Custom certificate registration app for the joinery industry
Appfront builds apps for joinery manufacturers and window and door fabricators who need to demonstrate, with every delivery, which certificate and quality mark their products were made under: for each supplied frame, window, door or staircase, the product certificate, performance characteristics such as burglary resistance and airtightness, the labels and the CE marking, and for each project a delivery file that the contractor can add to their own documentation. So that a contractor's request or a question after handover doesn't turn into a search through folders.
What is a certificate registration app for the joinery industry?
Whoever supplies frames, windows, doors or staircases also needs to provide evidence: which certificate or product attestation the product was made under, what performance it delivers, which quality mark it carries and which CE marking applies. Contractors ask for this per project for their own records, and under the Dutch Building Quality Assurance Act (Wet kwaliteitsborging voor het bouwen) it is increasingly required in advance and per element. An attestation registration app links each supplied element to its attestation and builds the file for each project.
Without such an app, attestations sit in a folder with the quality manager, performance data in product sheets, and the link to what was delivered on each project in the head of the site planner. When the contractor asks for the file at handover, someone assembles it from PDFs. Whether the attestation was valid on the date of production, and under which variant the door set fell, has to be worked out after the fact. After a complaint years later, it is even harder.
We build custom solutions because registration has to match your certificates and your production: under which certificates and quality marks you supply, which versions and performance characteristics fall under them, how elements are labelled in production, which ERP holds the deliveries, and what your contractors want in their files. Your quality system monitors the checks in the factory; the delivery file per project is a separate piece of work.
Certificate per element
Each supplied element linked to the attestation or product certificate it was made under, with its validity on the production date and the performance of that variant.
Delivery file per project
A file per project or per delivery containing certificates, performance data, labels, CE marking and maintenance information, in the format the contractor requests.
Retrievable afterwards
For a question after handover or a complaint, each element can be traced back to the certificate it falls under, the version, and when it was made and delivered.
How we build your certificate registration app for the joinery industry
We start with the most recent request from a contractor: what did they ask for, how long did it take to supply it, and what had to be looked up.
Your certificates, product certificates and quality marks, the versions and performance characteristics that fall under them, the labelling in production, and the ERP holding deliveries.
The certificates with validity periods, the versions and their performance characteristics, and the rules that determine which certificate applies to which element.
Elements from production and delivery linked to their attestation, with labels and CE marking, and a check for elements without a link.
Delivery files per project in the format contractors require, requests from contractors and building inspectors, the archive, and ongoing management.
What a certificate registration app for the joinery industry concretely does
The components below come up at almost every joinery manufacturer. Which ones you need depends on your certificates and on what your contractors ask for.
Certificate register
Certificates, product certificates and quality marks with number, issuer, validity and the versions that fall under them, with a warning when they are about to expire.
Performance per version
For each version, performance characteristics such as burglary resistance, airtightness, watertightness and thermal insulation, as recorded in the certificate.
Link per element
Each supplied element from production and ERP linked to its attestation and variant, with production date, label and project.
Delivery dossier
For each project or delivery, we compile a dossier with certificates, performance data, labels, CE marking and maintenance information, as a PDF or in the contractor's format.
Requests
Requests from contractors and building inspectors per project, recording what was asked, what was supplied and when.
Archive
Every delivery is stored with its dossier, searchable by project, address, element or certificate, so you can answer questions after handover.
For whom we build a certificate registration app for the joinery industry
The app is designed for factories that need to provide proof per project and currently compile it from folders and PDFs.
Joinery factories
Frames, windows and doors for residential and commercial construction under certification. The delivery dossier per project is at the heart of it.
Door manufacturers
Doors with performance ratings for burglary resistance and fire resistance. The performance per variant matters most.
Staircases and façade elements
Elements that are made and installed per project. The link per element and the archive are what is needed.
Manufacturers supplying large contractors
Contractors with their own requirements for the dossier. Their requests and the dossier in their format are at the heart of it.

Why choose Appfront for your certificate registration app for the joinery industry?
A good product without evidence is a risk for the contractor. That is what we build on: each element linked to its attestation, and a file ready when it is asked for.
Dossiers without the hunt
The delivery file follows from the link between element and attestation. The contractor receives it at delivery, not after three reminders.
Valid on the production date
For each element it is clear that the certificate was valid when it was made. An expired certificate is flagged before anything is delivered.
Still findable years later
If a question or complaint arises after handover, you can see by address and element which certificate the work was produced under.
Security and privacy for a certificate registration app for the joinery industry
The app holds certificates, product data, project data and addresses. Access is set up by role: the quality manager maintains attestations, site planning makes the links, and sales and contractors see the files for their own projects. Every change to an attestation or link is logged with name and time.
The app runs in a European data centre, with encrypted storage and daily back-ups. Dossiers are kept for as long as your policy and your agreements with contractors require.
Frequently asked questions about a certificate registration app for the joinery industry
Questions joinery factories ask before getting started.
It keeps track of your certificates, product certifications and quality marks, including their performance data, links each delivered element to the certificate it was made under, builds a delivery file per project for the contractor, handles requests from contractors and building inspectors, and stores everything in a searchable way for questions after handover.
Under the Quality Assurance for Construction Act (Wet kwaliteitsborging voor het bouwen), the contractor must demonstrate that the building meets the requirements and hand over a file. For frames, windows and doors, they therefore ask for certificates and product information from the supplier, often per element. The app ensures you can provide that information for each project.
Certificate management under the assessment guideline is about the checks in your factory needed to keep the certificate valid. Attestation registration is about the other side: proving at delivery that this element was made under that certificate. The two belong together and can be linked.
Yes, if your ERP makes projects, deliveries and elements available. The link to the attestation per element is then made automatically based on product and execution, and someone only needs to check what deviates.
As a PDF per project or delivery, or in the format the contractor uses for their own file. Large contractors often have their own portal or structure; the app can deliver a different format for each contractor.
The app flags this well in advance, and if an attestation has expired, new elements that would fall under it are not linked without a warning. Elements made earlier remain linked to the attestation that was valid at the time.
Check this first. A quality system manages certificates and checks, and that is sufficient if contractors ask few questions. Custom development makes sense if you need to demonstrate, per project and per element, under which attest it was delivered, if contractors want files in their own format, or if compiling them currently takes days.
