Running a blinds manufacturing business is rewarding but complex. From handling custom orders to managing fabric rolls, ensuring production deadlines, and keeping customers happy, every stage comes with challenges.

Many blinds manufacturers search for ERP or production software to simplify operations. But generic ERP systems rarely meet the unique needs of a made-to-measure blinds business.

This is where BlindMatrix comes in. Built exclusively for the window blinds and curtains industry, BlindMatrix helps manufacturers gain control, cut waste, and grow profitably.

Below, we answer the most common questions blinds manufacturers ask when looking for software and explain why so many choose BlindMatrix.

Can BlindMatrix track production in the factory?

Yes and this is the number one reason manufacturers choose BlindMatrix.

Production is the heartbeat of your business. If one step is delayed or a blind goes missing, deadlines are missed, and customers complain.

With BlindMatrix, every blind is tracked in real time:

• Barcode scanning follows each blind through cutting, sewing, assembly, and quality check
• You can see bottlenecks instantly (e.g., delays in sewing)
• Supervisors know exactly where every order is at any moment
• Error rates and reworks drop dramatically

Instead of chasing lost orders, you have full visibility from start to finish. And with live production dashboards, visibility exists at every level.

• Managers gain real-time insights into staff performance.
• Employees can track their own progress and spot problems before they arise.

This dual transparency not only improves accountability but also ensures smoother operations, fewer disruptions, and happier customers.

How does BlindMatrix improve stock and material management?

Stock mismanagement is a hidden profit killer. One missing fabric roll can stop an entire production line.

BlindMatrix fixes this with:

• Automatic stock deduction as soon as an order is created
• Automate reordering when stock reaches its limit
• Multi-warehouse management if you run more than one factory or storage site
• Check required raw materials to manufacture an item through the BOM (Bill of Materials), preventing stockouts or overstocks

No more manual spreadsheets or costly “out of stock” delays.

Why do blinds manufacturers choose BlindMatrix over other ERP software?

Because BlindMatrix is:

• Industry-specific — built for blinds, curtains, and shutters
• Proven worldwide — trusted by thousands of manufacturers and retailers
• User-friendly — office, sales, and factory staff can use it with minimal training
• Continuously improving — updates are based on real customer feedback

Is BlindMatrix suitable for small workshops as well as large manufacturers?

Yes. Whether you’re making 50 blinds a week or 5,000, BlindMatrix adapts to your scale. Smaller businesses appreciate automation, while large factories value the production tracking and reporting power.

BlindMatrix grows with you. So, you don’t need to switch systems as you expand.

How does BlindMatrix help with enquiries and quotations?

Speed matters in sales. If you take too long to send a quote, your customer may already have bought from a competitor.
With BlindMatrix:

• Enquiries from the website or social media are automatically added to BlindMatrix CRM. You can also set up automated follow-up tasks for them.
• Sales teams can create instant quotations using built-in product pricing rules.
• Quotes can be generated with a complete product description, including product images, and a built-in ‘Pay Now’ option
• Quotes convert into orders with one click, avoiding data re-entry

Faster responses mean more won enquiries and fewer lost opportunities.

Will BlindMatrix help me grow my business, not just manage it?

Definitely. Managing operations is just the start. BlindMatrix also provides growth tools: 

• Business intelligence reports to see which products and customers are most profitable 
• Marketing tools to follow up on old enquiries and run promotions 
• Automate routine tasks so your business can focus on real growth instead of getting bogged down by manual work 
• Scalability from small workshops to national factories 

Many of our customers started with a single site and used BlindMatrix to grow into multi-location operations.

Can BlindMatrix integrate with my accounting and CRM systems?

Yes. BlindMatrix integrates with popular accounting tools such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. It also includes built-in CRM functionality:

• Lead management
• Order management
• Follow-up reminders
• Task & activity tracking
• Smart scheduling
• Quote management
• Email & SMS management
• Reporting & analytics
• Customer communication history

This means your sales, operations, and finance teams are always on the same page.

Does BlindMatrix help with dispatch and delivery?

Yes — dispatch is often the last step manufacturers overlook, but it directly impacts customer satisfaction.

BlindMatrix makes dispatch stress-free by:

• Generating barcodes, and labels automatically
• Organising orders by status: ready to dispatch, dispatched, delivered
• Allowing you to send accurate delivery updates to retailers and customers
• Reducing the risk of sending the wrong blind or missing an item in a batch

This builds trust with your customers and reduces after-sales complaints.
