Where Allmoxy wins
- More years in market and a larger reference base. Allmoxy has been the answer for cabinet and door configurator-led ordering for over a decade. If "who else uses it" is your top-three filter, Allmoxy wins that today.
- Microvellum, ClosetPro, and TigerStop integrations. We integrate with Cabinet Vision, but Allmoxy's design-tool ecosystem is deeper. If your shop depends on Microvellum, ClosetPro, or TigerStop, weigh this carefully.
- Configurator maturity at the entry tier. Their lowest tier configurator has more rough edges sanded off — it's had more shops break things in it.
- Established B2B portal patterns. If 90% of your business is existing wholesale buyers self-serving through a catalog portal, Allmoxy has had 15 years to refine exactly that workflow.
Where TimberCloud wins
- Your public website is included. TimberCloud ships with a custom-domain website out of the box, or embeds your storefront into a site you already run (Squarespace, WordPress, Wix). Allmoxy is a portal — you bring your own website.
- Real-time 3D Visual Configurator. Define your product's parts and TimberCloud auto-generates a 3D preview customers manipulate live on your storefront. Change dimensions, switch finish from Maple to Walnut — the 3D updates. Allmoxy's configurators are mature but catalog-driven, not 3D-visual.
- AI built in, not bolted on. AI Order Assistant extracts line items from POs and emails. AI Product Setup turns catalog PDFs and spreadsheets into structured products. AI Formula Translator writes pricing rules from plain English. Allmoxy has none of these. See AI features →
- No transaction fees above Commerce. Allmoxy charges a per-order fee on every tier, indefinitely. TimberCloud's Build tier is 0.5% and Production is 0% — flat fees, forever.
- The shop floor is in the same system. Allmoxy's production is limited. TimberCloud's Production tier covers stations, scheduling, BOMs, purchasing, receiving, and integrated shipping with 30+ carriers plus LTL freight.
- Published pricing. $199 / $549 / $1,299. You know what you're paying before the sales call.
Who should choose what
Choose Allmoxy if
- Your core business is existing B2B wholesale buyers self-serving through a catalog portal
- You rely on Microvellum, ClosetPro, or TigerStop and need native integrations
- "Years in market" outweighs "modern stack" in your decision
- You already run your public website somewhere else and don't want to consolidate
Choose TimberCloud if
- You want one platform for website, storefront, configurator, formula builder, and shop floor — without stitching tools together
- Your growth depends on attracting new customers online, not just serving existing wholesale accounts
- You want AI working inside the product, not as an add-on or chatbot
- You want a flat-fee pricing model that doesn't scale with your revenue
- You want a Cabinet Vision integration without a per-shop integration project

FAQ
Is TimberCloud's formula builder as powerful as Allmoxy's?
Yes — and the AI Formula Translator writes formulas from plain English, which Allmoxy doesn't have. The step-based builder references customer inputs (Width, Height) and attribute values (Wood Type, Finish) across unlimited steps, with a purpose-built library of woodworking measurements: Square Feet, Board Feet, Linear Feet, Cubic Feet, Perimeter, Waste Factor, and more. If you're running complex formulas in Allmoxy today, bring the hardest one to your demo — we'll rebuild it side-by-side.
Can I migrate from Allmoxy to TimberCloud?
Yes. AI Product Setup ingests an Allmoxy catalog export and turns it into TimberCloud's data model. Customer data, order history, and pricing formulas need more hands-on work, but it's a well-worn path. Most shops run parallel for two to four weeks, then cut over.
Does TimberCloud integrate with Cabinet Vision?
Yes. Microvellum, ClosetPro, and TigerStop are still Allmoxy-only — if you depend on those, factor it into your decision.
What's the Visual Configurator and is it included?
Real-time 3D customer preview on your storefront — customers see their configured product update live as they change dimensions and options. It's an in-platform feature, not a third-party tool. Ask about plan availability in your demo.
TimberCloud is newer. Should I wait?
The product is live and shops are running on it today. Newer means fewer customers, which means more influence on the roadmap — if you want a fully mature platform with thousands of references behind it, Allmoxy is further along. If you want a modern AI-native platform and a say in what gets built next, that's a feature, not a bug.
Who built TimberCloud?
Founded by Justin Romanos, who grew up in Portadoor — his family's custom door shop in Unionville, CT — and spent twenty years on the floor before writing software. Portadoor is customer zero and the product's design partner.
Switching from Allmoxy
AI Product Setup ingests an Allmoxy catalog export and turns it into TimberCloud's data model. Most shops run parallel for two to four weeks while the team gets comfortable, then cut over. We help with the catalog migration — it's not your job to retype your products.
