Woodman New Zealand. Michael Bangs who started using the system in the UK in the mid 1980’s found Woodman allowed him and his father to put the pricing information in a format where there was consistency in pricing and importantly finding the desired profit margins required to sustain a business.
About

Woodman is designed for manufacturers of purpose made, timber and panel products. Pre made designs allow fast quoting of even some of the most complicated joinery designs. It is ideal for manufacturers of “one off” items or batches of purpose made products by providing detailed material and labour information for quotations and production orders.
Products

Woodman Estimating uses materials and labour data together with overhead and profit rates to build up product costs and calculate selling prices. These are stored as estimates which can be recalled and reused as required. A priced, illustrated quotation with customer sign-off and personalised accompanying letter is produced.

One-off products can be built up by entering the material codes, quantities, sizes and labour times in accordance with the specification. Data can be entered in whatever form the estimator finds most convenient.
About

Woodman Production generates production jobs and associated production documentation. Orders are processed either by copying items from estimates and modifying item specifications if necessary or by entering data directly.

One–off products can be built up on a component by component basis entering material codes, quantities, sizes and labour times in accordance with the specification.
