Ostendo Continuum ERP is purpose-built to meet the unique challenges of aluminium joinery production, giving manufacturers complete visibility and control from quote to cash.

Industry Challenges in Aluminium Joinery Manufacturing

Aluminium joinery producers face a unique mix of manufacturing and project-based complexity:

Highly customised products with variable sizes, finishes, and configurations
Rapid quoting and revisions for builders, architects, and developers
Tight project deadlines and staged deliveries
Complex bills of materials for frames, glazing, hardware, seals, and fixings
Offcuts, wastage, and yield optimisation
Compliance with Australian Standards and building codes
Installation scheduling, site coordination, and after-sales service
