What it costs
Two systems both changing status
A home is sold in one and still available in the other. Sync without a rule creates conflicts.
How it’s solved
We agree the source of truth for each type of data in your scope, before anything is built.
Built on Google
StudioLink runs on Google Workspace.

The problem
Six tools, and nobody sure which one is right
"The CRM said one thing, the spreadsheet another, and the website a third. Every Monday someone spent a morning copying numbers between them, and by Wednesday they'd drifted again." Most development teams don't have a tool problem. They have too many tools holding copies of the same facts, with nobody sure which copy is right.
The answer isn't always one more system. Sometimes it's connecting the ones you keep, and retiring the ones that only exist to move data between the others. That's how we approach integrations: keep what works, connect it, and replace something only if you want to.
A useful distinction before any conversation with a vendor: a one-way sync copies data from the system that owns it to the systems that display it, and a two-way sync lets both sides change it. One-way is simpler and safer. Two-way needs a rule for what happens when both sides change the same record.
What's live and what's coming
Where StudioLink connects today
Built on Google Workspace. StudioLink is built on Google Workspace, which is why meetings run in the browser and your team signs in with accounts they already know. Each Google connection is marked live on this page as it's switched on for projects.
Spark and Avesdo: coming. Direct sync with Spark and Avesdo is coming as part of SalesLink. It's designed to connect to the CRM you use so inventory, pricing and leads stay in step with your tour and sales-centre screens.
Everything else: scoped with your project. Using another system? Tell us what it is. We scope the connection with your project and show you the scope before we build it. A connection appears as live here only once it runs on a real project.

| What the data is | Where it usually lives | What to decide |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory and status | Your CRM or sales system | Which system is allowed to change status, and which only read it |
| Pricing | Your CRM or a price sheet | Who can change a price, and whether history is kept |
| Leads and registrations | Your CRM | Where a tour registration lands, and who it's assigned to |
| Drawings and models | The architect's files | Which set is current, and who says so |
| Approved media | StudioLink | Where the agency and brokers pull files from |
| Meetings and calendars | Google Workspace | Where notes and decisions are kept |
Who uses it
Who cares about integrations, and why
Sales managers care because double entry costs hours and creates errors. Marketing agencies care because they need the approved files, not the ones in an old email. Architects care because they want their current drawings used, in the format they work in: CAD, BIM model or PDF. The developer's operations lead cares about who has access to what, and what happens to the data when a consultant leaves the project.
What gets in the way
Where connections fail, and the fix
What it costs
Files in personal drives
The approved rendering is on someone's laptop, and they're on holiday.
How it’s solved
Approved media lives in the StudioLink library, shared with the people you invite.
More →What it costs
A connection promised and never built
A vendor lists a logo, and the integration turns out to be an export file.
How it’s solved
We show a connection as live only once it runs on a real project, and scope the rest before we build.
What it costs
Access nobody revokes
A consultant left the project a year ago and still has the shared folder.
How it’s solved
Guests have their own dashboard with the access you set, and you can change it.
