Trades & Manufacturing

AI automation for joineries.

Every piece of furniture is bespoke, and every calculation starts almost from scratch. Quotes drag on, calls go unanswered while you are out in the workshop. We automate calculation, cutting lists and availability, integrated into your existing IT, without parallel systems.

The bottleneck in the joinery: every piece bespoke, every calculation from scratch.

Five time drains that every mid-sized joinery knows.

Individual quote calculation

Every order is different, dimensions, material, fittings, finish. The calculation starts almost from scratch and costs hours before a quote even exists.

Calculation proposal from dimensions & material

On-site measuring

Dimensions, sketches and wishes are noted on site, and transferred into the system in the evening. Between the notepad and the quote a detail is easily lost.

Measurements structured from voice note & photo

Material and cutting lists

For every workpiece, cuts, boards, edges and fittings are compiled individually. Mistakes lead to reorders and downtime in the workshop.

Cutting list generated automatically from the order

Availability

While you are at the machine, the phone rings out. Every missed call could be an order that moves on to the next workshop.

Every call is answered and captured

Customer communication

Queries about material, appointments and progress, each answer written individually, often with delay because the workshop comes first.

Status updates prepared automatically

Invoices & records

After installation, invoicing sits until there is time in the evening, and line items and extras have to be gathered again. That costs liquidity.

Invoice right after the order is completed

What we automate in the joinery in concrete terms.

Quote calculation for bespoke pieces

Dimensions, material and specification in, the AI draws on prices, times and earlier calculations of similar pieces and creates a calculation proposal. You review and approve.

Structure measurements & sketches

Voice note, photos and hand sketch from the customer appointment become a structured set of measurements, dimensions, material preference, special features. No detail is lost.

Material and cutting list

From the order, the cutting list is generated automatically: boards, cuts, edges, fittings, reconciled with your stock. Fewer reorders, less downtime.

AI phone assistant

Answers every call while you are out in the workshop, captures the request and contact, arranges consultation appointments and opens the case. No more lost orders.

Project and installation documentation

Progress, installation photos and sign-off are documented from voice notes and images, a seamless record for customer and warranty.

Customer communication

Appointment confirmations, progress updates and queries are prepared and sent automatically, even when no one is at the desk.

Invoicing

After completion, the invoice is drafted automatically from order, material and extras. You review and send, invoiced faster, better liquidity.

Scheduling and workshop planning

From order load, lead times and capacity, a structured plan emerges: what is made when, when installation happens, where delays loom.

A typical case from a joinery.

Joinery for interior fit-out, around 14 employees

A business that makes built-in furniture and bespoke interior fit-out. Before the project: every quote meant hours of individual calculation, because no order was like the last. Calls went unanswered when everyone was in the workshop, and cutting lists were compiled by hand, with occasional reorders.

After the rollout: the AI creates a calculation proposal from dimensions and material preference based on earlier similar pieces; cutting lists are generated automatically from the order. The phone assistant answers every call and arranges consultation appointments.

The following figures are an illustrative example, not guaranteed results, the actual levers depend on your processes.

Questions from the joinery.

Especially then. AI does not replace your experience, it draws on earlier calculations of similar pieces, your material and time rates and delivers a proposal as a starting point. You review and adjust wherever it is genuinely new. The repetitive number-crunching disappears.
From the order with dimensions, material and specification, the AI derives the required boards, cuts, edges and fittings and reconciles them with your stock. So before production starts you can see what is on hand and what needs to be ordered.
The assistant answers with your company name, understands the request and captures contact details and preferred appointment. Advice-heavy enquiries are logged for a callback or transferred, you decide what the assistant handles itself.
Yes. We work with common systems such as TopKontor Handwerk, imos, SmartWOP or Borm via their interfaces and export formats. Orders, quotes and lists end up where they belong, no parallel systems.
A pilot for one use case (e.g. quote calculation or phone assistant) ranges, depending on scope, between 5,000 and 15,000 €, and the upfront AI potential analysis (2,500 €) is fully credited. Ongoing operation afterwards as a monthly flat fee. We name a concrete range in the first conversation.
Yes. No sharing with third parties, no use for training public AI models, a full data processing agreement. On request, EU data processing and German hosting, depending on your IT's requirements.

By the end you will know whether AI automation pays off for your joinery, and if so, where the best entry point lies.
