Lumber and sheet goods, by the unit you buy
Hardwood by the board foot, trim by the linear foot, plywood and MDF by the sheet, hardware by the box. Each material has its own unit, cost and low-stock warning, so you reorder before a job stalls.

Cabinets, tables, built-ins or small-batch products: TFM Manufacturing keeps count of your lumber, sheet goods and hardware, turns your cut lists into bills of materials, shows what every piece really costs, and keeps orders, deposits and deliveries straight.
Sound familiar?
- You find out you're short two sheets of ¾" ply when the job is already on the bench.
- Lumber prices moved since your last quote, and your margin quietly disappeared.
- Deposits and balances live in a notebook, a spreadsheet and your inbox.
- Nobody's sure which pieces are finished, which are in progress, and which are promised to whom.
TFM Manufacturing fixes that.
Cut lists become bills of materials
Write down what one piece uses once: two sheets of ¾" birch ply, 14 board feet of white oak, hinges and pulls. Every build of that piece takes exactly those materials out of inventory.
Price jobs on real costs
Costs are captured when a build starts, so a table built in spring keeps its real cost after lumber jumps. See price, cost and margin for every product, and how many you need to sell to cover your overhead.
Work orders the whole crew can follow
Start a build for stock or for a customer, see what's in progress, and complete it to put finished pieces on the shelf, already set aside for that customer. Everyone sees who started and finished what.
Orders, deposits and deliveries
Take orders from your website or enter them by hand for phone and in-person sales. Record the deposit and the balance, deliver in parts, handle returns. Order status updates itself.
Books that match the shop
Coming soon to Growth: lumber used, work in progress and finished pieces post to QuickBooks Online automatically, so your accountant sees the same numbers you do.
Our own shop builds hardwood stands, racks and acoustic panels. We track every board through TFM Manufacturing.
Questions from carpenters & woodworkers
Yes, if you build products or jobs from materials you keep in stock. It tracks lumber, sheet goods and hardware, turns cut lists into bills of materials, records builds, and keeps finished pieces and customer orders in step.
Yes. Every material has its own unit, such as board feet, linear feet, sheets, each or boxes, with its own cost and low-stock level.
Add a custom line to an order with its own price. For pieces you make repeatedly, set up a product with a bill of materials so each build uses and costs the right materials automatically.
Yes. Record a deposit when the order comes in and the balance later; the order shows what's been paid and what's still due.
No. It runs the shop side: materials, builds, stock and orders. QuickBooks Online integration is coming soon to the Growth plan.
