Custom configurations and dealer orders are drowning you in complexity.
Custom furniture and woodworking manufacturers live on configurability. But when product variants explode into thousands of SKUs, dealers order by email, and scheduling is manual, you spend more time managing chaos than making furniture. The manufacturers who scale are the ones who automate configuration and give dealers self-service visibility.
BOM complexity explodes with configurations
Custom furniture means thousands of combinations — wood species, finishes, fabrics, hardware. Each variant is a separate SKU. Your BOM becomes impossible to manage. Customers order options that don't exist in your system. Engineering specs don't reach production.
Dealers order by email and phone
Your dealers and retailers want a self-service portal, but you're managing orders through email chains and phone calls. They can't see real inventory or lead times. You spend hours every week answering "when will it ship?" and "can you change this?"
Lead times are promises you can't keep
You promise 6 weeks but don't have visibility into shop capacity. Production planning is manual. Custom orders and stock orders aren't scheduled together. Dates slip. You expedite at a loss or miss commitments.
Configuration management becomes automatic
When BOMs are built from configurable components instead of individual SKUs, ordering becomes intuitive. Customers specify what they want, not what exists. Engineering specs and production instructions flow automatically.
Dealers get self-service ordering and visibility
A branded portal shows real inventory, accurate lead times, and order status. Dealers self-serve. Your team stops answering the same questions. Dealer satisfaction goes up. Reorder frequency increases.
Lead times become predictable and shorter
When all orders — custom and stock — flow through one scheduling system, bottlenecks are visible. You schedule around constraints. Lead times become realistic. Delivery performance improves. Expediting disappears.
You scale dealer networks without adding support staff
When dealers can self-serve and your operations are visible to them, adding dealers doesn't mean more support overhead. Revenue scales with less friction.
- →Custom furniture manufacturers and millwork shops, $5M–$75M revenue
- →Companies selling through dealer and retailer networks
- →Operations with 30–150 employees and 1–2 facilities
- →Organizations where custom product configurations are manual and dealer ordering is chaotic
Assess your current BOM, dealer channel, and scheduling practices
We review how you currently manage product configurations, communicate with dealers, and plan production. We quantify the cost of manual order handling and scheduling inefficiency.
Design the configured-product and dealer-portal system
We map how Odoo will handle product configurations through a dealer portal, manage complex BOMs, and schedule production across custom and stock orders. Everything is built for how dealers actually want to buy.
Implement the portal and train dealers and your team
We configure the product models, launch the dealer portal, and train your team and dealers to use it. Dealer adoption is supported end-to-end until the system is self-sustaining.
Product Configuration and BOM Complexity Assessment
Maps how your current BOMs handle customization. Identifies SKU explosion opportunities and calculates the cost of managing current SKU count vs. a configurable model.
Dealer Channel Experience and Support Efficiency
Measures current dealer communication overhead and satisfaction. Shows the opportunity for a self-service portal to free your team and improve dealer retention.
Production Scheduling and Lead Time Performance
Tracks actual vs. promised lead times and identifies scheduling bottlenecks. Quantifies the cost of expediting and missed dates.
Every engagement starts with an assessment.
Before we recommend anything, we quantify the cost of your current state. The assessment tells you what the problem is worth — and whether solving it makes sense.
