The all-in-one CPQ and dealer ordering platform for wholesale manufacturers of configurable products. Your dealers configure, price, and order online. Work orders generate automatically. Invoices write themselves — and sync to QuickBooks.
But here you are. A dealer calls in an order. Someone re-keys it. Pricing gets checked against a spreadsheet that changed last month. The shop floor gets a printout. Three people check three systems when someone asks for a status update. The invoice goes out late. The payment comes in later.
You're running a modern manufacturing operation on a patchwork of tools that were never designed to talk to each other.
Every re-keyed order is a chance for wrong dimensions, wrong materials, wrong price. You catch it on the shop floor — or your dealer catches it after delivery.
Your pricing logic lives in someone's head and a file that's always slightly out of date. Dealer-specific discounts need manual overrides. Margin leaks are invisible until quarter-end.
Order entry, production scheduling, shipping, invoicing, accounting — each a separate login, separate dataset, separate version of the truth. Data gets re-keyed at every handoff.
Follow a single order from configuration to payment. Every handoff is automatic. Data flows forward. Nothing gets re-keyed, nothing falls through.
Dimensions, materials, options — your rules enforce valid combinations in real time. Pricing calculates instantly. No phone calls. No paper forms. No invalid configurations.
Dealer submits, inventory reserves materials, prepayment collects if required. Approval auto-advances the order. No manual status clicks.
Work orders auto-generate with locked BOM, routing, and work instructions. No re-keying. No interpretation errors. Product changes can't corrupt orders already in flight.
Inventory is issued at ship time. COGS is captured automatically. Freight, delivery, or dealer pickup — the system tracks every unit from warehouse to destination.
Line items, pricing, adjustments, and payment terms all carry forward from the order. No re-entry. No reconciliation. Credit notes handle the exceptions.
Stripe, check, or wire. Partial payments auto-advance the order. When paid in full, the loop closes — and every dollar posts to your built-in general ledger. No chasing. No re-keying into a separate accounting system.
One platform, end to end. No integrations to maintain. No data to reconcile. No gaps where things fall through.
Your brand, their self-serve portal. Every dealer gets a login to a portal branded to your business — your logo, your catalog, your pricing rules. They configure products, see live pricing, and submit orders without calling you. You control what they see, what they pay, and which discounts apply.
Dealers can't order what you can't build. Model products with unlimited options, dimensions, materials, and dependencies. Your manufacturing rules enforce valid combinations in real time. BOM and work instructions generate automatically from the spec.
The spreadsheet is dead. Price matrices, auto-formulas, dealer-specific discounts, and conditional rules generate accurate quotes as the dealer configures. Shipping and surcharges calculate automatically. No lookups. No mistakes.
No printouts. No re-keying. Work orders auto-generate with locked BOM, routing, and work instructions. Configuration snapshots are frozen at dispatch — product model changes can't corrupt orders already on the floor.
Materials tracked from reservation to shipment. Reserved at order time, committed at production, issued at ship. Pick, pack, ship with COGS recorded automatically. Freight, delivery, or dealer pickup.
The books close themselves. Invoices generate from shipped orders. Collect via Stripe, check, or wire. Every transaction posts to a built-in double-entry general ledger — with P&L, balance sheet, and trial balance reports included. Credit notes handle the exceptions.
A private assistant lives inside your account with secure, scope-locked access to your real data. “Which dealers are behind on payments?” “What are bookings versus last year?” “Show me every in-process order with a 7-inch cassette.” It reads your orders, invoices, AR aging, CPQ pricing, and production — and answers in seconds. Pay only for what you use with automation credits. No extra seats, no data leaving your account.
Enterprise CPQ is too heavy. Vertical-only tools fit one industry. Catalog portals can't price a configured product. Painless is the one system that does all three — built for manufacturers like you.
Tools like Tacton and Epicor are priced for the enterprise, take months to implement, and optimize the sales pipeline — not your shop floor. Painless goes live in weeks, includes the dealer portal and production, and is built for small-to-mid manufacturers.
Industry-specific systems only fit one category — windows, or signs, or countertops. Painless models your products with plain-language rules you can read and audit, so it fits whatever you build, without vendor lock-in.
Catalog portals let dealers reorder fixed SKUs. The moment your product has dimensions and options, that breaks. Painless prices the exact configured product and generates the matching work order — something a catalog can't do.
The only platform that unifies plain-language configuration, a branded dealer portal, and manufacturing work orders — and keeps your books in sync with QuickBooks.
Hundreds or thousands of possible configurations. Complex pricing logic. Shop floor instructions that change with every order. Sound familiar?
Face frames, door styles, hardware, finish — configure every detail. Pricing and routing generate automatically from the spec. No order interpretation required.

Learn more →Every manufacturer is different. We learn your business before we touch the platform. Go live in weeks, not months.
We shadow your teams, understand your workflows, and map your products. No assumptions. No generic onboarding. We learn how you build.
Your products, pricing rules, manufacturing constraints, and dealer network — modeled in the platform exactly as your business works today.
Go live with your dealer network. Dealers start ordering from day one. Weeks, not months. No multi-year implementation project.
New products, new pricing, new dealers — the platform grows with you. Continuous improvement, not annual upgrade cycles.
Pay a small percentage of order volume through the platform. Our incentives are aligned: we only win when you process more orders.
Kill the phone orders. Give your dealers a self-serve portal with real-time configuration and pricing.
The full order-to-cash platform — from dealer portal to shop floor to invoice to payment.
At roughly 1% of the order volume you run through it, the platform isn't another expense — it's the one line item that cancels a dozen others. Here's the honest accounting.
The platform pays for itself the first time a dealer places an order you never had to touch.
tools you cancel + hours you reclaim + orders you stop losing > 1% of volume
How Painless compares, what it costs to switch, and who it's built for.
An all-in-one platform for wholesale manufacturers of configurable products. It combines product configuration (CPQ), a branded dealer ordering portal, manufacturing work orders, shipping, invoicing, and accounting in one system — so a dealer order becomes a priced, build-ready work order with no re-keying.
Enterprise CPQ tools are priced and implemented for large companies and optimize the sales pipeline. Painless is built for small-to-mid manufacturers, includes the dealer portal and shop floor, and goes live in weeks — not multi-month, six-figure implementations.
Catalog ordering portals let dealers reorder fixed SKUs. Painless includes a real product configurator that prices the exact configured product — dimensions, materials, options, dependencies — and generates the matching work order for the shop floor, which a catalog portal can't do.
No. Painless syncs to QuickBooks and Xero, so you keep your existing accounting system — no rip-and-replace. A full built-in double-entry general ledger is available if you ever want to bring the books in-house.
Manufacturers of configurable products sold through dealer networks — including window treatments and shutters, awnings and outdoor shading, custom cabinetry and millwork, furniture, signage, specialty doors, and fabricated industrial parts.
Most manufacturers launch in weeks, not months. We map your products, pricing rules, and dealer network, then go live with your dealers ordering from day one — no multi-year implementation project.
Your dealers should order online, not over the phone. Your pricing should calculate itself, not live in a spreadsheet. Your shop floor should get auto-generated work orders, not printouts. Let's talk about how to get there.
