Custom software for office furniture installation planning
Appfront builds software for office fit-out companies and suppliers of office furniture who schedule installation crews: installation days and work per floor for each project, crews and fitters with their skills, vans and tools, subcontractors in the same schedule, and an installation day that is only confirmed once the delivery is in. So crews don't turn up to an empty floor, specialist work goes to the right fitter, and an overrunning project doesn't derail the rest of the week.
What is installation scheduling software for office furniture?
An office fit-out company installs furniture with its own installation crews and often with subcontractors. A project spanning a few floors needs several crews over several days, with specialist work such as electrifying desks, acoustic partitions or cabinet walls. Meanwhile other projects are running. Installation scheduling software allocates crews, fitters and vans across projects and days, and takes into account what has been delivered.
Without such software, the schedule lives on a whiteboard. A fitter with the right skill ends up double-booked. A crew is ready for a floor where the desks haven't arrived. A project that overruns pushes the next day back, and the planner spends the whole afternoon on the phone straightening out the week. Subcontractors sit on a separate list, apart from everyone else.
We build custom software because the planning has to fit your business: how your crews are put together, which skills matter, which subcontractors you work with, how you track deliveries, and which systems you use for projects, installation orders and hours. Installation planning for a carpentry firm is similar, but the dependency on deliveries from many manufacturers is different for office furniture.
Crew per project
Crews and fitters per project and per day, with skills, vans and tools, so the right work reaches the right people.
Only once it's in
An installation day is only confirmed once the delivery is in, and moves along if a delivery or the build falls behind.
Subcontractors included
Subcontractors with their availability in the same schedule as your own crews.
How we build your installation scheduling software for office furniture
We start with a busy week: how many projects, crews and subcontractors you have, and what went wrong during the last overrun.
Your crews, fitters and skills, subcontractors, projects and the way you handle deliveries.
A weekly planning board with projects, crews, fitters, vans and subcontractors.
Installation days linked to deliveries and construction progress, and the knock-on effects of overruns.
Day assignments sent to fitters, integration with installation slips and hours, followed by ongoing management.
What installation scheduling software for office furniture actually does
The components below come up for almost every office fit-out company. Which ones you need depends on the number of crews and projects.
Planning board
Projects and crews per day and week, easy to move around.
Skills
Per fitter, whatever they can do, so specialist work is well distributed.
Products
Vans, lifts and tools per project and per day.
Subcontractors
Availability and deployment of subcontractors within the same schedule.
Deliveries
Installation days linked to what has arrived on site, with an alert when deliveries are missing.
Day assignment
Per fitter, the day's assignment, with address, floor and work package.
Who we build office furniture installation planning software for
The software is intended for companies that install office furniture with multiple crews.
Office fit-out companies
Large projects with multiple crews. The planning board and deliveries are the core.
Office furniture dealers
Many small deliveries with installation. Daily assignments matter most.
Installation firms
Installation for multiple interior fitters. Subcontractors and skills are what is needed.
Interior fitters in education and care
Installation in buildings that are in use. Time windows and overruns are the core.

Why Appfront for your office furniture installation planning software?
A crew on an empty floor costs a day. We build on that: the right people on the right work, installation only once the delivery is in, and a schedule that adjusts as things change.
No empty floors
An installation day depends on the delivery. What has not arrived is not scheduled.
The right fitter
Specialist work goes to whoever can do it. Double bookings stand out.
Overruns absorbed
A project that overruns shows which days shift and which crews become free.
Security and privacy in office furniture installation planning software
The software holds projects, addresses, schedules and data on fitters and subcontractors. Access is set per role: the planner plans, fitters see their own daily assignments, and subcontractors see only their own deployment.
The software runs in a European data centre, with encrypted storage and daily backups. Daily assignments work on the phone, even with poor reception.
Frequently asked questions about office furniture installation planning software
Questions office fit-out companies ask before getting started.
It plans crews, fitters, vans and subcontractors across projects and days, takes skills and deliveries into account, shows the effects of overruns, and sends daily assignments to fitters.
Project delivery handles the logistics: orders, receipt and deliveries. Installation planning handles the people: which crew installs where and when. The planning waits for the delivery, so the two line up.
Yes. Subcontractors appear in the same planning with their availability, and receive their own daily assignments if you wish.
Each fitter's abilities are recorded, such as electrical work or acoustic partitions. The planning shows if work lands with someone who lacks that skill.
The software shows which installation days and crews are pushed back, so the planner can move work or deploy a subcontractor.
Yes. The daily assignment becomes the basis for the on-site installation docket, and the completion sign-off flows back into the planning.
Ask that first. A general tool is enough for a handful of fitters. Custom development makes sense when deliveries and skills determine what can be done, when subcontractors are involved, or when overruns often disrupt the week.
Teams that fit as soon as the delivery arrives?
