Built for cabinet shops

Every job, from the first call to the final touch-up.

A kitchen passes through sales, design, drafting, ordering, the shop, install crews and the homeowner. Cabinet Management keeps every hand-off on one record: who has the ball, what's missing and what happens next.

Sell

Quote faster

Ballpark on the first call, then send a polished, versioned estimate and share it through a branded customer portal.

Spec

Get it right once

Door, drawer, species, finish, hardware and trim per room, with a Spec Tracker that flags what's still missing.

Order

Release with confidence

Drafting hand-off, sign-offs and a shared checklist mean nothing goes to production incomplete.

Track

Know where it stands

Measure, verify and install dates, field notes and photos, alerts and billing, all on the job.

For your whole team

Everyone works from the same job.

The office

Sales, project managers and owners see the pipeline, who has the ball, and every date and dollar on the job.

Designers & drafters

Complete room specs, design boards and a drafter sheet up front; drawings and CAD come back to the job.

Installers & field crews

Schedules, specs, photos, notes and marked-up plans on iPhone and iPad, right at the job site.

Homeowners

A customer portal shows their draft, rooms, key dates, documents and who to call, under your shop's name.

How a job flows, start to finish

Ten steps, one project record. Here's the path a kitchen takes through Cabinet Management, shown on a sample job.

Sell

Quote the first call

The Budget Estimator turns a phone call into a ballpark: pick door style, finish and cabinet runs by the linear foot, compare options side by side and export a PDF.

  • Comparison options for series and species
  • Save as a project when the customer is ready

Sell

Open the project

A guided New Project form captures the customer, job site, salesperson, scope and terms once. Every tab after it (rooms, estimate, schedule, billing) inherits the details.

  • Construction stage and key dates on the overview
  • Customer and vendor items tracked per job

  • Shared checklist from pre-production to close-out
  • Every item owned by a role: salesperson, drafter, measurer

Publish a branded portal for each job, so homeowners can review drafts, see their rooms and selections, check key dates and open documents without calling the office.

  • Draft review. “Your draft is ready”, with one tap to review or send feedback.
  • Where things stand. Design, approval, production and install, on a simple progress line.
  • Rooms and selections. Door, species and finish for every room.
  • Dates, documents and a contact. Measure and install dates, the latest estimate and who to call.
  • Your shop's name on it. You choose which sections to publish, and when.
