CNC Routing Shops

The operating system for CNC routing shops.

Cabinets, millwork, signs. Quote by the sheet, track every job from cut to delivery, and replace the stack of tools that were not built for routing work.

CNC Routing Shops
Sheet 4x8 · 5 parts nested
87% yield
MDF 3/4" · 24 doors · 3 sheets

Built for your shop if...

  • Custom cabinet, millwork, and sign work
  • Sheet-based production. MDF, plywood, plastics.
  • 2 to 40 employees
  • Quoting in spreadsheets and losing track of sheet counts
Most routing shops manage jobs across a design tool, a spreadsheet, and a whiteboard. OpenSpindle replaces all three.
Not the right fit if
  • ×You're fine underestimating material on every job
  • ×You don't need to track jobs from measure to install
  • ×You prefer managing four tools that don't talk to each other
  • ×You're happy adding admin staff when business picks up

Sound familiar?

The same problems cost shops jobs every week.

The sheet that blew the budget

You quoted 4 sheets. Job needed 5. Nobody caught it until the material order. That is $200 you will never get back, and the customer already approved the original number.

The cabinet job with no install date

Customer approved the quote. You built it. Delivery day comes and the site is not ready. The job sits in your shop for three weeks and nobody knows whose fault it is.

The cabinet order built to the wrong size

Customer sent updated measurements on Tuesday. You quoted off the original. Shop built off the original. Twenty-four doors arrived on site a quarter inch too wide. You pay for the re-run and the installer's wasted day.
