Carpentry & Joinery
Carpentry & Joinery: projects and progress billing, stock and warehouse, customer accounts and e-Invoice.
Challenges
- Customer dimensions stay on paper, so cutting errors surface only after production.
- Without panel nesting optimisation, waste is high.
- The assembly appointment and the production finish date do not line up.
- Hardware stock (hinges, rails, handles) is not tracked separately, so assembly stalls half-done.
Workflows
From measurement to cutting
- Customer dimensions are recorded per location.
- The cutting list is derived from the panel layout and waste is calculated.
- Cutting and edge banding are opened as work orders.
Hardware and assembly
- Hardware requirements are reserved against the work order.
- The assembly appointment is set against the production finish date.
- After assembly, handover minutes and a warranty record are produced.
