# The operating system for cabinet shops.

Custom cabinets, face frame and frameless. One system for quoting jobs, tracking production, and getting paid. Built for cabinet shops, not generic woodworkers.

## Built for your shop if

- Custom cabinet fabrication for kitchens, baths, and built-ins
- Face frame or frameless construction
- 2 to 40 employees
- Using a design tool for drawings and spreadsheets for everything else

## Not the right fit if

- You're fine not knowing your actual cost per box
- You don't need to track jobs from order to install
- You already have software that handles quoting, scheduling, and invoicing
- You're happy with the three-tool stack you have now

Most cabinet software handles the design side: Mozaik, Cabinet Vision, KCD. None of them run the shop. OpenSpindle starts where the design tools stop: quoting, production scheduling, shop floor tracking, and invoicing.

## The same problems cost cabinet shops money every week.

### The kitchen built to the wrong size
Customer sent updated measurements after the order was approved. The change made it to the designer. It did not make it to the shop. Twenty-four doors arrived on site a quarter inch too wide. You paid for the re-run and the installer's wasted day.

### The order that got buried
Eight jobs in the queue. Customer called to check status. You had to walk the floor to find their job. It was sitting at finishing, two days behind, and nobody had flagged it. The contractor was already waiting on site.

### The month you were busy but not profitable
Shop was slammed all month. Revenue looked good. But when you did the books, three jobs came in under cost because material prices had moved and the quote was never updated. You were busy making almost nothing.

## How a job moves through OpenSpindle

1. **RFQ In** -- Customer, project scope, and room dimensions captured. Design file attached.
2. **Quote** -- Box count, material, hardware, and finishing. Built from your actual costs.
3. **Schedule Production** -- Job drops onto the router and assembly calendar. Cut schedule visible before you commit.
4. **Cut, Build, Finish** -- Stages tracked from sheet goods to assembled to finished. Floor display shows where every job is.
5. **Deliver and Invoice** -- Invoice from actual job costs. Not from memory.

## Built for how cabinet shops actually work

### Quoting + Cost Library
Build quotes from your actual sheet costs, hardware pricing, and finishing rates. Material prices change. Update your cost library once and every new quote reflects the current rate.

### Machine Scheduling
CNC router, edge bander, and finishing line each get their own resource in the schedule. See production capacity before you promise a delivery date.

### Production Runs + Shop Floor Display
Track every cabinet job from sheet goods to installed. Live board in the shop shows where each job is across cut, assembly, finishing, and delivery.

### Client Workspace
Customers approve quotes, review drawings, and track order status without calling you. Fewer interruptions when you are trying to keep the router loaded.
