The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Faster, more accurate quoting / revenue operations.
Furniture & Wood Products
Faster, more accurate quoting / revenue operations
A furniture quote that does not carry the true cost of board or timber, hardware, laminate, edge-band, yield loss and labour is silently wrong, and most are. A fit-out firm quotes a project off a BOQ by eye, missing the real material, sub-contract and site cost; a modular maker quotes a kitchen or wardrobe without the real board-cost-per-unit, hardware and yield; a solid-wood unit quotes a made-to-order piece and a sample without the real timber and finishing cost; a panel processor prices its dealer book without netting scheme give-away. When a board, timber or hardware index moves, every old quote is wrong, the same product gets quoted at two prices by two people, and the margin assumption is never written down.
Who has it
The spine for contract and fit-out makers (project quoting off the bill of quantities and drawing), and important for modular and office furniture makers (designer and dealer quoting), solid-wood and joinery units (made-to-order and sampling), and panel, plywood and laminate processors (grade-price discipline).
What we build
One standard costing template (material at live rate, hardware, laminate, edge-band, yield loss, labour, sub-contract, overhead, margin) so every quote is built the same way, with BOQ/drawing-based takeoff for fit-out, real board-cost-per-unit and hardware for modular, and timber-and-finishing cost for solid-wood; a quote register that versions each quote and re-prices when a linked board, timber or hardware index moves; and win/loss capture so the next quote is sharper.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Faster, more accurate quoting / revenue operations; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Quote turnaround drops from days to under a day; quoting stops depending on which estimator is in; the margin assumption is explicit and includes board, hardware, yield and labour. Illustrative: a contract-furniture and fit-out firm standardised BOQ-based project costing and cut quote turnaround so far it stopped losing tender bids to slow response. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
