Setup Guide: Carpentry / Workshop

Configure your Carpentry / Workshop hub from scratch using the ERPlora AI Assistant. All commands below are sent to the Assistant at /m/assistant/.

Step 1 — Describe your business

Send this as your first message to the AI Assistant:

Hi! I have a carpentry workshop in Ghent, Belgium. It's called "Artisan Timber Craft". We make bespoke furniture, kitchens, doors, and staircases. We work with custom quotes, material lists, and handle installation. I need to set up the full system.

The assistant will detect your business type and install the right modules. The hub will restart (1-2 min).

Step 2 — Configure everything

After restart, send this complete configuration message:

Perfect, modules are installed. Please configure everything:

• Manage production orders with work phases (cutting, sanding, finishing, assembly)
• Track timber and hardware stock with automatic replenishment
• Coordinate delivery and installation with the client

The manufacturing module allows generating the exact material cutting list before starting production.
