Custom software for carpentry companies
Carpentry companies work between the workshop and the install site, with timber take-off, cutting lists and crane scheduling that rarely share data. SapAngel builds custom software around Mind, tailored to traditional and industrial carpentry.
Frictions we see in carpentry operations
- Timber take-off and quotes are recalculated manually for each species, section and work item.
- Cutting lists are generated in CAD tools but not linked to workshop production tracking.
- Crane scheduling, install crews and site diaries are managed separately from workshop status.
- Timber and hardware procurement is reconciled against invoices after the fact.
- Progress invoicing, retention and reverse-charge VAT are recalculated by hand for each situation.
What Mind covers for carpentry
- Timber take-off & quotes: library of species and sections, volume calculation, margins per work item.
- Plans & cutting lists: generated cutting lists, links to Cadwork / SEMA / Dietrich's, off-cut optimisation.
- Workshop tracking: work orders, cutting progress, part marking, ready to load.
- Install site: crane scheduling, install crews, site diary, photos, client handover.
- Timber & hardware procurement: sawmill orders, connectors, fasteners, receipts, invoice matching.
- Progress invoicing: progress, retention, reverse-charge VAT, automatic reminders.

What a dedicated software changes
Fewer take-off errors
Volumes and margins per work item calculated from a shared species and section library.
Less off-cut waste
Cutting list optimisation reduces material loss compared with manual planning.
Connected workshop and site
Cutting progress and crane scheduling visible from the same system.
Faster progress invoicing
Retention and reverse-charge VAT handled automatically, with reminders.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does it connect to Cadwork, SEMA or Dietrich's?
Yes, plans and cutting lists are designed to link with Cadwork, SEMA and Dietrich's, with off-cut optimisation, rather than duplicating your CAD work.
Can it manage both workshop and install-site tracking?
Yes, workshop tracking covers work orders, cutting progress and part marking, while the install-site module covers crane scheduling, crews, site diary and client handover.
How is progress invoicing handled?
Progress percentage, retention and reverse-charge VAT are calculated automatically, with reminders, matching the billing cycles typical of carpentry contracts.
Does it track timber and hardware procurement?
Yes, sawmill orders, connectors and fasteners are tracked through to receipt and invoice matching, reducing manual reconciliation.
What AI capabilities are available for carpentry?
Pre-filling quotes from architect plans, bills of quantities or photos is the most common use case, added once your take-off data is structured in Mind.
