Furniture and interiors, made to measure, on time.

Kitchens, shop fittings, office furniture and project interiors, every order in its own sizes and finish. Frontlink calculates, plans cutting, edging and assembly and shows when an order is ready to install.

One order, its whole route.

In make-to-order manufacturing each order runs its own route past workstations. Follow the numbers: what Frontlink tracks for one order, from routing to delivery date.

  1. 1 / 6The order from your ERP

    Order, quantity, delivery date and routing come from your ERP. Here: 40 frames for Van Dijk Techniek.

  2. 2 / 6Four operations, their own workstations

    Sawing, welding, powder coating, assembly. Each operation can only run on workstations that can do it. Frontlink knows which.

  3. 3 / 6Ready to move on?

    Is the material there, are the workstations capable, does the plan fit? What's missing is shown with the order.

  4. 4 / 6What the floor reports

    Welding is in progress: 26 of 40 counted. Sawing is done. The rest is planned.

  5. 5 / 6Late, and visible

    Welding runs a day over. Frontlink shows the delay and moves the rest of the route along.

  6. 6 / 6Ask Frontlink

    Will we still make Friday? The answer comes from the route and the plan, with a proposal you approve.

What is different in this industry.

  1. Made to measure, every order

    Every order has its own dimensions, materials and finishes. Frontlink turns the order into parts and operations, so the floor knows what to make.

  2. Panels and cutting

    Board material is cut in batches across orders. Frontlink groups the parts per material and thickness for the saw and the CNC.

  3. The installation date is fixed

    The fitters are booked and the shop opens on a set date. Frontlink plans back from that date and shows early when an order is at risk.

What it looks like in practice.

A shop fit-out has to be installed on the 14th. Frontlink shows that the counters are cut, that the cabinets wait for the lacquer line and that the order is ready for transport on the 11th.

Frequently asked questions.

Does Frontlink work with our drawing software?

Parts lists from your drawing or CAD software can be imported per order, so nobody types them again.

Do we see which parts belong to which order?

Yes. Every part gets a label with its order and position, so assembly and installation find the right parts.

Does it plan around installation?

Frontlink plans production back from the installation date and shows when an order is complete and ready for transport.
