Architectural door, frame, and hardware distribution comes with unique complexities that generic ERP systems can’t handle. Comsense is purpose-built for this industry, providing a complete view of your projects and orders while simplifying estimating, detailing, project management, and accounting. With integrated tools and access to over 120 electronic price books, Comsense helps you improve accuracy, control costs, and streamline every part of your operation.
How Comsense fits the workflow
Architectural opening distributors typically run a project from architect-drawing review through estimating, detailing, ordering, partial shipments, change orders, and final billing — often across months and multiple ship dates per job. Comsense follows that workflow end-to-end. The estimating module reads architect door schedules and pulls current product and pricing data from 120+ electronic price books. The detailing module generates heading builders, frame elevations, and prep work without re-entry. Project management tracks estimated vs. actual cost on every line so PMs see margin slip before it compounds. AIA billing, MICR check printing, and bank reconciliation close the loop on the accounting side.
The combined result is one system where door schedules, hardware sets, costed material lists, project status, and financials stay in sync — replacing the spreadsheet-and-email patterns that generic distribution ERPs leave distributors stuck with.
