Furniture Restoration & Refinishing
Identify the era, then price the honest repair against the honest value.
What the workspace runs
The ERP is not five pages. Every furniture restoration & refinishing workspace inherits the operating spine and adds what this industry actually needs.
Records the ERP keeps
- Piece record: era, maker, materials, joinery, finish
- Condition report with structural and cosmetic findings
- Repair plan with hours by stage
- Finish schedule: strip, repair, stain, topcoat
- Before/after portfolio with provenance notes
Workflows it ships with
- Photo intake → era identification → value-aware repair plan
- Staged work order through strip, repair, and finish
- Appraisal referral when a piece exceeds shop scope
- Portfolio publishing that drives the next commission
Integrations wired first
- Appraisal networks
- Finish and hardware suppliers
- Stripe
The four numbers the owner checks
- Revenue per bench-hour
- Quote-to-commission conversion
- Work-in-progress aging
- Referral share from designers and dealers
Vision layer
Photo identification of era, joinery, and finish system produces a repair plan and a value-aware recommendation.
/// Underneath every workspace
The part that is the same for everyone
The industry configuration sits on top of a platform that captures what you touch, indexes it without being told how, answers questions about it in plain language, and runs agents against it while you are doing something else. The same index holds the things in your week that are not business at all.
The second brain
Everything you touch gets captured, indexed and recallable in plain language, so remembering stops being a job you do.
- Put it in once
- The index builds itself
- Ask instead of search
- Decisions outlive the chat
- A briefing, not a dashboard
The connectors
Your mail, calendar, phone, files and logged-in accounts feed the same context. Nothing has to be re-entered to count.
- Mail, calendar and drive
- Forward it and forget it
- Your logged-in accounts, connected
- Calls and texts in the same record
- An API you can point anything at
- Bring your own assistantbuilding
The workforce
Agents that keep working when you close the laptop, on models you choose, with every step visible.
- Work that continues without you
- Your context is not one vendor's asset
- You can see what the agent is doing
The business
A CRM remembers people. This books the job, dispatches it, documents it, invoices it and settles it.
- Book it, dispatch it, prove it happened
- Get paid on the same record
- Marketing that reads your own records
- A site and a domain that stay yours
- It arrives already knowing your industry
- Everyone who touched the deal is on the record
The other half of your week
The obligations that are not business are still obligations. They belong in the same index, on the same calendar, out of your head.
- Your documents get the same index
- Nothing with a due date lives in your head
- One workspace, business and personal kept apart
- Hand the recurring parts to an agent
Who it is for
Segments
- Owners of inherited and antique pieces
- Interior designers sourcing restored inventory
- Dealers and auction houses preparing lots
What hurts today
- Pieces quoted before anyone opened a joint
- Work in progress sitting in the shop for months uninvoiced
- Refinishing done on pieces that should have been conserved
How it makes money

Brand system
Restorer's voice. Names the joinery, the finish, and the era. Will tell an owner when refinishing destroys value.
