| 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. Widespread in Gaziantep through resellers such as Alvar, Fsd Yazılım and Pera3D. 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; thanks to GTO/GSO chamber campaigns, Logo and Mikro are the de facto standard in Gaziantep. 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. |
