Inventory Nightmares: How Woodshops Lose Thousands Each Year
Every woodshop owner has seen it: stacks of expensive plywood gathering dust in the corner, boxes of hardware that no one remembers ordering, or the sudden panic when you realize you’ve run out of a critical material right in the middle of production.
Inventory mistakes aren’t just frustrating—they’re costly. Woodshops across the country lose thousands of dollars each year because of poor inventory control. Whether it’s overstocking supplies you don’t need or scrambling to find materials when a job is already in motion, these inefficiencies eat away at profit margins and waste valuable shop time.
The Real Cost of Inventory Chaos
🔨 Exceso de existencias: los materiales permanecen sin uso durante meses o años, lo que limita el flujo de caja y el valioso espacio del taller.
🔨 Falta de existencias: quedarse sin materiales retrasa proyectos, frustra a los clientes y provoca pedidos urgentes de último momento a precios elevados.
🔨 esperdicio y pérdida: los suministros se extravían, se dañan o se olvidan, lo que genera fugas silenciosas de ganancias en su negocio.
🔨 Cuellos de botella en la producción: sin visibilidad, los trabajos se paralizan cuando las piezas o los materiales no están disponibles a tiempo.
Para la mayoría de las tiendas, el problema no es la falta de esfuerzo, sino la dependencia de métodos obsoletos, como portapapeles, pizarras u hojas de cálculo, que no pueden satisfacer las demandas modernas.
Why Spreadsheets Aren´t Enough
Spreadsheets might feel like a simple solution, but they don’t update in real time, can be easily corrupted, and aren’t accessible to everyone on your team. That means your workers don’t know what’s truly in stock until it’s too late.
Worse, spreadsheets don’t connect directly to your projects. So even if you know how much material is in stock, you don’t know if it’s already spoken for by another job. This disconnect creates waste and confusion that no growing woodshop can afford.
