Quote to delivery, on the floor and at the desk. Job costing that holds, supplier flow that doesn't surprise, the workshop and the office on one stack.
Same method, different shape. Pick the workshop closest to yours — each has a deep page with the workshop-specific stack, proof, and how we measure.
Most workshop software is either a glorified Sage front-end or a project tool that doesn't know what a bench is. We build the rest — quoting from the spec, live job costing, supplier flow, drawings on the bench, the floor and the office on one stack.
Drop the spec, the drawing, the client brief. Materials list, labour hours, margin floor — all priced from your live cost data. Quotes out the door same day, not next week.
Hours booked at the bench, materials drawn from stock, supplier invoices auto-matched. The job's margin is on screen while it's still on the bench, not three weeks after delivery.
Bills of materials trigger purchase orders against approved suppliers. Lead times tracked, ETAs confirmed, no half-built jobs sitting on the bench because the timber didn't turn up.
Each bench has the day's jobs, in order, on a tablet. Hours booked with a tap. Material draws logged. The foreman sees what's where, what's blocked, what's next — without standing in the doorway.
Drawings, cutting lists, client specs — one version, signed off, pushed to the right bench. Nobody's building from a printout that's two revisions out of date.
Past BOMs, supplier datasheets, joint details, finishing specs, certifications — all indexed and searchable from the office or the bench. The shop's knowledge, captured.
A fourteen-staff joinery quoted from a heritage Excel that nobody fully understood, lost two days a week to chasing supplier prices, and watched winning quotes age out while clients went elsewhere. Two-week build: a custom Excel-killer hooked into live materials and labour rates, a supplier API for same-day price-and-ETA, BOM-driven purchase orders. Six months in: quote-to-confirm down from eight days to two, win-rate up thirty-one percent, forty-two thousand pounds of margin recovered.
How we measure: quote-cycle timestamps pulled from the new quoting tool vs the prior CRM (n = 184 quotes); win-rate baseline from the two quarters before go-live; margin recovery reconciled against Xero job-costing reports at month 6.
If your work isn't exactly this, the nearest sectors share the rhythm. Or browse every industry we build for.
Bring the spec sheets, the supplier list, the cost spreadsheet. That's enough.
