Wood Shops

Wood Shops are a mix between a job shop and a manufacturer and as such have very unique needs.  Some wood shops are solely job based where every job is different.  Those shops will never see the same job again.  Other wood manufacturers are just that, manufacturers that make a lot of the same things over and over.   And yet another group is a mixed mode manufacturer, which do some custom work and some repeat.

At the end of the day all of them need great estimating and accurate job costing.  Another hot button for wood shops is realistic scheduling.  They need to be able to run all their jobs through the shop efficiently.

E2 is flexible enough that wood shops are able to get their quotes out fast, schedule their jobs efficiently and track their costs effectively.  At the end of the day they will see exactly which jobs and customers are the most profitable. 

E2 is also a great fit for wood shops when it comes to customers changing quantities and due dates.  Since everything is integrated with E2, any change in the work order automatically updates material requirements and scheduling workload.
