As the leading ERP provider for custom manufacturers, we’re excited to meet with woodworking professionals and show how Frontier ERP can help transform their operations.
From July 22–25 in Las Vegas, the AWFS Fair will bring together over 500 exhibitors and thousands of woodworking professionals eager to explore new tools, learn from top experts, and discover the latest innovations shaping the future of the industry. This year’s event is all about driving change, embracing new ideas, and unlocking smarter workflows — and that’s exactly what Frontier ERP delivers.
What Friedman Is Showcasing at AWFS Fair 2025
Stop by Booth #3870 in the West Hall to explore the features and benefits of Frontier ERP, built for manufacturers in the woodworking industry. Whether you produce custom cabinetry, millwork, furniture, or other made-to-order wood products, Frontier ERP is designed to handle your complex needs.
Here’s what you can expect to see:
1. What’s New in Frontier 4.2
Get an inside look at the latest Frontier ERP upgrade — Version 4.2 — packed with enhancements that further streamline operations, improve visibility, and support growth in manufacturing environments. We’ll walk you through the new user interface updates, expanded reporting capabilities, and productivity tools built to support today’s fast-paced woodworking businesses.
2. Built-In CPQ for Complex Product Configurations
Woodworking manufacturers know how complicated quoting and ordering can get. Frontier ERP includes powerful CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) functionality, purpose-built for complex, configurable products. It makes it easy to generate accurate quotes, prevent configuration errors, and get orders into production faster, whether your sales team is in-house or working through a dealer network.
3. CADFlow: CAD Integration for a Smarter Quoting Process
Frontier ERP’s CADFlow integration streamlines how CAD drawings feed into your ERP system. It connects your design and quoting process so you can generate virtual 3D product images and auto-populate configuration data directly from your CAD models. This not only speeds up quoting but ensures accuracy and consistency across departments — a huge win for custom woodworking projects.
4. Cut Part Processing for Error-Free Cut Programming
Frontier ERP also helps with the shop floor. Its cut part processing feature ensures that CNC programs are generated accurately from configuration data, reducing manual entry and programming errors. With seamless ERP-to-machine integration, your production team can keep moving without delays, and your finished products will meet exact specs every time.
But Wait, There’s More!
Frontier ERP covers more than just quoting and production — it’s a comprehensive solution built for the full manufacturing lifecycle, including:
- Order Management: Track every order from quote to shipment.
- Inventory Control: Maintain the right materials on hand at all times.
- Production Scheduling: Optimize shop floor efficiency.
- Accounting & Financials: Eliminate data silos and get real-time visibility into costs and profitability.
