Programa is built around design studio workflows. Fohlio is built around the full procurement cycle — from initial specification through RFQ, quote comparison, purchase order, and order tracking. For procurement managers, that difference is everything.
Fohlio's property-based model, cross-project analytics, and brand standards library are designed for hospitality owners managing 10, 50, or 200 locations. Programa is designed for design studios managing individual projects.
Fohlio's financial reconciliation module lets you compare what was requested, what was invoiced, and what was paid — across every project and property. Programa has no equivalent. For teams managing significant FF&E spend, this is the difference between data and guesswork.
“Fohlio helped consolidate multi-team data, keep track of a high number of processes simultaneously with multiple different deliverables, all time sensitive. It centralized a workflow with a huge disconnect between specified, purchased, and implemented products.”
