The Workshop ERP for Woodworkers, Luthier Studios & Custom Furniture Makers
Woodworking studios rarely fit inside rigid retail inventory apps: you sell ready-to-ship small goods on Shopify and Etsy while building multi-week bespoke furniture commissions. Vercos ERP unifies board-foot BOMs, infinite sub-assemblies, and a live commission stopwatch in one platform.
Why Woodworkers, CNC Shops & Custom Furniture Studios Outgrow Spreadsheets & Generic Inventory Apps
Underbilling Custom Commissions by 10+ Hours
Without a live project timer attached to your build stages, hours spent milling rough lumber, glue-ups, sanding between coats, and client revisions disappear out of your hourly rate.
Complex Multi-Level Sub-Assemblies & Kerf Waste
A dining table or cabinet is built from sub-assemblies (tabletop panels, mortised leg assemblies, drawer boxes) plus 15–25% rough-lumber milling and saw-kerf waste that basic trackers cannot model.
Separating Product COGS from Custom Service Revenue at Tax Time
Hybrid shops that sell both catalog products and custom fabrication services need clean separation between inventory COGS and billable labor revenue for IRS Schedule C and CRA T2125.
How Vercos ERP Calculates True Unit COGS: Solid Black Walnut End-Grain Chef Cutting Board (18" × 14" × 2")
Single Board (From a 5-Board Mill & Glue-Up Run)
| Raw Material / Labor / Overhead | Bulk Purchase Unit | Bulk Cost | Fractional Depletion / Unit | Unit Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8/4 FAS Kiln-Dried Black Walnut Lumber | 100 Board-Foot Pack | $1,150.00 ($11.50/bd ft) | 4.40 bd ft (incl. 22% planer/kerf waste) | $50.60 |
| Titebond III Waterproof Wood Glue | 1 Gallon (128 fl oz) | $42.00 ($0.33/fl oz) | 4.5 fl oz | $1.48 |
| Food-Safe Mineral Oil & Beeswax Board Butter | Batch Sub-Assembly (64 oz) | $38.40 ($0.60/oz) | 3.0 oz | $1.80 |
| Stainless Steel Screws + Non-Slip Silicone Bumper Feet | Box of 100 | $28.00 | 4 Feet + 4 Screws | $1.12 |
| Abrasive Sanding Discs (80/120/180/220 Grit) + Planer Knife Wear | Shop Consumables & Tool Wear | Allocated per board | 3 Discs + 0.4h Helical Head Wear | $3.20 |
| Milling, Glue-Up, Drum Sanding & Finishing Labor ($40/hr) | Direct Shop Labor | $40.00/hr | 1.25 hours / board | $50.00 |
Whether you build a batch of 5 cutting boards for Shopify or a $6,500 bespoke walnut dining table on the 5-stage Commission Pipeline, Vercos ERP tracks exact board-feet, nested sub-assemblies, tool depreciation, and billable shop hours.

Woodworking & Furniture ERP Frequently Asked Questions
Can Vercos ERP track lumber in board-feet and sheet goods in square feet?
Yes. Vercos ERP supports board-feet, linear feet, square feet, sheets, and fractional hardware counts alongside fluid ounces and milliliters for finishes and adhesives.
How do custom commissions work when a client pays a 50% deposit upfront?
Our 5-Stage Commission Pipeline includes a dedicated "Deposit Paid" stage, reserves raw materials for the build, tracks your live fabrication hours via the built-in stopwatch, and generates professional invoices directly from the client CRM profile.
