A small size change means someone redraws the cutting list from scratch, and the material estimate is only as good as that person's memory.
Furniture Manufacturing ERP
Almost every order is a little different - a size change, another finish, material the customer sent in. Genzerp turns that into cutting lists, job cards and a delivery date you can actually promise.
The four things that slow this business down.
Job cards are written out, carried around and lost. Nobody can say what stage an order is at without walking to the workshop.
Boards, laminates, hardware and adhesive go out roughly. Offcuts are unrecorded, so wastage only appears in the year-end stock difference.
Sales commits a date without knowing what is already in the queue, so half the schedule turns into firefighting.
How a job actually moves
This is the path a single made-to-order job takes through Genzerp, from the specification to the installation.
The order captures size, finish, material and anything the customer supplied, so what was agreed is on record before a single cut.
The system builds the cutting list and material requirement from that specification, and tells you what is short before work starts.
Boards, laminates and hardware are issued against the job, with usable offcuts booked back instead of disappearing.
Cutting, edge banding, assembly and finishing are separate job cards, so the stage of any order is a lookup rather than a walk.
Finish and fitting are checked against the specification before packing, with any rework recorded against the job.
Dispatch, delivery and installation close the job, and the actual cost against the quoted price is there to see.
Ask it about your jobs
GenzAI reads the data this product already creates. You ask in plain language; it answers with the numbers behind it.
Which jobs lost money?
It compares quoted material and labour against what was actually issued and reworked, ranked by the gap, so you look at the few jobs that hurt rather than all of them.
What is holding up delivery?
It reads open job cards by stage and tells you which orders are stuck, at which stage, and how long they have been sitting there.
Which material do I keep running short of?
It checks confirmed orders against board and hardware stock and lists what will run out, when, and which purchase order already covers it.
What is inside the product
Everything below runs on the same connected core, so the quotation, the saw and the invoice all read from the same numbers.
Build the bill of materials from the specification rather than a fixed catalogue, so a size change re-calculates instead of restarting.
Generate cutting lists per job with sizes and quantities, so the saw works from the same data as the quotation.
Cutting, banding, assembly, finishing and packing as separate tracked stages, each with its own status and owner.
Sheet, laminate, edge band and hardware stock with movements, offcut returns and low-stock alerts.
Book what was left over and what was scrapped, so wastage is a number per job instead of a yearly surprise.
Material, labour and rework close against the job, so you can see which kind of work actually makes money.
Record material the customer sends in, kept separate from your own stock and reconciled at delivery.
Track dispatch, delivery and installation as stages, with everything pending visible in one list.
Invoices, payments, ledgers and GST-ready documents built on the same data as production — no second entry, no month-end reconciliation.
Leads, sources, statuses, follow-ups and meetings, so an enquiry and the order it turns into live in one place.
Positions, resumes, onboarding, leave requests and exits, with roles and permissions set per user and per module.
Ask for the numbers in plain language. Order predictions, P&L, consistency, performance and productivity reports come as standard.
Made to order, not made to stock
Furniture systems usually assume a catalogue of fixed products. Most workshops quote something slightly different every week, so the system has to start from the specification, not the product code.
Questions we get every time.
Every order we make is different. Can it cope?
Yes. The bill of materials is built from the order specification rather than a fixed product code, so a size or finish change re-calculates the cutting list and the cost instead of needing a whole new product.
Can it handle material the customer supplies?
Yes. Customer-supplied material is recorded separately from your own stock and reconciled when the job is delivered.
Do you track offcuts?
Yes. Usable offcuts go back into stock with their sizes so the next job can consume them, and scrap is booked against the job that produced it.
Can we see an order status without calling the workshop?
Yes. Each stage is closed on its own job card, so the status you see reflects the work that has actually been completed.
Will it work alongside our existing accounting software?
Yes. Genzerp covers orders, production, stock and costing, and can pass the resulting documents to the accounting package you already use.
Can we run it on our own server?
Yes. It runs on our cloud or on your own server, whichever your IT policy requires.
