Woodworking CPQ built around the products you make.
Grow beyond the sale: connect product configuration and formula pricing to the documents, materials, shipping and accounting workflows your shop needs.
From configured product to work your shop can build
CPQ means configure, price and quote. TimberCloud connects dimensions, materials and options to your pricing rules, then keeps those choices with the customer’s order.
As your shop grows, extend that same order into build documentation, purchasing, inventory and production. Start with a representative cabinet door, drawer box or configurable cabinet and follow it through the workflow your team uses.
What is a product configurator?
It's the part of your site where a customer builds the exact thing they want and gets a real price for it — not a "starting at," not a "contact us," but the price for the product they just spec'd.
For a stocked-goods store, a configurator swaps a color or a size. For a custom shop, it has to do more: hold every option you actually offer, price each combination correctly, and hand you an order you can build from without re-drawing it. That's what an online product configurator built for custom manufacturing looks like — and it's the front door to the rest of the job.
How does formula pricing work?
You price custom work with rules, not a fixed catalog — per linear foot, per box, a multiplier for the material, an add-on for soft-close hardware, a bump for an oversized panel. You set those rules once. The configurator runs the math live, on every option the customer touches.
So a solid-maple door with a glass insert and a custom width prices itself correctly the moment the customer builds it. No pricing spreadsheet open on the side. No "let me get back to you." The number the customer sees is the number you'd have worked out by hand — without you working it out by hand.
Can customers order without the back-and-forth?
Yes. Customers can choose the dimensions, materials and options you offer, see the price calculated from your rules, and place an order through your website.
The selected specifications stay with the order your team receives, reducing the need to copy details out of emails or rebuild a quote for each supported option change. Products outside your configured rules can still need a conversation with your team.
Keep shipping connected to the order
Compare shipping rates, generate labels and track shipments from TimberCloud. For larger woodworking orders, review the LTL booking workflow your shop needs.
Keep the customer’s order and delivery details together as the job moves toward shipment. See current shipping inclusions and add-ons.
Connect configuration to build documentation
With Build Sheets & CAM, use configured product data to generate supported cut sheets and design exports, including DXF. Outputs depend on the product rules and setup.
Test a representative order and its exported files with your design software and machinery. Confirm any engineering, nesting or machine-specific processing your workflow still requires.
Add the tools your team needs
Choose operational add-ons around your workflow, including Production / Shop Floor, Purchasing, Inventory & Warehouses and Reporting.
Add users as your team grows and configure access for the work they do. Compare current user and add-on pricing before choosing your setup.
Visual Configurator included
Show customers exactly what they're buying before you build it. The Visual Configurator renders 3D models of cabinets, built-ins, and furniture from your specifications.
Customers can adjust finishes, hardware, and dimensions in real-time. Changes update pricing automatically. Fewer revisions, clearer expectations, faster approvals.
Generate accurate quotes from the visual models. What the customer sees matches what you build.
Does it work for doors, cabinets, millwork, and furniture?
Define the options and pricing rules for the products your shop makes:
- Cabinet shops: box construction, door styles, finishes, hardware and dimensions.
- Cabinet door and component manufacturers: species, profiles, panel layouts and sizing.
- Millwork and trim shops: profiles, materials, run lengths and custom specifications.
- Custom furniture makers: dimensions, materials and finish options.
Start with a representative product and test its configuration, price and resulting order before expanding the catalog.
Keep the office and the shop working from the order
Configure → Price → Order → Build → Stock → Ship. The customer’s selections stay connected as the job moves beyond checkout.
Use configured product rules for supported build sheets and cut lists, coordinate material purchasing and receiving, and track the work through your stations. Keep shipment details with the order as it moves toward delivery.
Connect the financial side with QuickBooks Online
Send invoiced orders, payments, credits and refunds to QuickBooks Online, and view QuickBooks Profit & Loss in TimberCloud Reports. Keep production and accounting connected while your team reviews the work and the numbers.
Explore end-to-end production management and review current tools and pricing.
How is this different from Shopify plus a spreadsheet?
A generic store configurator is built for stocked products — it changes a variant and charges a set price. Custom shops end up patching around it: Shopify for the storefront, a separate tool for production, a shipping app, and a pricing spreadsheet holding it all together. Every handoff is a place to re-type the order and introduce an error.
TimberCloud puts the custom configurator, the pricing, the order, the build, and the shipment on one record. Build custom, sell it online, and watch it move — without the stack.
