Why planners use it

  • Start with the flagship cut optimizer, then move into flooring, roofing, pallet, container, and material-cost calculators from the same navigation.
  • Every calculator keeps assumptions visible beside results so waste, cost, and package rounding are easier to review.
  • Local drafts, CSV export, copyable summaries, and print views keep the workflow frontend only while still feeling ready for field use.

What to review before ordering

  • The cut optimizer is a deterministic planning helper. Verify grain direction, defects, clamps, trim allowance, and saw setup before cutting.
  • Kerf and overage are included in the planning math, but real shops should still review the printed list before ordering stock.

A narrow suite for material planning, not operations management

The product focuses on dimensions, units, stock sizes, material quantities, waste, cost estimates, printable reports, CSV export, and browser-only saved drafts.

It intentionally avoids CRM, ERP, invoicing, scheduling, procurement, CAD/CAM, server storage, and account features so the calculators stay fast, transparent, and static-export friendly.

Frequently asked questions

Does the suite upload my project data?

No. The calculators are frontend only. Saved drafts use local browser storage on the device you are using.

Which calculator should I start with?

Use the cut optimizer for sheets, boards, and trim. Use flooring for rooms and boxes, roofing for squares and bundles, and load planning for pallet or container estimates.

Are the estimates guaranteed?

No. They are planning estimates. Verify dimensions, product specifications, jobsite conditions, and purchasing needs before ordering or cutting.
