| Cabinet design — industry-specific CAD/CAM (made-to-order) | Cabinet Vision (Hexagon), SmartCabinet, SWOOD (on SOLIDWORKS, TEKYAZ), Polyboard, imos iX, HOMAG iX (formerly woodCAD|CAM), Microvellum | Strong for parametric cabinet/kitchen/wardrobe/door design, 3D models, photorealistic visuals, automatic part/cutting lists and cost/quote output; Cabinet Vision and SmartCabinet also handle sheet optimisation internally. Widely sold through local resellers. But the BOM and cost data they produce rarely flows into the ERP automatically — it is carried across by hand. |
| CNC nesting / toolpath and machine programming | AlphaCAM + xNesting (Hexagon), Biesse bSolid / bNest, HOMAG woodWOP (+ CAM Plugin), imos iX CAM, SCM Maestro | Effective for panel nesting, 3/4/5-axis toolpaths, G-code generation and simulation; edge banding and drilling/dowel operations are programmed at this layer too. Usually tied to the machine brand (Biesse/Homag/SCM); in multi-brand workshops AlphaCAM acts as the bridge. It cannot feed production progress and OEE back to the ERP/MES. |
| Sheet/profile cutting optimisation (waste-minimising) — standalone tools | OptiCut, KopEksper / KopEksperPro (notasyon.com), SmartCut (smartcut.pro), PanelOptimizer.Pro / OptiPanel2D, Korutaş OptiCutter | Practical for waste-minimising cutting plans on MDF/chipboard/laminate sheets and profiles; popular with small and mid-size producers thanks to Turkish-language interfaces and low cost. They work from Excel cutlists and integrate poorly with ERP and CNC; data is mostly entered manually, creating duplicate records. |
| General / local ERP and accounting (financial + commercial backbone) | Logo (Tiger/GO) and Logo Netsis 3 / Wings, Mikro, DİA, ETA, Nebim, CanIAS, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central | Solid for receivables/invoicing/stock/accounting, e-Fatura/e-İrsaliye (Türkiye's e-invoice and e-dispatch), purchasing and basic production. Their standard production modules cannot handle furniture's variant, made-to-order BOM depth, so they are usually synchronised with the CAD/CAM side by hand in Excel. |
| Industry-specific / flexible-BOM production ERP and MRP | Korgün ERP (dynamic/variant BOM), Login ERP (formula-driven dynamic BOM), A Yazılım Furniture ERP (barcoded dispatch), Aaro, Skala MRP, Borm (BormConnect with HOMAG) | These aim to manage the variant explosion with a single master model plus a formula-driven dynamic BOM, to automate order-based BOMs/work orders and to handle barcoded flat-pack dispatch. It is the layer closest to furniture's 'every order is different' problem; but in most firms it has to be added alongside the existing Logo/Mikro backbone rather than replace it, and customised to the shop floor. |
| MES / shop-floor data collection / traceability and machine integration | Atahan Otomasyon solutions, Skala MES, İletişim Yazılım traceability, CNC job-card barcodes / label stations | Valuable for live data from the production line (which machine, which operator, which BOM), process tracking via card/part barcodes, poka-yoke, quality and performance reporting. Still rare in furniture; most producers run on paper work orders and verbal tracking, so part traceability falls into the gap. |
| B2B dealer ordering, digital catalogue/configurator and e-commerce/e-export | serB2B, OrtakB2B, B2B Store, IdeaSoft / Shopify (B2B), project-based 3D kitchen configurators | Useful for dealer-priced order portals, digital catalogues and configurators where the customer enters dimensions and designs online; in export, the İnegöl model is the reference. serB2B and its peers claim integration with Logo/Netsis/Mikro/Nebim/ETA/SAP, but orders from the portal are rarely linked to production/CAD data — they are re-keyed in the workshop. |
