Workshop File Management Software — Drawings, Specs and Documents
The client sent the drawings three weeks ago. They're somewhere in your email. Or was it WhatsApp? Or the shared drive? Or printed out and left on the bench? Finding the right file for the right project shouldn't take ten minutes — but in most workshops, it does.
The File Chaos Problem
A typical joinery project generates dozens of files: architectural drawings, detail drawings, specifications, spray colour samples, fitting instructions, site photos, client approval emails. These files arrive from different sources, in different formats, at different times. Without a system, they end up scattered across email inboxes, phone galleries, desktop folders, and physical filing cabinets.
The result: your joiner starts work with an outdated drawing because the updated version is in someone else's email. A mistake gets made. A piece gets cut to the wrong dimension. Time and material wasted.
How Joinery Core Handles Files
Files Linked to Projects
Every file lives inside its project. Drawings, specs, photos, manuals — all attached to the job they belong to. When your joiner opens the project, everything they need is right there.
Organised by Type
Files are categorised: main drawings, material data sheets, reference photos, fitting instructions. No hunting through a flat list of 30 files — jump straight to what you need.
Production Sheet Integration
When you generate a production sheet for the workshop floor, attached drawings and material documents are included automatically. The joiner gets a complete pack — no chasing for missing specs.
Secure Cloud Storage
Files are stored securely in the cloud. Accessible from workshop, office, or site. No more USB sticks, no more "my laptop has the latest version."

One Source of Truth
When every file lives inside its project, there's never a question about which version is correct. The file in the system is the file. If it's updated, the old version is replaced. Everyone works from the same information. That alone prevents more mistakes than most workshops realise.
