In the wood companies supply chain management is paramount. Whether in furniture, carpentry or construction, sequence of processes and associated information are very important.
Compared to other industries (automotive, electronics, …), the design and construction of products is much simpler. By cons, because of the variety and multiplicity of options, the information system is more complicated and requires business software. If you buy a car, you can not request a specific size, or you can not choose between open doors or sliding doors. In the furniture or woodwork, you have all these choices.
The problem for these industries is to have a flexible production tool, but above all an information system to monitor the activity of design to installation, through the sale, supply, manufacture and delivery. Therefore, only business software and specific modules (eg 3D configurator) ensure that supply chain.
