Software for Cabinet Makers — Workshop Management Built for Cabinetry

Cabinet making sits at the crossroads of precision craftsmanship and production management. Whether you're building bespoke fitted kitchens, freestanding furniture, or commercial vanity units, every job follows a production sequence: design confirmation, cutting lists, CNC or hand cutting, edge banding, assembly, finishing, hardware fitting, and installation. Managing one kitchen is straightforward. Managing six simultaneously — with different boards, different handles, different worktops, and different delivery dates — that's where workshops fall apart.

The Cabinet Maker's Problem

Your sheet materials arrive from three suppliers. The Blum hinges are backordered. The client changed the handle style last Tuesday. Your sprayer has three kitchens waiting, and your fitter is supposed to be on site tomorrow but the carcasses aren't assembled yet. Sound familiar?

This isn't a project management problem — it's a production management problem. And it needs production software, not another Trello board.

Track boards, edging, hardware, and finishes — with low-stock alerts before you run out

From Cutting List to Installation

The beauty of purpose-built software is that everything connects. When you assign materials to a kitchen project, stock levels update. When you schedule a phase, your workers see their assignments. When the project completes, you see exactly what it cost vs what you quoted. No spreadsheet juggling, no mental arithmetic, no surprises.

Small Workshops and Growing Teams

Joinery Core works for a two-person cabinet shop making one kitchen at a time, and for a twelve-person workshop with eight projects in production. The system scales without adding complexity — you use the features you need and ignore the rest. Start with the Gantt chart and stock tracking. Add team scheduling and financials when you're ready.

The Bottom Line

Cabinet making is production joinery with high material costs and tight margins. Knowing where every board is, what every project costs, and when every delivery happens isn't a luxury — it's survival. If your workshop makes cabinets, Joinery Core was built for you.
