Manufacturing · Door and Window Manufacturer Management Software

Openings from survey to handover, with cut lists, glass, hardware and fitting crews on one sheet.

Run quotations, opening schedules, profile cutting, glass orders, hardware kits, fabrication and installation in one system built for door and window makers. Every opening keeps its measured size, section, colour and glass specification. Its fitting date is tracked from the first survey to the signed handover. The saw, the glazing bench and the crews work from the same sheet. Nobody types a size twice.

  • Section list, colour range and hardware sets keyed in as each job is built
  • Running orders and balances keyed in from the sheets the office keeps
  • Our staff adjust cutting rules whenever you ask

Surveys, quotations, opening schedules, profile cutting, glass orders, hardware kits and installation run together in a system GullySystem configures for door and window makers. Each opening carries its measured size, section, colour, glass specification, hardware set and fitting date. Leftover bar, snags and the balance due sit on that record.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Survey sizes pass through several hands

The surveyor writes a sheet and the office copies it. Then the saw operator copies it a second time. A swapped width and height produces a frame that fits no opening, and the error shows at the site. Rework follows.

Quotations ignore section and glass cost

A price per square metre hides the difference between a plain casement and a tilt and turn with laminated glass. Margin varies with the opening type. Nobody sees it.

Bar offcuts pile up unrecorded

Remnants of aluminium, uPVC and timber sit in racks with no length or colour written down. New bars are cut while a usable piece waits two shelves away. Waste grows.

Glass is cut to sizes that later change

Panes are toughened or laminated to order. When an opening is revised after the order has gone, the processor has already cut the old size.

Hardware is picked from loose bins

A handle for a left-hung door and one for a right-hung door look alike. Kits assembled from memory send wrong sets to site. Returns cost a trip.

Fitting crews work from phone calls

Which openings are ready, which are glazed and which are still on the bench is decided by phone. A crew arrives at a site where half the frames are missing. A wasted day.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Enquiry and survey

    A plan or a request arrives from a builder or homeowner. A surveyor measures each opening, and sizes, photographs and the wall condition are recorded under the customer.

  2. 2

    Quotation

    Each opening is priced from your section, glass, hardware and labour rates. The customer approves, negotiates or drops it. Each revision is kept.

  3. 3

    Cutting and glass order

    The approved schedule becomes cutting lists per bar and a glass order per processor. Reinforcement and gasket quantities are drawn from the same sizes.

  4. 4

    Fabrication and glazing

    Frames are cut, welded or assembled, hardware is fitted and glass units are glazed. Each stage is marked, and a completed frame is labelled by opening number.

  5. 5

    Dispatch and installation

    Frames are loaded against a delivery note. Nothing leaves unlabelled. The crew fits each opening, records it as installed and logs any snag with a photograph.

  6. 6

    Billing and aftercare

    Stage bills or a final invoice follow the openings fitted. Snags close at a rework visit. The handover is signed.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Surveys and opening schedule

Record each opening with type, width, height, colour, glass and hardware set as the surveyor measured it. Photographs and wall notes stay attached. Approved revisions are kept.

Quotations by opening type

Price a casement, a sliding door or a tilt and turn from separate section, glass, hardware and labour rates. Open quotations sit in one list for follow-up.

Profile cutting lists

Generate cut lengths per bar and colour from the approved sizes, with mitre angles and reinforcement lengths. Used bars and returned offcuts update the rack record.

Glass unit ordering

Raise a glass order from the opening sizes, with thickness, coating and toughening noted. Units are ticked off on arrival and breakages are logged against the supplier.

Hardware and gasket kits

Define a kit of hinges, handles, locks, rollers and gasket per opening type and hand. The bench picks one kit and the stock count drops by the same list.

Fabrication stage board

Mark each frame as cut, welded, cleaned, reinforced, glazed and labelled. A board shows which openings wait for glass or hardware. Nothing hides.

Finish and outside coating

Send aluminium sections for anodising or powder coating as a subcontracted process, record the colour and the lot returned, and flag shade differences on arrival.

Installation crews and snags

Assign crews to sites, mark each opening installed and record snags with photographs. The rework visit is scheduled from the open snag list.

Stage billing and receipts

Bill on delivery or as openings are fitted, log advances and receipts, and read each customer’s balance with the longest overdue first.

Warranty and repair log

Keep the opening, profile batch and fitting crew on one record so a later complaint about a seal or a sash is traced to a source.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Lead Management

    Each enquiry keeps its builder, site address and survey photographs, so the surveyor’s sizes and the later quotation attach to one customer record.

  • Estimate/Quotation Management

    A casement, a sliding door and a tilt and turn are priced from separate section, glass and hardware rates, and each revision stays on file.

  • Bill of Materials

    The approved opening schedule expands into bar lengths, reinforcement and gasket quantities, so the saw cuts what the surveyor measured and nothing else.

  • Purchase Order Management

    Glass orders go to the processor from the approved opening sizes, and the order stays open until every unit has been received.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    Hardware kits and finished frames carry labels with the opening number, so the bench and dispatch scan the right set to the right frame.

  • Production Planning

    Frames are queued by stage, and the board shows which openings wait on glass or hardware before the fitting date.

  • Job Work Management

    Aluminium sections sent out for anodising or powder coating are logged out and in against a colour and lot.

  • Technician Scheduling

    Installation crews are assigned to sites, and the rework visit for a snag is placed on the next free crew day.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For the owner

Read orders in hand, openings fitted, glass cost against billing and customer dues without calling the shop floor.

For surveyors and estimators

Capture sizes and photographs on site, then price each opening from the rate list when back at the desk.

For the saw and assembly teams

See today’s cutting lists, the kits to pick and the frames waiting for glass, and mark each stage as it finishes.

For stores

Receive profile bars and glass, issue kits to the bench and record returned offcuts by rack.

For installation crews

Open the day’s openings on a phone, mark each as fitted and log snags before leaving the site.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Openings by stage, with orders late for glass or hardware
  • Profile bars used, offcuts returned and rack stock by section and colour
  • Glass units ordered, received and broken, by processor
  • Hardware kits issued against openings fitted
  • Installation snags open, by crew and site
  • Customer dues with oldest bill first
  • Quotations won and lost, by opening type
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Aluminium window and door fabricators
  • uPVC window makers with a welding and cleaning line
  • Timber joinery shops that make doors and frames to order
  • Firms that make fire-rated or security doors for commercial buildings
  • Fabricators who also install and handle the snag visits
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A joiner who makes a handful of doors a month can work from a drawing pad and a price list.
  • Firms whose main business is stocking ready-made doors for retail will find the retail or trading products closer.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Your sections and colours

Your profile series, stock bar lengths, colours and steel reinforcement are keyed to match the bars on your saw rack.

Opening types and cutting rules

Casement, sliding, tilt and turn and door types carry the cutting allowances and mitre rules that your production lead supplies.

Glass suppliers

Processor lists, glass types and the order format each one expects are set up with your buyer.

Open orders migrated

Your customer list, running orders and unpaid bills are keyed in from the office files, and a few are checked against the paperwork first.

Currency and tax settings

Quotations and invoices follow the currency and tax rules of the country you sell in, reviewed during implementation.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Does one order cover aluminium, uPVC and timber?

Yes. Each opening names its material and section, so a mixed order produces separate cutting lists while the customer sees one quotation and one balance.

How are cutting lengths decided?

Each profile has its own allowance for weld or mitre loss, entered from your section data during set-up. Your production lead reviews the first lists before the saw uses them.

Can we reuse offcuts?

Yes. A returned offcut is recorded with its section, colour and length, and a new cutting list can draw on it before a fresh bar is opened.

What happens when the customer changes an opening after the glass is ordered?

The revision is kept beside the old one, and the glass order for that opening is flagged. The buyer decides whether to amend it with the processor.

Can the coating subcontractor’s work be tracked?

Yes. Sections sent for anodising or powder coating are logged out and in against a colour and lot, so a shade mismatch is raised on return.

Do installers need a laptop?

No. A phone browser is enough to open the day’s openings, mark them fitted and add a snag photograph. It needs a signal to save.

Can it print labels for frames?

Yes. Each frame gets a label with its opening number, order and site position, which the dispatch team scans against the delivery note.

Will it feed the optimiser we already use?

A file of cut lengths can be exported as extra work. In the first workshop we settle the layout your optimiser expects.

Who owns the order history?

You do. Opening schedules and customer records leave in a format fixed in the proposal, before any build begins.

How is it priced and shown?

We do not publish a price, because a ten-person shop and a plant with three lines need quite different set-up. First we show it on opening types taken from your own range.
