Our role in your industry
Klipboard's Role in Furniture & Joinery Manufacturing
At Klipboard, we understand that furniture and joinery manufacturing in South Africa requires a balance between customisation, production efficiency, and reliable delivery. Our furniture manufacturing ERP software supports product variation, material utilisation, and the logistics required to deliver finished goods across workshop, factory, and retail environments.
By integrating design data, production control, and delivery coordination within a single ERP platform, Klipboard helps furniture manufacturers manage customer specifications, optimise material usage, and deliver quality products on time and to specification.
The challenges you face
We Understand the Challenges You're Facing
You’re not just producing furniture; you’re managing high levels of customisation, material costs, multi-stage production processes, and customer delivery expectations. We work with furniture and joinery manufacturers supplying residential, commercial, and retail markets, so we understand the operational challenges you face:
-
Product Variants and Configuration Management: Colours, finishes, sizes, and options significantly increase product complexity. Managing BOMs across thousands of possible configurations requires structured ERP support for configurable products.
-
Material Yield and Cutting Optimisation: Timber, board, and fabric represent major cost drivers. Optimising cutting patterns and tracking actual yields against expected output is essential to maintaining margins.
-
Production Scheduling Across Multiple Operations: Furniture production spans cutting, machining, assembly, finishing, and packaging. Coordinating workflows across departments while meeting promised delivery dates requires disciplined planning.
-
Delivery and Installation Coordination: Furniture delivery often includes room-of-choice delivery or on-site installation. Managing delivery windows, returns, and customer communication benefits from ERP systems designed to support logistics and customer fulfilment.
We've seen it, we've heard it - and we've built Klipboard Manufacturing to help you take control of it.
