Products:

We provide software solutions that capture information about prospective kitchen & bath consumers from the moment they contact a Design Studio. 

Kitchen Manager is a business management software program designed for the design studio.  This open architecture Microsoft Access database product is perfect for a small business as it requires little hardware or networking to operate efficiently.  Kitchen Manager collects information about your prospective customers from the moment they call or stop into your studio.  Kitchen Manager builds upon this initial contact through the development of proposals that turn into contracts once the project has been sold.  Then, Kitchen Manager uses the information collected to build the contract to generate product and labor purchase orders to be submitted to all of your design studio vendors, including cabinetry orders.  Kitchen Manager has many very useful management tools to help the busy design studio keep control of all activities within their walls and on each job site. 

Quick Order Entry is provided by select cabinet manufacturers to their dealers to be used to create quotes and orders for production.  Each manufacturer develops their product specific catalog for use within Quick Order Entry.  They distribute, train and support this product for their dealers as they continue to refine and maintain their product catalog data. This very strong order entry software package will automatically check for program and catalog updates and allow it's users to submit orders electronically directly to the factory.

We continue this data stream through several software products developed specifically for the custom cabinet Manufacturer. 

Factory Manager is a order management software system that is designed to receive electronically submitted orders and process faxed or mailed orders into the system. This vast software system integrates fully with our other manufacturing software products.  Whether it's looking up the status of an outstanding order, or reviewing the original scanned order document attached to an order, this software package provides each manufacturer exceptional control over their orders, employees and processes.

Quick Order Editor is the complement product to the dealers order entry software.  This product is designed to open an electronically submitted order and offers several very unique features designed to make the order editing cycle much more organized and cleaner for all involved. 

Catalog Creator is the central catalog building database tool.  This comprehensive tool gathers all information pertaining to your product catalog.  All pricing, product specs., bill of materials, and graphics logic is stored within this exceptional tool.  Our incredible formula tools allow for each manufacturer to design their catalogs to actually represent exactly how they have chosen to price and build their products.

Catalog Printer is a software module that uses the information and graphics collected by our catalog creation software to print a product manual.  This ensures a complete match between the electronic pricing catalog used when entering and editing an order to the printed product spec book.

Quick Order Detailer is designed to use the bill of materials data entered in our catalog creation software to generate a complete cut-list of parts and materials necessary to build the kitchen submitted by the dealer on the entry software and edited by the order processor using our editing software.

In the coming months and years, we'll continue to develop this data stream into fully compatible AutoCAD drawings stemming from the cut-list data.  Please check back with us on our progress as we continue to develop our vision.

Please use the "Check for Update" feature within our Quick Order Entry software on a daily basis to get the latest updates to the manufacturers' catalogs as well as the software!
