Your Customers Are Still Phoning In Orders. Your Team Is Still Quoting from Spreadsheets.

If you manufacture kitchen cabinets, doors, worktops, or components, you already know the daily frustrations: customers ringing to check stock levels, sales staff spending hours building quotes manually, orders arriving by email and being re-keyed into your accounts system. Research suggests over half of manufacturers still process orders this way. It works - until it doesn't.

Two Clouds builds bespoke software for kitchen manufacturers across the UK and Ireland. Not off-the-shelf systems that force you to change how you work, but purpose-built applications designed around your specific products, pricing structures, and production workflows. We build quoting systems, trade customer portals, stock management tools, and online payment solutions - all connected to your existing accounts software.

  • Still Building Quotes in Spreadsheets?

    A single cabinet line with options for finish, size, material, hinges, and handles generates hundreds of possible configurations. A bespoke quoting system handles that complexity and reduces turnaround from days to minutes.

  • Trade Customers Calling to Check Stock and Prices?

    Most B2B buyers now expect a self-service portal for ordering and account management. A trade portal lets your customers place orders, check stock, and track deliveries 24/7 - without calling your office.

  • Chasing Payments and Reconciling Invoices Manually?

    When customers can pay against their account online and balances sync automatically with your accounts package, you get paid faster and your finance team stops chasing paperwork.

  • Running Your Business Across Five Disconnected Systems?

    When your ordering process, stock system, and accounts package all operate in isolation, errors multiply. We connect them into one joined-up workflow - Sage, Xero, SAP, or whatever you currently run.

What We Build for Kitchen Manufacturers

We've worked with kitchen unit manufacturers, door producers, and worktop fabricators. These are the systems that make the biggest difference - framed as business outcomes, not feature lists.

Quoting & Pricing Systems

Accurate quotes in minutes, not hours. Handle any configuration of doors, cabinets, worktops, and components - custom dimensions, material options, finishes, volume discounts, and trade-specific pricing tiers - with zero manual calculation.

Self-Service Trade Portals

Your trade customers browse your catalogue, configure made-to-measure products, place orders, and pay online - 24 hours a day, without calling your sales team. Connected to your accounts software for automatic order and stock updates.

Stock & Inventory Management

Real-time visibility of materials and finished goods across your entire operation. Your team and your customers see accurate availability - reducing overselling, wasted phone calls, and last-minute shortages.

Online Payments & Account Balances

Get paid faster. Customers pay against their account online, check their balance, view invoices, and see payment history - from any device. Automatic reconciliation with Sage, Xero, or your existing accounts software.

Customer Account Portals

Give your trade customers access to their order history, invoices, delivery tracking, and statements - without your team having to look anything up. Self-service that reduces inbound calls and improves the customer experience.

Production & Order Tracking

Visibility from order placement through to dispatch. Track what's in production, what's ready, and what's been delivered - in real time across all your sites, with data flowing directly into your accounts system.

All connected to your existing systems - Sage, SAP, Xero, QuickBooks, or whatever you currently run. Integration is built into every solution from the start.

Why Off-the-Shelf Software Falls Short for Kitchen Manufacturers

Your quoting process is unique. Your product configurations are unique. Your trade customer relationships are unique. Your software should be too.

Off-the-Shelf ERP

  • Built for generic manufacturing - not kitchen-specific workflows
  • Typically takes 12–18 months to implement
  • Can cost hundreds of thousands in licensing and customisation
  • Still requires extensive modification to fit your processes
  • Per-user licence fees that grow as your team grows
  • You adapt your business to the software, not the other way around

Two Clouds Bespoke

  • Built specifically for how your business works - your products, your pricing, your workflows
  • First working system live in weeks, not months
  • You own the software outright - no vendor lock-in or ongoing licence fees
  • Integrates with what you already have - Sage, SAP, Xero
  • Scales as you grow - new sites, new product lines, new capabilities
  • Delivered in phases, with regular demos - no disruptive “big bang” launch

Every project is delivered in phases - you see working software early and give feedback throughout. No surprises, no disruption to daily operations. Learn more about our bespoke ERP approach.

Across the Kitchen Manufacturing Industry

We've built software for different types of kitchen manufacturer. The specific challenges vary, but the core problems - manual quoting, disconnected systems, and customers who can't self-serve - are the same.

  • Kitchen cabinet & unit manufacturers - Flat-pack and bespoke fitted kitchens. Ordering, production, and carcass configuration.
  • Kitchen door manufacturers - Timber, painted, vinyl wrapped, acrylic. Made-to-order with configure-price-quote.
  • Worktop manufacturers & fabricators - Laminate, solid surface, quartz, granite. Cut-to-size quoting and fabrication tracking.
  • Kitchen component suppliers - Hinges, drawer systems, handles, accessories. High-SKU catalogues with trade pricing.
  • Bespoke & fitted kitchen companies - End-to-end from enquiry through ordering, production, and installation.

How We Work With Kitchen Manufacturers

We don't just build software - we learn your business first. Every kitchen manufacturer operates differently, and the software should reflect that.

01
Understand Your Operation

We visit your factory, showroom, or office. We learn how orders come in, how products are configured, how quotes are built, and where the bottlenecks are.

02
Design the Solution

We map out what the system needs to do - your product configurations, pricing rules, integrations, and user workflows. You approve everything before we build.

03
Build & Demo Regularly

You see the software taking shape as we build it. Regular demonstrations mean you can give feedback early and we can adjust before things go too far.

04
Launch & Support

We handle go-live, migrate your data from existing systems, and train your team. Most of our manufacturing clients keep working with us to extend their systems over time.

Staff training is included in every project. Systems are designed for non-technical users - your team shouldn't need an IT background to use the software we build. For a detailed look at our development methodology, visit our Software Development service page.

Why Kitchen Manufacturers Work With Us

There are plenty of software companies and generic development agencies. What makes Two Clouds different is that we already understand your industry. We don't need months to learn how a kitchen manufacturer operates - we've done it, and we're doing it right now.

Kitchen manufacturers are typically founder-run businesses who want to work with people who understand their world - trade accounts, configurable products, seasonal demand, workshop realities. That's us.

  • We already know the workflow - Quote to order to production to dispatch. We've built systems around it.
  • We speak your language - Made-to-measure, trade accounts, bill of materials, SAP integration. No learning curve.
  • More tailored than SaaS, faster than enterprise ERP - The sweet spot between off-the-shelf and enterprise.
  • Long-term partnerships - Our manufacturing clients work with us for years, not months.
  • UK & Ireland based - Belfast-based, working across the UK and Ireland. Face-to-face when it matters.

Case Study

See How We Helped a Kitchen Manufacturer

We rebuilt a legacy ordering system into a modern trade portal with SAP integration - now processing thousands of orders monthly across the UK and Ireland. Self-service ordering, made-to-measure product configuration, and automatic account synchronisation, all in one platform.

Not a Manufacturer?

We also build software for kitchen retailers, showrooms, designers, distributors, and installers. If your business is part of the wider kitchen industry but you don't manufacture products, our broader kitchen industry page may be more relevant.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We build trade ordering portals, quoting and pricing systems, stock management platforms, customer account portals, online payment solutions, production tracking tools, and full operational systems with SAP or Sage integration. Each system is built specifically around how your business works - your products, your pricing, your processes.

It depends on what you need. A focused tool like a quoting system or customer portal might start from a few thousand pounds, while a comprehensive ordering platform with ERP integration and multi-site support will be a larger investment. Unlike off-the-shelf ERP systems, there are no per-user licence fees or forced upgrades. We provide a clear, fixed-price quote after our initial discovery conversation - no surprises.

A focused ordering portal typically takes 8 to 16 weeks from kickoff to first live system. More complex platforms with multiple integrations, made-to-measure product configuration, and multi-site support may take 4 to 6 months. We deliver in phases so you see working software early - not a single launch after months of waiting.
