What Gantway takes over in cabinet shops
Cabinet shops produce one-offs to measure — every order has its own logic, its own material requirement, its own path through the stations. The promised assembly date is the fixed point every plan has to measure up to.
Measuring as the first step of the order
Measuring is the first task in the order — with a date and an employee. Dimensions and requirements are recorded right on the order, and the workshop steps follow as successors. With a template, this chain is in place for every new order in one click. No note gets lost.

The workshop on one planning board
The digital desk shows all twelve orders across eight zoom levels — from the day overview down to the individual order. Drag & drop on the tablet, utilization via traffic-light color. The master craftsman sees immediately who still has capacity tomorrow.

The workshop on one planning board
Spot conflicts before they get expensive
The conflict engine automatically checks whether two orders claim the same employee or the same station at the same time. Six conflict types, prioritized by urgency, with a proposed solution — no unwelcome bottleneck.

Cost restorations with target and actual
Hours run via the timer on the task directly onto the restoration order. The pre- and post-costing shows you target/actual color-coded — by labor, materials and machine. The surprise at billing is gone.

Schedule specialists deliberately
Restorer, fine carver, finishing expert: not everyone can do everything. When assigning tasks, Gantway automatically checks whether the necessary qualifications are present — and warns before the wrong employee is scheduled.

Bundle materials across all orders
No batch order has the same material requirement. Gantway combines the open ordering needs of all active orders. You see one list, order once — and the saw runs without interruption.

Is Gantway a fit for your business?
Gantway makes particular sense if …
- You produce one-offs to measure — furniture, doors, interior fit-out, restoration.
- A dozen orders run through workbench, panel saw, sanding room and finishing room at the same time.
- Several times a week a measuring tour brings new data into the workshop.
- The promised assembly date at the customer is the fixed point of your planning.
- Measuring notes, workshop status and assembly date never come together in one picture today.
Frequently asked questions
Which software helps a cabinet shop commit to delivery dates reliably?
In Gantway every task knows its predecessors. When a work step shifts, dependent dates recalculate on their own — and whatever no longer fits, the conflict engine reports immediately, with a suggested solution. You see whether a date holds before you commit to it.
The conflict engine in detail →Is production planning worth it for a cabinet shop with 10 employees?
Yes — Gantway is built precisely for businesses between 5 and 50 people: outgrown Excel and shouted instructions, but too small for heavy ERP. You start with orders and capacity and add materials, time tracking and costing when you are ready.
Can employees track their hours right in the workshop?
Yes. The digital time clock runs in the browser — including on a tablet or smartphone at the workbench — and checks working-time rules when clocking out. For hours per order, the employee starts the timer on the task; on the Premium plan they feed into post-costing.
Time tracking in detail →What does Gantway cost for a cabinet shop?
Three plans, tiered by active accounts — people you only schedule cost nothing. Test free for 14 days without a credit card; after that pay monthly or annually.
See pricing →Where is our data stored — and can we get it back?
Data is stored on servers in Germany, GDPR-compliant with a data processing agreement. Orders, master data and working times can be exported as CSV at any time — and for 30 days after you cancel.
