Since 2005 StairBiz has revolutionised the way we do business, automating the quotation and manufacturing processes. StairBiz staff provided excellent support and advice - we had an efficient and supported transfer from a paper based to a computer based business.

 

StairBiz allows us to standardise margin, component costings and overheads into all our quotes to produce accurate and consistent pricing. The program enabled us to produce professional drawings to accompany the quote, and allowing the customer and our manufacturing team to accurately visualise the quoted stair. StairBiz also allows us to give our customers multiple design options and materials at the press of a button, making quotation options quick and easy to produce. Linking StairBiz to the manufacturing plant has allowed the seamless transfer of information between the office and the factory floor. Component requirement lists are generated for the manufacturing phase, a process that until StairBiz was all completed by multiple paper quote sheets. We have linked StairBiz to a Biesse Rover BCNC Router which allows jobs to be sent directly from the office to the router for machining.

 

StairBiz consistently provided excellent training and support to our largely technologically illiterate workforce.

StairBiz is now an integral part of our business and it is fair to say that we could not do business now without the efficiency and control this software delivers.

Meadowvale was a small company with 7 employees specializing in stair manufacturing. We had never used CNC for our staircases and were depending solely on highly skilled, highly paid labour, and naturally we were becoming less competitive because of this.

 

So we looked at CNC using stair programs for our production, and all seemed pretty complicated for someone who had little or no knowledge of CNC and little computer experience. By chance we came across StairBiz. At first I thought this was too good to be true, so the guys from StairBiz set up a trial for us. I was so impressed with the simplicity of the program and the quality of the graphics - never mind pricing, shop drawings, cut lists, etc. We had it installed, and literally within hours (not days) we were producing stairs on our CNC from simple to elaborate to curved. The capabilities are endless, and when customers can see their staircase in 3D they are so impressed and a sale is so much easier.

In short, StairBiz halved our production time and doubled our profits. It’s a truly incredible ‘must have’ program with backup second to none. So a big thank you to John and Darrin at StairBiz. Keep up the good work.

We have been using StairBiz for over 10 years. From day one I harnessed it to be our central program for job management, and expanded from there. I have had excellent support from the developers who have continued to this day to shape the program to today’s varied markets. Currently we are using 24 licenses of StairBiz to complete all my quotations both on-site and off-site, all shop drawings for production, CNC files for the routers, specialized custom sheets which give me my own unique and professional look, not to mention a complete scheduling program which makes installing 70-80 custom staircases per week very easy.

I have had the opportunity over the years to visit many staircase companies throughout Australia, Europe and America. It confuses me to see how many of them feel the need to use multiple different programs to drive their business. These include stair manufacturing programs like [name withheld] and [name withheld] where I am amazed by the apparent difficulty in operation and the lack of flow and freedom to complete what you need to do. StairBiz has allowed me to expand my business ten-fold over the years and keep everything very manageable. The ease of operation of StairBiz is second to none. I have employees who struggle on normal computer programs but shine in their operation of StairBiz. Put the time in during the initial installation of the program to load it your way - it will be the best investment you can ever make for your business. To the team at StairBiz – thank you so much for this program. If anyone needs any reference for StairBiz I would be happy to answer your questions.

Our sales team required assistance in increasing sales and were looking for a system to help produce more quotes in less time. Researching tools available, we found StairBiz, but were unsure if this software would help. After an initial trial period we discovered StairBiz would offer more than just an increase in our quoting – it would change the way we processed our quotes and the way we implemented those sales into manufacture.

 

Our firm purchased StairBiz in 2001, with an initial set up period of two weeks (setting default pricing for materials & labor, then checking those costing back to our old system). We then implemented the new software. This was a simple process, with our sales team finding the transition from old to new quite easy and without any problems. StairBiz has many dimensions and each manufacturer will find a part of StairBiz to be exactly what they need. Like all great products on the market, the better it gets, the more you want, and I have always found the team at StairBiz open to ideas on the direction of the product, implementing design changes to help our industry.

We found StairBiz easy to learn to use and implement. The product is quite powerful and has many additional features which we only came to notice after installation.The support and staff at StairBiz are most helpful and easily contactable.

We swapped to Stairbiz about two years ago as our previous software was difficult to operate and the support was poor. We had a day’s training and were up and running. Its very easy to use. The software is very adaptable and able to process most designs quickly. Every day you learn something new - its a pleasure to operate. The support and back up is excellent, you get regular updates, and more importantly suggestions for improvements are listen to and acted on very quickly. I would be happy to recommend stairbiz.

StairBiz makes the rod board a thing of the past. The hours of drawing are now over. Pricing is so easy - you can calculate stairs with confidence knowing to the last penny how much they will cost. StairBiz is very professional when designing stairs with customers present or just as easy to take a laptop onto the site and design it there. I used to dread making stairs but now enjoy the whole possess from start to finish.

 

Russell Pengelly, RJP Joinery

 


In the course of the past few years we have had experience with various stair manufacturing programs. StairBiz is clearly the winner. Since we acquired the program our productivity, the quality of estimation and inventory system, has dramatically improved. Our only regret in regards to StairBiz is that we did not have the opportunity to obtain the program sooner. From our prospective StairBiz is the best stair manufacturing application available on today’s market – strong recommendation.

 

Management, Regional Stairs

 


I have been using StairBiz for six years and love the program. It has cut our layout and quoting time down significantly. Generating multiple stair or rail options is simple and extremely fast. I would highly recommend StairBiz to anyone who wants the ability to increase sales volume, quoting and/or machining accuracy, and your bottom line.
