Woodworking ERP for shops that build to order

Built for made-to-order wood products, not commodity panel or lumber production.

The Woodsystems week board with production work orders and department capacity

Why it matters

Most wood manufacturing software was built for a different kind of factory

For custom wood manufacturers that need production, labor, scheduling and money connected without an enterprise ERP programme.

1

General ERPs need a partner to configure them into a wood shop.

2

MES systems are built for plants running the same product all day.

3

The production system does not know the customer, the drawings or the install.

4

Labor reaches payroll but never reaches the job that used it.

How it works

Sell, plan, build, bill

Step 1

Sell

Estimates with options and revisions, customer acceptance and signatures, deposits on acceptance.

Step 2

Plan

The week board for production, the install planner for crews, and department capacity measured from actual hours.

Step 3

Build

Work orders with template steps on the shop tablet, scans that start and finish a step, a bill of materials and receiving at the door when manufacturing is in your setup.

Step 4

Bill

Progress invoices from the payment schedule, online payments, and a job costing tab that compares quoted cost with actual purchases and labor.

Questions buyers ask

Straight answers, before the demo.

What is a woodworking ERP?+

Software that runs a wood shop end to end: quoting, jobs, production, labor, purchasing, billing and reporting on one record, rather than a separate tool for each.

Is Woodsystems for plywood, panel or lumber manufacturers?+

No. It is built for made-to-order wood products such as cabinetry, millwork, closets and furniture. Process manufacturers of panel, plywood or lumber need a different kind of system.

Does it include inventory and purchasing?+

Yes, as optional capabilities: suppliers and price lists, purchase orders, receiving with labels and scanning, stock on hand and a bill of materials per work order.

Does it do cut lists and machine schedules?+

Cut lists by material with a machine's rate for each, and an optional day-by-day production schedule with machine lanes. It does not attempt full MES control.

How long does it take to go live?+

Weeks, not quarters. A walkthrough of how your shop works, a configuration to match, and a first live job before more is switched on.

Does it replace our accounting software?+

No. It syncs customers, estimates, invoices, payments and hours with QuickBooks Online, which stays the ledger.
