The operating system for millwork shops.
Custom moulding, paneling, stairs, and built-ins. One system from the first RFQ to the installed and invoiced project.
Built for your shop if...
- Custom architectural millwork: mouldings, paneling, stairs, built-ins
- Project-based workflow with multiple production runs per job
- 2 to 40 employees
- Managing complex multi-room projects across a whiteboard and spreadsheets
- ×You don't need to track which room of a project is at which production stage
- ×You're fine estimating complex millwork jobs without a cost library
- ×You already have software that handles quoting, scheduling, and invoicing
- ×You're not ready to replace your current system
Sound familiar?
The same problems cost shops jobs every week.
The paneling job that ran out of material
You estimated linear footage for the library. Shop pulled from three different lots of the same species. Grain did not match. Customer rejected the install. You sourced and reran the panels on your dime.
The stair project that missed the rough-in date
General contractor needed the stairs roughed in before drywall. Your shop was two weeks behind because the job was sitting in the router queue and nobody had flagged it. GC threatened to pull the contract.
The project that grew without the budget changing
Architect added a coat closet and a breakfast nook mid-project. Shop absorbed the extra work. Invoice matched the original quote. You found out three months later when the job cost report showed a $4,200 loss.

Built for how Millwork Shops actually work
Not generic business software. Every feature speaks the language of your shop.
Quoting + Cost Library
Build quotes from your actual linear footage rates, species pricing, and install costs. Complex millwork projects need line items that match how you actually estimate. Not generic SKUs.
See Quoting + Cost LibraryMachine Scheduling
CNC router, shaper, moulder, and finishing line each get their own resource in the schedule. See production capacity by phase before you commit to a GC timeline.
See Machine SchedulingProduction Runs + Shop Floor Display
Track every project by room and phase. Library panel is at finishing while stair treads are still in the router queue. Live board shows the full picture without a status meeting.
See Production Runs + Shop Floor DisplayClient Workspace
Architects and homeowners review shop drawings, approve material selections, and track project status without calling you. Fewer interruptions during production.
