ERP, Software and AI Built Around Make-to-Order Furniture
Furniture manufacturing runs on make-to-order and semi-custom work: an order breaks into sub-assemblies, each sub-assembly breaks into components, and finish or material choices multiply variants of the same base design. TCB Infotech builds the tracking that follows an order through that multi-level bill of materials, ties job costing to the specific order, and connects production data to your existing ERP.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
Built Around Make-to-Order Production
A furniture order is not one flat job. It is a structure of sub-assemblies and components, each with its own finish, material and status.
An order tracked through every sub-assembly and component
A single order for a semi-custom piece breaks into sub-assemblies like a carcass, drawers or a base, and each of those breaks into individual components with their own finish and material choices. We build the tracking that follows that structure from the order down to the smallest component, so nothing is tracked as one flat job.
- Multi-level BOM tied to the original order.
- Finish and material variants tracked per component.
- Status visible at every level, not just the order.
Production data that feeds your ERP and flags problems early
The same system that tracks sub-assemblies and components can flag a delayed vendor part, a mismatched finish, or a job running over its costed hours, and pass that data straight into your existing ERP instead of a spreadsheet on the side.
- Job costing tied to actual order data.
- AI flags delays and material mismatches early.
- Everything connects back to your existing ERP.
From Your Current Process to a Running System
Everything Around Your Make-to-Order Process
Make-to-Order BOM Management
Each order's bill of materials is tracked down to sub-assembly and component level, tied back to the specific customer order it belongs to.
Finish & Material Variant Tracking
Finish, veneer, upholstery and hardware choices are tracked as variants of the same base design, not separate one-off items.
Sub-Assembly & Component Tracking
See which sub-assemblies and components are complete, in progress or waiting on a vendor, at any point in the order.
Job Costing by Order
Material, labor and finish costs are tracked against the specific order, so margins are visible job by job, not only at month end.
Vendor & Raw Material Tracking
Raw material and vendor-supplied component status is tracked against the orders waiting on them.
Dispatch & Installation Records
Dispatch and installation details are recorded against the order, closing the loop from cut list to delivered piece.

How TCB Infotech Tracks Furniture Production
From an order's bill of materials to a finished, dispatched piece. Here is how we track make-to-order furniture production alongside your existing ERP.
BOM structure, variants and dispatch, in one record
A bill of materials that mirrors your actual product structure
Every order is broken into its sub-assemblies and components in the system, matching how your shop actually builds the piece rather than a flat parts list.
- Multi-level BOM per order.
- Sub-assembly and component status at a glance.
- Tied back to the original customer order.
Finish, material and hardware choices tracked as variants
The same base design can ship in different veneers, finishes, upholstery and hardware. Each variant is tracked against the order it belongs to, so production and costing stay accurate regardless of how many options a design offers.
- Finish and material options tracked per order.
- No separate item created for every variant.
- Costing reflects the specific variant used.
Delivery and installation closed out against the order
Dispatch and installation records are logged against the order they belong to, so the full history from cut list to delivered piece stays in one place.
- Dispatch details recorded per order.
- Installation notes tied to the same record.
- Full order history in one place, not scattered logs.
Everything Around Your Make-to-Order Process
Make-to-Order BOM Management
Multi-level bills of materials tracked from order to sub-assembly to component, matched to how your shop actually builds each piece.
Finish & Material Variant Tracking
Finish, veneer, upholstery and hardware options tracked as variants of a base design, without creating a new item for every combination.
Sub-Assembly & Component Tracking
Status at every level of the BOM, so you know exactly which sub-assembly or component is holding up an order.
Job Costing by Order
Material, labor and finish costs tracked against the specific order, with margins visible order by order.
Vendor & Raw Material Tracking
Vendor-supplied components and raw material status tracked against the orders waiting on them, so a delay is visible early.
Dispatch & Installation Records
Dispatch and installation details recorded against the order, closing the loop from cut list to delivered, installed piece.
