Every department at Lighthouse Cabinetry was doing their job well. The problem was the gap between them.
Design would finish their part and move on. Cutting would find out through a phone call or a shared file. If specs had changed since the last Excel version, there was no clean way to know. With 30+ orders running simultaneously, that gap added up fast.
I designed a linear task management system that follows the same flow the team already worked in — Design → Cutting → Assembly → Finishing → Installation. When one department completes their stage, it moves to the next automatically. The receiving team sees current specs immediately. No calls. No file hunting. No second-guessing whether they're looking at the latest version.
This was an MVP — the budget and timeline didn't allow for something more sophisticated. But it replaced something that was genuinely broken for them.
Result: 94% on-time delivery rate. 85% reduction in file setup and intake time.

Lighthouse Cabinetry ran their entire production schedule on Excel. It worked — until someone missed a step and the formulas broke. With 30+ concurrent orders, production managers were spending 30+ minutes manually verifying timelines and making coordination calls every day.
I designed an automated production scheduler to replace it. Each order shows a live view — unique ID, current department, days to completion, finishing date. When a manager drags a project up or down in the queue, the system recalculates all affected timelines instantly. No formulas to maintain. No steps to miss. No calls to make.
The drag-and-drop interaction was a deliberate choice — the team already knew how to reorder priorities in Excel, so it had to feel familiar, just more reliable.
Result: 94% on-time delivery rate. Production managers now trust what they see on screen.

For Lighthouse Cabinetry, a consultation used to mean 20+ minutes of manual Excel formatting before a single cabinet was even discussed. Different rooms meant different files, different fields, and a massive amount of friction.
The sales team was acting as data entry clerks instead of consultants.
The solution wasn't just a "new form"—it was a three-layer configurable architecture designed to move at the speed of a conversation:
Smart Templates: Pre-load the exact fields needed for standard projects (Kitchen vs. Bedroom) in seconds.
Dynamic Feature Sets: Toggle hardware, lighting, or specialized cabinetry on the fly without switching files.
Custom Field Injection: Capture unique, "one-off" job details without breaking the system.
The Result: Sales reps now walk into consultations focused entirely on the customer's vision, not the spreadsheet's rows.
