Custom Manufacturing Software — First Click to Final Shipment
TimberCloud connects your storefront, configurator, and shop floor in one platform. One order, one database. No dimension gets re-typed.
One Order Moves From Checkout to Cut Sheet Without Anyone Re-Typing It
Most shops are running two broken halves. A storefront that can't price a configured product. A back-office system that never sees what the website sold. The gap between them gets filled by hand — dimensions copied from an email into a spreadsheet, from a spreadsheet into a cut sheet, from a cut sheet into the CNC. The same order rebuilt five times before it ships.
TimberCloud is built to be both halves in one platform. Your customer configures a cabinet, door, or furniture piece on a live pricing storefront. That order moves directly into production as a cut sheet, work order, and hardware list. No re-entry. No spreadsheet in the middle. No whiteboard to update.
The category TimberCloud built for this is Custom Manufacturing Commerce: a customer-facing configurator, formula-based pricing, and a shop-floor system — connected to the same order record from the first click to the shipping label.
What is custom manufacturing software?
Custom manufacturing software is the system a made-to-order shop uses to sell configured products — not off-the-shelf ones — and then build what gets ordered. That means it has to do two jobs most software only does one of: run a storefront that can price a product that doesn't exist yet in real time, and run a shop floor that turns the resulting order into cut sheets, work orders, and a shipment.
Generic ecommerce platforms weren't built to price a cabinet, door, or furniture piece that only exists once a customer configures it. Woodworking ERPs were built from the opposite direction — for the back office, with the storefront treated as an afterthought or left out entirely. TimberCloud calls the category it built for this Custom Manufacturing Commerce: a customer-facing configurator, formula-based pricing, and the production system to actually build what's ordered, in one platform. See how that compares to the patchwork of tools most shops are running today, or read how the platform works end to end.
Four Connected Pieces, One Platform
Custom manufacturing software has to sell an order, price it in real time, turn it into production documents, and get it out the door. TimberCloud handles all four.
Commerce — storefront and checkout. A branded storefront hosted on your domain, or embedded in the site you already have. Customers configure and check out on live pricing instead of emailing you for a quote.
Build — the Visual Configurator. A 3D model updates in real time as a customer changes finish, hardware, or dimensions. What they see on screen is what your shop builds. Fewer revision cycles, faster approvals.
Production — the shop floor. Every order becomes a cut sheet, work order, and hardware list automatically. Set up the stations your shop runs — CNC, edgebanding, assembly, finishing, QC — scan a barcode to advance a job, and monitor the floor from the iOS or Android app.
AI — built in. Describe your pricing in plain English and TimberCloud turns it into a working formula. The AI Order Assistant reads an inbound email, PO, or blueprint and drops a structured order into Production. A task that used to take an hour of re-typing takes about a minute of review.
Built for What You Make, Not for Manufacturing in General
Made-to-order work looks different depending on what leaves your shop. TimberCloud is set up around those differences.
Cabinet makers. Kitchen, vanity, and cabinetry shops selling configured product online and running the production behind it.
Door manufacturers. Quote from spec with a configurator, build to order on the floor. Porta Door — the founder's family shop in Unionville, Connecticut — runs on TimberCloud today. It's a working shop, not a case study.
Millwork and trim. A B2B contractor portal with net-15/30/60 billing, linear-foot and profile-based configuration, and production stations built for moulder, profile, stain, and finish work.
Custom furniture. A configurator built for furniture decisions — wood species, leg style, joinery, cushion fabric — plus lead-time quoting that shows a delivery window based on your actual production queue.
TimberCloud's founder, Justin Romanos, grew up in his family's door shop. The platform was built to solve problems he ran into on an actual shop floor, not problems described in a product requirements document.
Pricing That Scales From a Solo Maker to a Full Shop Floor

FAQ
- What is custom manufacturing software?
Software that lets a made-to-order manufacturer sell configured products online and run the production behind them — a customer-facing configurator, formula-based pricing, and a shop-floor system in one platform, instead of a website, a quoting spreadsheet, and separate production tools stitched together.
- What's the difference between build-to-order software and a regular ecommerce platform?
A regular ecommerce platform sells fixed SKUs at fixed prices. Build-to-order software prices a product that doesn't exist until the customer configures it — dimensions, materials, and options all affecting the price in real time — and then turns that configuration into the cut sheets and work orders a shop needs to build it.
- Is made-to-order ecommerce different from a normal online store?
Yes. A made-to-order ecommerce storefront has to handle live, formula-based pricing for a configured product and hand the resulting order straight to production. A normal store just processes a transaction for something already sitting in a warehouse.
- How much does custom manufacturing software cost?
TimberCloud starts at $199/month (Commerce) and scales to $549/month (Build) and $1,299/month (Production), with custom Enterprise pricing above that. Every tier includes a 14-day free trial. Full feature breakdown on the pricing page.
- How long does implementation take?
Most shops go live on TimberCloud in 1–2 weeks, loading their catalog and price sheet with the team's help — not the months-long implementations common with legacy manufacturing ERPs.
- Does TimberCloud work for my specific type of shop?
TimberCloud has dedicated setups for cabinet makers, door manufacturers, millwork and trim shops, and custom furniture makers — each built around how that trade configures, prices, and ships.
