Furniture Production Tracking Software
Budget: $750 – $1,500 AUD
I need a Windows-based desktop program that follows each sofa, chair, or table we build from the moment it is sold right through to the truck leaving our dock. The flow should start with order entry, automatically raise the fabric purchase request, then guide the piece through cutting, frame-building, upholstery, packaging, and finally shipping. At every stage I want a clear status board and simple way to update progress so the whole team can see what is waiting, what is in work, and what is finished.
A small local SQL database is fine as long as it scales to a few dozen simultaneous users; if you prefer another lightweight option, mention it and why. The interface must be straightforward—touch-friendly for the shop floor, keyboard-driven in the office—so staff can scan a barcode or type an order number and instantly move it to the next step. Basic reporting (daily output, stage bottlenecks, late orders) and user-level permissions are needed, plus the ability to export data to Excel for management.
Deliverables:
• Windows installer and compiled application
• Full, well-commented source code
• Quick-start guide and short video or screenshots that walk the team through common tasks
I will test by loading a sample order file, pushing items through each stage, and verifying that statuses, timestamps, and reports update correctly. Once everything runs smoothly on our shop PCs, the project will be accepted.
