produces a branded receipt immediately. Subtotal, tax, final value in words, paid, balance - on every document, in the same place.
- Numbered automatically, so nothing is ever duplicated
- Part payments tracked per invoice with a running balance
- Receipts the same minute the money arrives
Site work that reports itself
Pick from a library of interior execution tasks across thirteen milestones, schedule them, assign them. As tasks are completed the milestone closes and project progress moves on its own - there is no percentage slider for anybody to be optimistic with.
- Deadlines, owners and a comment thread on every task
- One calendar for tasks, milestones, site visits and due dates
- Progress is computed, never estimated
A portal that answers the question before it is asked
Your client signs in on their phone and sees progress, milestones, drawings and renders, their invoices and every receipt - each one downloadable as a proper document. They approve the BOQ with a typed name and a drawn signature.
- Automatic updates when a task or milestone closes
- Invited by WhatsApp, with the link and passcode filled in
- Costs, contractors and margins are never exposed to it
What each project actually made you
Materials totalled from what was ordered, contractor payments grouped and dated, miscellaneous spend logged - set against the quoted value, per project and per room. Admin only, and it never reaches the portal.
- Quoted against cost, with the margin worked out for you
- Suppliers, materials and purchase orders in one place
- Spot the room that quietly loses money on every job
See it from your client's side
This is the portal your client signs into, running. Tap through it the way they would - it is the same four screens they get on the first day of the job.
The section above argues that showing a client the machinery is what wins the work. A page that only described that would be making the same mistake it is warning you about, so here is the thing itself.
Your client never sees a cost, a contractor or a purchase order. They see scope, progress, drawings, dates and what they owe - and nothing else. That boundary is enforced on the server, not by hiding buttons.
- Progress computed from completed tasks, never a slider somebody dragged.
- Every invoice and receipt downloadable as a branded document.
- They approve the BOQ with a typed name and a drawn signature, and it locks.
- Invited by WhatsApp, with the link and passcode already filled in.

Not a pitch deck. A working studio.
This was not built to be sold. It was built because a Hyderabad studio was losing money in spreadsheets, and it ran that studio for years before anybody else was offered it.
Every awkward edge in this software exists because somebody hit it on a live job. That is a slower way to build a product and a much better way to end up with one that survives a Tuesday.
Your data, and your client's
Two separations matter here, and both are structural rather than a setting somebody can leave switched off.
One database per studio. Not a shared table with a column saying which studio a row belongs to. Your clients, your rates and your margins are in a database of their own, with its own credentials, which is why no query anywhere can accidentally show them to another subscriber.
Your client sees scope, not cost. The portal serves progress, drawings, dates, invoices and receipts. There is no endpoint for expenses, contractors, purchase orders or your ledger - they do not exist on that side of the wall, so they cannot leak through it.
- A backup is a mysqldump. Leaving is a file, not a negotiation.
- An audit trail records who changed what, on which record, from where.
- Deletes are soft, so a wrong click is recoverable rather than final.
- A licence lapse never locks you out - the worst state is read-only.
Pricing
Every plan is the same software. What changes is how many people it covers and which modules are switched on. Prices are exclusive of GST.
How it works
Four steps, and two of them happen without you.
Subscribe
Pick a plan and pay, or start a free trial. A subscription code arrives on screen and by email straight away.
We set up your space
Your own database and your own install, on your domain or a subdomain of ours. Nobody else's studio is in there.
Enter the code
As soon as your studio is up we take you straight to it, with the code already filled in. If it is still being prepared, the code and the address are in your inbox.
Bring your team in
Add your people, load your rate card, and quote your first project the same day.
Questions people actually ask
The ones that come up before anybody pays, answered the way they were answered on the phone.
How long before we are actually working in it?
An afternoon. Your studio and its database are created when you subscribe, and the code in your email activates it. There is no implementation project and nobody comes to site.
What takes longer is your own data: team, rates and the catalogue you quote from. Most studios do that over the first week, on live jobs, rather than stopping to migrate.
Can we bring our existing BOQs in?
Yes - Excel and CSV import, section by section, and the sqft lines keep their areas rather than collapsing to a quantity of one.
Older completed projects are usually not worth importing. Start with the live ones.
What happens if we stop paying?
You go read-only. You can still sign in, open every project, print an invoice and take a payment. Nothing is deleted and nothing is held hostage.
Locking a studio out of its own client records over a billing dispute would be an unreasonable thing to build, so it is not built.
If we leave, do we get our data?
Your studio is one database and one folder. You get both. There is no export format to argue about and no per-record fee - it is a file.
Can we use our own domain?
Yes. Studios start at cloud.dleaps.com/subs/yourstudio, and a domain of your own can be pointed at it afterwards. Your documents and your client portal carry your logo and your colours either way.
Does our client need an app?
No. The portal is a web app that installs to the home screen if they want it there. They are invited by WhatsApp, with the link and passcode already filled in, and they sign in with their mobile number and a passcode.
We already use WhatsApp and Excel. Why change?
You would not, for one project. The cost shows up across a year: the quote rebuilt from scratch because the last one is in someone's downloads, the payment nobody recorded, the room that lost money and nobody noticed.
The honest test is the margin screen. If you cannot say what last month's kitchens actually made you, that is the gap this fills.
Already have a code?
Open your studio and add /activate.html to the address - for example https://cloud.dleaps.com/subs/yourstudio/activate.html - then type your code. If you have lost it, write to us and we will resend it.
