How can we keep sales, design, and production aligned on configured orders?

Use connected configuration, BOM, and routing logic so approved options flow into pricing and production data. That reduces handoff errors and keeps configured orders aligned across teams.

Can software help us launch new finishes and variants faster?

Yes. PLM and revision control help manage new materials, finishes, and design variants. It keeps approved data aligned with production and reduces rework caused by outdated specs.

How can we support retailer and channel growth without adding more tools?

Use a single system that's built to connect orders, inventory, production, and multi-site operations. This way, it's easier to add products, channels, and locations without disrupting processes or reporting.

Can we use product-usage data to improve service or design decisions?

Yes. A connected data platform can capture usage data from smart furniture and combine it with operational data. This better informs decisions on models and products, and improves lifecycle insight.

How do we shorten order cycle times for configurable products?

Make use of customer portals, 2D/3D configurators, and connected production data to speed quoting and order handoff. That helps you reduce order lifecycle times and improve execution.

Industry-specific features of our ERP for furniture manufacturing

Purpose-built for manufacturers of household, office, hospitality, and public-space furniture – as well as store fixtures and fittings. Coordinate configurable products, custom orders, and mixed production models. Control variable materials, finishes, fabrics, and design changes. Meet demand for shorter product lifecycles, manage outsourced operations, and align orders, production, and costs – all in a single system.

Multi-mode manufacturing support

Support make-to-order, configure-to-order, and highervolume assembly within a single solution. Manage different production paths for different product lines. Avoid the need to split operations across multiple systems as complexity grows.

Bills of materials & routings

Manage complex, multi-level BOMs tied to product options, dimensions, and finishes – including paint, stain, laminate, and powder coatings. Support alternative materials and routings, maintaining version control as designs and materials change.

Order-driven production planning

Plan production directly from customer orders – coordinating materials, labour, and capacity for custom products. Maintain your delivery commitments despite heightened variability. Adjust priorities dynamically if orders get changed late in the cycle.

Boxes-on-shelf-inventory, stock, distribution, scm, supply chain, warehouse

Material & inventory management

Track raw materials, components, work-in-process, and finished goods across wood, metal, fabrics, and hardware. Visibility into constrained materials, outsourced processes, and supplier-managed inventory lets you stick to your deadlines and commitments.

Costing & margin visibility

Capture material, labor, overhead, and subcontracting costs – across all your products, orders, and projectbased jobs. Improve pricing for custom work, see how finishes and outsourcing impact margins, and track cost erosion from last-minute order or engineering changes.

Project-based manufacturing & order tracking

Gain clear visibility into status, cost, and delivery progress so you can track and follow complex jobs across multiple operations and suppliers. Support long or multi-stage production cycles, including larger hospitality, office fit-out, and public-space installation projects.

Quality & traceability

Keep track of all the specific materials and components used in each order. Support warranty claims, repairs, and after-sales service with full product traceability. Ensure your records for production, quality, safety, and sustainability are audit-ready at all times.

Subcontracting & outsourcing management

Plan and control outsourced processes such as laminating, coatings, and upholstery. Capture subcontract costs against jobs or orders. Maintain visibility into status and lead times, coordinate internal and outsourced work, and stay on top of delivery risks.

Engineering change & revision control

Manage revisions to BOMs and routings – even when materials or designs change suddenly or frequently. Make sure your production teams always have the latest versions, and maintain historical traceability for warranty, service, and quality purposes.

Order change management

Enhance control and handling of customer-driven changes that come in after order release. Recalculate material requirements, schedules, and costs. Maintain delivery commitments and margin visibility even with late changes and fast-shifting customer requirements.

Advanced planning & scheduling

Balance capacity, materials, and due dates across mixed production models and teams. Improve your responsiveness to order changes and variability in demand. Reduce expediting and late deliveries by aligning your plans with actual constraints.
