Cabinetry Real-Time Order Tracking Software
Budget: $15 – $25 AUD
I need custom software that lets my cabinetry shop track every order’s journey—quotation, fabrication, finishing, packing and dispatch—in real time, right from our desktop workstations. The priority is simple: the moment a team member updates an order’s stage, that change must appear instantly on everyone’s screen so no one has to chase status by phone or email.
The interface can be web-based or a native Windows app; whichever you feel will deliver snappy, reliable performance on standard desktop PCs. Mobile or tablet access is not required at this stage, but I would like the codebase structured so those front-ends can be added later without a complete rewrite.
Key points I want to see addressed in your proposal:
• An intuitive dashboard that lists all active orders with live status indicators.
• A straightforward way for staff to update an order’s stage and attach notes or files.
• Automatic time-stamped logs so I can audit who changed what and when.
• Simple search and filter tools to find orders quickly.
• Clear deployment instructions plus readable, commented source code (any modern stack you’re comfortable with).
Acceptance criteria: When we change an order’s status on one workstation, every other logged-in desktop must show that update within two seconds without manual refresh.
If you have built similar production or order-tracking systems before, especially for manufacturing or joinery environments, highlight that experience. I’m ready to move as soon as I see a solid technical outline and timeline.
