Window Software for Manufacturers

Factory-floor software for window manufacturers. CNC-ready cut lists, batch production management, machine integration, and end-to-end shop-floor workflow.

Built for the Fabrication Floor

Manufacturers need shop-floor software — not just quoting tools. Four capabilities define the difference.

1

CNC-Ready Cut Lists

Export cutting lists in formats machines read directly — Pertici, Elumatec, Urban CNC, Schirmer, FOM. Optimised for minimum waste with offcut recovery logic. Save the manual re-keying between quoting software and saw controllers.

2

Batch Production Management

Group orders into production batches by profile system, glass specification, or hardware set. Workshop runs one batch of Rehau Total 70 then one batch of Schüco AWS 75 — maximising setup time utilisation and reducing profile-system changeover loss.

3

Glass Order Automation

Auto-generate glass orders per supplier, grouped by unit spec and delivery week. Glass is typically the bottleneck in window production — automated ordering reduces lead-time surprises and the back-office workload of manual glass scheduling.

Shop-Floor Status Tracking

Every window item carries a status: quoted → accepted → in production (cut, welded, glazed, hardware fitted) → QA → despatched → installed. Factory floor tablets scan barcodes to update status; office dashboard shows real-time WIP and bottlenecks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Doorwin integrate with CNC machinery?
Yes. Direct export to Elumatec TC SBZ, Pertici Univer, Urban SL, Schirmer BAZ, and FOM Thunder machines via industry-standard BTL and Klaes XML formats. For other controllers, CSV export with full part-number and barcode data covers most situations.
Can it replace our existing ERP or sit alongside?
Both work. Small-to-medium manufacturers often use Doorwin end-to-end (quote to despatch) with accounting in Xero or QuickBooks. Larger manufacturers integrate Doorwin with SAP, Navision, or Orgadata LogiKal via REST API — Doorwin as the window-specific production brain, ERP as the enterprise finance backbone.
How many windows per day can the system handle?
Architecture is built for 200-400 windows/day sustained throughput, with tested peaks of 800+ windows/day at single-site manufacturers. Multi-site manufacturers with 2,000+ windows/day run Doorwin per site with central reporting rollup.
What's the typical time to implement?
Small fabricator (10-20 employees, 20-50 windows/day): 2-3 weeks from kickoff to full production use. Mid-size (50-100 employees, 100-200 windows/day): 6-10 weeks including CNC integration and staff training. Enterprise (500+ employees, multi-site): 3-6 months with dedicated implementation support.
