Why ordering custom doors is different from ordering standard products
When you order a box of hinges or a sheet of panel, the product is what it is. You select it, enter a quantity, and place the order.
Doors do not work that way. Each door in a project is unique. Style, species, finish, dimensions — every variable affects the final product and the price. This is why ordering custom doors has traditionally required a separate quoting process outside of standard procurement workflows.
The result is a two-track system that most woodworking buyers know well: standard products ordered through one channel, custom doors managed through a separate back-and-forth with a sales rep. Slower, more error-prone, and harder to track than it needs to be.
How the ordering process works on Cieblink
When you order custom doors from a supplier on Cieblink Purchases, the configuration is built into the order process itself. No separate quoting step, no waiting for a rep to get back to you.

How pricing is calculated as you configure
As you work through the configuration, the price updates with each selection. The pricing logic reflects the supplier's actual structure:

Why this approach reduces order errors
Most errors in custom door orders happen at the edges of the process. Here is where they typically occur, and what changes on Cieblink:
For buyers managing door schedules across multiple projects, fewer errors means fewer re-orders, fewer production delays, and fewer conversations about what went wrong.
What AI changes about the experience
Most buyers working with custom doors start from a handwritten or spreadsheet door schedule. Cieblink AI reads that schedule and turns it into configured orders automatically, without manual re-entry.
Import a handwritten or digital door list. The AI maps each line to the correct supplier, model, dimensions and finish.
Dimensions are pre-filled from your list. The AI flags anything outside the supplier's production range before the order is placed.
What it means for your day-to-day procurement
The practical implication of having configuration built into the order flow is that custom doors stop being a procurement exception.
Instead of managing standard orders through one channel and door orders through a separate quoting process, everything goes through Cieblink Purchases. Your order history is complete. Your tracking is consistent. Your pricing is confirmed at the time of order, not after the fact.
Order custom doors the same way you order everything else.
