To **manage orders for made-to-measure furniture or metalwork**, record site measurements with photos, turn them into drawings and a quote, get customer approval, produce through defined stages and schedule delivery and installation.

In **Jestor**, each custom order carries its measurements, drawings, approvals and production status in one record.

## Why are made-to-measure orders complex?

Every piece is different. Measurements are taken on site, drawings are made by hand and changes are discussed by message.

A wrong measurement or unapproved detail means rework, wasted material and delays.

Customers want to know when installation will happen.

## What problems does order management solve?

- Measurement errors and rework
- Drawings not approved before production
- Changes lost in messages
- Unclear production status
- Installation dates not coordinated

2. **Attach drawings** and calculate the quote.
3. **Get customer approval** of drawings and price.
4. **Move the order** through production stages.
