Causeway Joinery choose JMS software for bespoke joinery
February 2013 Woodworking News

Keen to see the business moving forward, Paul has in the last 12 months invested in Joinerysoft’s Joinery Management Software for quoting and manufacturing as well as a Trend window system which links to it. The catalyst for change came with the introduction of the new office administrator, Kerry, who was brought in to relieve Paul of the quoting for the business. Not having a background in joinery Kerry initially struggled with the vast amount of information that for Paul was automatic. As with many businesses, it soon became apparent that most of the information required for quoting was stored in Paul’s head. Paul decided to get away from their existing system which relied upon pre-existing knowledge and start a new system that Kerry could be involved in setting up. After a demonstration by Joinerysoft he could see that not only would it quote large jobs quickly, the software would also handle the custom joinery that was key to their business. Paul explains, “We do all bespoke work, including windows, doors, stairs and kitchens. No two jobs are ever the same and sometimes every item in the job is different too. We need software that can handle the variety of joinery that we produce but also quote quickly.”

Looking for software to take the company forward, Steve Moore purchased JMS in November 2006. "As soon as I saw it I knew that's what I needed."

With Joinerysoft access is easy meaning Steve can pull up a job, make changes, and print instantly. More than just a quoting package, production efficiency has also been improved because the joiners don't have to calculate their own cutting lists, resulting in a higher throughput of work.
