Closet and garage dealer software
A closet or garage organization dealer sells manufactured systems the way a cabinet dealer sells kitchens: a manufacturer's list price, your margin, a homeowner's budget and a crew at the door. The part between the approved quote and the last payment — the order, the boxes counted one by one, the install and the punch list — is what Cabinet Project runs.
Who this page is for, honestly
- A good fit: dealers and franchises that sell manufactured closet, pantry, laundry, mudroom or garage cabinet systems, quote them at a dealer multiplier from a price list and install with their own crew or a subcontractor.
- Not the target: shops that manufacture their own systems from panel (CNC programs are out of scope), and anyone who needs a closet-specific drawing tool — Cabinet Project's layout editor is built for kitchens, not reach-ins or walk-ins.
The job, start to finish
| Step | In Cabinet Project |
|---|---|
| Price list | Import the manufacturer's list from PDF, photo or CSV; review every row |
| Quote | By SKU: list × your multiplier, markup or MSRP, labor lines, sales tax |
| Close | Portal: approval with signature and card deposit |
| Order | PO in PDF or CSV with quantities and finishes, status and ETA; see order tracking |
| Delivery | Box-by-box check with photos and a claim e-mail to the distributor |
| Install and close | Install date, crew routes, sign-off, punch list, final invoice, QuickBooks Online; see install scheduling |
The parts that are the same job
The workflow does not care whether the boxes go in a kitchen, a walk-in or a garage. Your multiplier is a company setting — per company, per manufacturer or per line — and never reaches the customer's PDF or the portal: salespeople see selling prices, only people with the pricing permission see cost. Panels and shelves arrive damaged the same way cabinet doors do, so the delivery check counts every box with photos and sends the claim to the distributor. The crew gets routes, the customer signs off on the phone, the punch list closes the job and the invoice syncs to QuickBooks Online.
What you will not find
- No closet design tool. The layout editor draws kitchens — walls, openings, appliances and cabinet SKUs — with plan, elevation and 3D. A closet or garage job skips the drawing and is quoted straight from the loaded price list.
- No closet catalogs kept for you. You load your own manufacturer's price list, or use the smaller public library when your line is there.
- No direct manufacturer ordering. The PO goes out by e-mail as PDF or CSV, the way most distributors receive it.
- No CNC programs. The cut list export belongs to drawn kitchen boxes; shops that cut their own panels need a manufacturing tool.
One account, every kind of job
Most of these dealers do not split the week neatly: a garage job on Monday, a pantry on Wednesday, a laundry room on Friday. Jobs, customers and price lists live in the same company account, so a crew that also installs kitchens uses the same account for both — the dealer pages for RTA cabinet dealers and kitchen showrooms describe that side of the app.
Price
Per company, not per seat: Solo for one person at $59 a month, Team for three at $99, Shop for five, Crew for ten. Every paid plan has the whole workflow and a 14-day trial without a card, and the app runs in English, Spanish and Portuguese — which matters on a US install crew. The whole table is on the pricing section; if you are comparing with a general field-service tool, see Jobber next to Cabinet Project or Housecall Pro next to Cabinet Project.
Questions
Is there a closet design tool inside?
No. The layout editor draws kitchens: walls, openings, appliances and cabinet SKUs like B24 and W3030. A closet or garage job is quoted from the price list you load — SKU lines, labor lines and tax — without a room drawing.
Which closet or garage manufacturers does it work with?
Any one you buy from. You load that manufacturer's price list from the PDF, a photo of the page or a CSV and set your multiplier per manufacturer or per line. There is no direct ordering integration; the order goes out as a PO in PDF or CSV.
Our installers speak Spanish. Do they get their own app?
The same app runs in English, Spanish and Portuguese on phone, tablet and desktop, on every plan.
Does it price by linear foot?
The quote takes SKU lines, labor lines and per-unit items at your prices. The one-tap quick estimate by linear foot is tuned for kitchen base and wall layouts, not for closets.
