Window & door manufacturer software: quotes to install

Window & door makers: orders right first time. Measure once, make once.

Builders send window schedules as PDFs, someone re-keys every size into production, the wrong glass gets ordered and nobody finds out until the installer is standing on site. We build configurators, builder portals and factory systems for window and door manufacturers that catch the mistakes before anything gets cut. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for window and door manufacturing software that stops remakes before they start?

Every window is a pile of decisions: width, height, frame suite, colour, glass spec, opening direction, hardware, reveals, wind rating and sometimes a BAL rating on top. Multiply that by 40 openings on a house and one transposed number in a spreadsheet becomes a remake, a second delivery and a builder who's not happy with you. Most factories hold it together with a quoting tool, a stack of emailed PDFs, a production whiteboard and the one person who knows where everything's up to.

Wollopit builds custom window and door software around how your factory actually runs. Builders order through a configurator that only allows what you can make. Quotes, cutting lists and glass orders come straight from the configured item. The factory floor sees what's next and builders see live delivery dates without ringing you. We work alongside the window software you already rely on, fill the gaps around it and look after the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from window and door manufacturers

Does your window and door manufacturer have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most window and door makers we talk to build a great product and lose their margin in the paperwork between the builder's schedule and the install. One wrong digit costs a whole remake.

  • The problemSchedules re-keyed by handBuilders email PDF window schedules and someone in the office types every opening into the system, line by line.
    How we fix itA builder portal that takes orders directly, plus schedule imports that turn PDFs and spreadsheets into configured items for checking.
  • The problemImpossible sizes get orderedA sliding door wider than the suite allows or an awning too big for its hinges makes it to the factory floor.
    How we fix itA configurator that knows your product limits, so only valid sizes, configurations and hardware can be selected.
  • The problemGlass ordered wrongA safety glass requirement gets missed, a double glazed unit is copied as single or the sizes don't match the frame.
    How we fix itGlass orders generated from the configured item, with AS 1288 safety glass flags and glass sizes worked out from the frame.
  • The problemQuotes take daysEvery quote is built from scratch in a spreadsheet and builders have gone elsewhere by the time it lands.
    How we fix itQuotes priced straight from the configurator, with your margins, colour upcharges and options built in. Out the door the same day.
  • The problemChanges after the orderThe builder moves a window 200mm after it's been ordered and nobody's sure which version the factory is making.
    How we fix itRevision control on every order, with changes approved by the builder and the factory alerted before anything is cut.
  • The problemCheck measures don't matchThe site measure says one thing, the schedule says another and the difference turns up on install day.
    How we fix itCheck measures on a tablet on site, compared against the order automatically with differences flagged for sign-off.
  • The problemCutting lists by handSomeone writes up cutting lists and works out lengths in their head, then the offcut pile grows.
    How we fix itCutting lists generated from orders, grouped by profile and colour, with length optimisation to cut down on waste.
  • The problemProduction status unknownBuilders ring three times a week asking when their windows will be ready and the office walks out to the floor to check.
    How we fix itProduction tracking by stage with live dates the builder can see in their portal.
  • The problemHardware and reveals forgottenThe frames go out without the handles, the flyscreens or the reveals and someone does a second run.
    How we fix itKitting checklists per order so every frame leaves with its hardware, screens, reveals and labels.
  • The problemRemakes eat the marginErrors get found at install and nobody tracks why, so the same mistake happens again next month.
    How we fix itRemake logging with the reason, cost and who caught it, so you can see patterns and fix the cause.
  • The problemDelivery chaosTwo trucks turn up on one site, nobody has the site contact and the windows sit in the rain.
    How we fix itDelivery scheduling with site contacts, load lists, unloading notes and photo proof of delivery.
  • The problemWarranty callbacks lostA sticking door or a cracked pane gets reported by phone and lives on a sticky note until the builder chases it.
    How we fix itService and warranty requests logged with photos, matched to the original order and booked in for a tech.

03The systems

The big ones

From the builder's schedule to the installed window.

These are the systems window and door makers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

Order configurator

Only the windows you can actually make.

Your product rules live in the configurator, so every size, suite, opening and glass option is checked the moment it's entered. Builders and your own team pick from valid choices only. A price and a drawing come back straight away.

  • Min and max sizes per suite
  • Wind ratings from N1 to cyclonic
  • BAL options for bushfire zones
  • Opening direction and sash layout
  • Glass spec with safety glass flags
  • Colours, finishes and upcharges
  • Hardware and screens per product
  • Live price as options change
  • Elevation drawing for every item
  • Warnings before anything invalid saves

Builder portal & quoting

Builders order it themselves. You quote it the same day.

Builders and designers get their own login to upload schedules, configure openings and approve quotes. Every change after ordering is versioned and signed off, so the factory always builds the latest approved version.

  • Builder and designer logins
  • PDF and spreadsheet schedule imports
  • Quotes priced from configured items
  • Builder-specific pricing and terms
  • Online quote approval and deposits
  • Revision history on every order
  • Change approvals before cutting
  • Live production and delivery dates
  • Order history per job and site
  • Invoices into Xero or MYOB

Production scheduling

The factory floor knows exactly what's next.

Approved orders drop into a production schedule by stage and line, with capacity you can actually see. Screens on the floor show what to cut, glaze and assemble today. Every stage ticked off updates the builder's dates.

  • Stages: cut, machine, glaze, assemble, QC
  • Capacity by line and week
  • Floor screens and tablets per station
  • Cutting lists grouped by profile and colour
  • Length optimisation and offcut tracking
  • Barcode labels for every frame
  • QC checklists before dispatch
  • Holds for missing glass or hardware
  • Live dates pushed to the builder portal
  • Throughput by line and shift

Glass & materials

Glass ordered from the frame, not from memory.

Glass sizes and specs are worked out from each configured frame, batched by supplier and sent without anyone copying numbers. Profile, hardware and glass stock is tracked so production knows what's on hand before it starts.

  • Glass sizes calculated from frames
  • Spec and safety glass on every pane
  • Orders batched by supplier and date
  • Glass arrival tracked against orders
  • Breakages and reorders logged
  • Profile stock by length and colour
  • Hardware stock with reorder alerts
  • Purchase orders into Xero or MYOB
  • Works with Cin7 or Unleashed stock
  • Supplier lead times in the schedule

Delivery & service

The right windows on the right site, first go.

Deliveries are planned by run with site contacts, unloading notes and load lists that match the labels on the frames. Drivers get it all on their phone and snap proof of delivery. Warranty callbacks come back to the same order history.

  • Delivery runs planned by area
  • Site contacts and access notes
  • Load lists matched to frame labels
  • SMS to the builder before arrival
  • Photo proof of delivery
  • Missing item and damage reports
  • Service and warranty requests with photos
  • Callbacks linked to the original order
  • Tech bookings on a shared calendar
  • Remake reasons and costs reported
04How it changes

Before and after

A 40-window house order, wolloped.

Here's how one house order could change. Every factory is different, so we map yours first.

Before

  1. Builder emails a 6-page PDF schedule
  2. Office re-types 40 openings into the system
  3. Glass sizes copied onto a supplier order by hand
  4. Builder moves a window and the old version gets cut
  5. Builder rings three times for a delivery date
  6. Wrong glass found at install and a remake goes on

After

  1. Builder uploads the schedule to their portal
  2. Openings import and get checked against product limits
  3. Glass order generated from the frames
  4. The change is approved and the factory sees rev 2
  5. Live dates sit in the builder's portal
  6. Mistakes caught before a single length is cut

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your window and door manufacturer: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time in the office, on the factory floor and out on a delivery, then work out where the errors and the double handling really come from.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your suites and product rules, pricing, production stages, glass suppliers, builders, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the configurator or schedule import first, so the re-keying stops early.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things window and door manufacturers ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can builders upload their window schedules?

Yes. We can import common schedule formats like PDFs and spreadsheets, then turn them into configured items your team checks before they go to production.

Can the configurator enforce our product limits and wind ratings?

Yes. Your size limits, suite rules, wind ratings, BAL options and glass requirements are built in, so an item that can't be made can't be ordered.

Can it send glass orders to our glass supplier?

Yes. Glass sizes and specs are worked out from each frame, batched up and sent to your supplier in the format they want, then tracked through to arrival.

We already use Soft Tech, LogiKal or Windowmaker. Do we have to switch?

No. If your window software is doing its job, we build around it: the builder portal, schedule imports, production tracking and deliveries on top. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can builders see where their order is up to?

Yes. Every stage ticked off on the floor updates the dates in their portal, so they can check for themselves instead of ringing you.

Will it work on the factory floor?

Yes. Stations can run on tablets or wall screens with big buttons, barcode scanning and as little typing as possible.

How much does a window and door system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like a schedule import or a builder portal can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most window and door manufacturers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
