Cabinet doors and millwork, ordered to the 16th.

Cabinet door manufacturing and ordering software.

001 // WHERE CABINET ORDERS BREAK

Every door is a rule book. Let the order form enforce it.

Styles, species, finishes, profiles, custom colors. Here is where cabinetry and millwork orders go wrong today, and what changes when your rules drive the form.

01 · TODAY

Styles × species × finishes

Shaker, raised panel, slab, beadboard. Not every style comes in every species, and not every finish goes on every wood. Your dealers find out when you call them back.

IN PAINLESS

Guided rules disable the combinations you don't build and say why, like "Glaze not available on paint-grade MDF." An invalid door never reaches the shop.

02 · TODAY

Edge and panel profiles

Ogee, bevel, square, or bullnose outside edge. An inside profile. A raised or flat panel. Each one is an upcharge and a different pass on the shaper.

IN PAINLESS

Profiles are options with their own upcharge and their own routing condition, so a raised panel adds its panel-raise pass to the work order only when it's ordered.

Production & Shop Floor
03 · TODAY

Species and finish pricing

A size bracket, a species upcharge, a finish upcharge, a dealer tier. Four lookups per door, and a slip on any one of them costs margin.

IN PAINLESS

Width × height price grids with round-up lookups, species and finishes as collections with % or $ upcharges, and dealer discounts that never stack. Dealers see their price as they configure.

Custom colors

Every dealer wants a paint match. Somebody has to remember the color fee, and somebody has to tell the finish room.

IN PAINLESS

An auto formula adds the custom-color fee to the order and recalculates when the order changes. The color rides on the work order to the finish station. We set up the formula with you.

Cut lists by hand

Someone reads each order and writes the cut list: stiles, rails, and panels, with the right allowances for the style. One slip and the door gets remade.

IN PAINLESS

Part sizes come from the same definition that priced the door, so every work order carries its cut sheet. Operators read the numbers at their station, not off a handwritten note.

Production & Shop Floor
06 · TODAY

Sizes in fractions

Door and drawer front sizes arrive by phone and email, in fractions. One transposed number and the door doesn't fit the opening.

IN PAINLESS

Dealers enter sizes in 16ths with your min and max checks, like "Height cannot exceed 96 inches for this style." What the dealer enters is what the cut sheet shows.

002 // FROM ORDER TO SHOP FLOOR

A five-piece door, station by station.

When an order goes In Process, every door gets a work order with its cut sheet, materials, and routing. The route comes from the product definition, so a custom color adds its color-match step and a stock color skips it.

  1. 01
    SAW

    Rip & cut

    Stiles, rails, and panel cut to the sizes on the cut sheet.

  2. 02
    CNC

    Cope, stick & edge

    Joinery, panel raise, and the edge profile the dealer chose.

  3. 03
    SAND

    Glue up & sand

    Clamped square and sanded to the finished door size.

  4. 04
    FINISH

    Match custom color

    Spray-out for approval before the full coat.

    IF CUSTOM COLOR
  5. 05
    FINISH

    Finish

    Paint, stain, or clear coat as ordered.

  6. 06
    QC

    Inspect

    Finish, square, and flat. Signature to complete.

  7. 07
    LABEL

    Label & pack

    Labeled with the cabinet number when the step completes.

A cut sheet on every work order

BOM, configuration, cut sheet, and instructions are snapshotted when the order goes In Process.

Tablets at each station

Pick, Build, Finish with one big button. Operators report problems and acknowledge station notes.

Travelers and labels

Barcode labels for every piece, auto-printed to Zebra, Brother, or Dymo printers.

Routes and will call

Ship dates land on the next route day. Pick Up orders show dealers your dock and a map.

003 // QUESTIONS

What cabinet and millwork shops ask us.

Can dealers configure cabinet doors and drawer fronts online?

Yes. Dealers pick the door style, species, finish, and edge and panel profiles, then enter sizes in 16ths. Combinations you don't build are disabled with the reason shown, and the price updates as they go.

How do custom paint colors get charged?

An auto formula adds your custom-color fee to the order and recalculates if the order changes, so the fee is never left off. The color itself rides on the work order to the finish station. We set up the formula with you.

Does Painless produce cut lists?

Every work order carries a cut sheet built from the same product definition that priced the order: the parts, sizes, and materials for that door or drawer front, with instructions for each station.

Can we price moulding by the linear foot?

Yes. Length is a field like width and height, and the price comes from your per-foot rate for the profile and species, with species and finish upcharges pulled from your collections.

Do we have to replace QuickBooks?

No. Painless pushes invoices and payments to QuickBooks Online automatically or on demand, and the Everything plan can also push bills, inventory, and journals. Invoices with sales tax or an applied deposit are entered in QuickBooks by hand for now. Or run the built-in general ledger instead.
