In made-to-measure furniture workshops every job is different: measurements are taken at the customer’s home, drawings are made, and carcass and door materials and hinge and runner hardware are chosen. When the quote lives in Excel and the cutting list on paper, waste on chipboard and MDF panels grows and missing hardware postpones fitting day. In the system we build, the project is entered as modules and the quote is calculated from the materials and hardware selected. From the approved job, the panel cutting list, edge banding length and hardware order come out automatically; cutting, banding, drilling and fitting stages are tracked on workshop screens.
Problems we see in furniture workshops
- Quote calculation taking hours
- High waste when cutting panels
- Going out to fit with hinges, runners or handles missing
- No knowledge of which stage an order has reached in the workshop

Cutting optimisation
Part layout by panel size, cutting list and waste rate.
Materials and hardware
Stock and order tracking for boards, edge banding, hinges, runners and handles.
Workshop tracking
Cutting, edging, drilling, pre-assembly and packing stations.
Fitting and handover
Fitting appointment, crew assignment, snag list and handover photos.
How it works day to day
- 1
Measurements are taken at the customer’s home and a project is created.
- 2
The quote is approved based on module and material choices.
- 3
The cutting list and material orders are produced.
- 4
Parts are labelled and pass through the workshop stages.
- 5
The fitting crew installs and a handover record is taken.
Integrations
Off-the-shelf software or custom-built?
When off-the-shelf is enough
For small workshops with few jobs, ready-made cutting optimisation programs can be enough at the start.
When custom software pays off
For workshops that want quoting, cutting, stock, workshop and fitting in one flow, a custom system reduces waste and lead time.
How the budget is built
We launch the workflow that saves you the most time first, then add modules based on real usage. The full scope below is calculated with 22 screens and 10 modules; the final price follows a free discovery call and a written scope.
Maintenance and improvements (optional): €550 / month. Hosting, SMS, WhatsApp and app store fees are listed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can we import projects from our design software?
Output from design programs that export part lists can be imported and turned into a cutting list.
Does it work with a CNC machine?
Cutting and drilling data can be produced in the file formats your machine supports; the scope is set in discovery.
Can part labels be printed?
Each part gets a barcoded label showing the project, module and edge banding details.
Can the customer see the order status?
Customers can be sent update messages at the build and fitting stages.
