How does CuisiAscot buy its doors in 5 minutes instead of a full day?

Patrick Blais, co-owner of CuisiAscot, explains how he cut his door purchasing from a full day to just a few minutes.

Who is CuisiAscot?

CuisiAscot builds custom kitchens and bathrooms with a team of 12, from sales to installation. As co-owner and purchasing manager, Patrick Blais is also on the shop floor as soon as his production runs are launched. “I don't have time to waste,” he says, and saving time is exactly why he turned to Cieblink.

Why does buying doors by email take so long?

By email, every purchase is a back-and-forth: Patrick sends his door list as a PDF, the supplier re-enters the dimensions, then Patrick double-checks every measurement before confirming.

With 10 or 12 doors, it goes quickly. With around forty, the checking drags on. That lost day also pushes back delivery to his customers.

“That's easily a full day lost, and it pulls me away from my job.”

How did Patrick adopt Cieblink?

One of his suppliers, Commonwealth Plywood Distribution, introduced him to Cieblink in 2019. Today, he buys from that supplier and several others on the platform.

He also tried AI import on his own, and his process now comes down to three steps:

Import

the file from his production software into Cieblink

Review

the purchase

Send

directly to the supplier

3 to 5 minutes for about thirty doors

He didn't need any training to get started: “It's simple to do, you don't need to give me a lesson.” And when a question comes up, support follows through: “I've always had good service, and fast service.”

What has changed day to day?

3 out of 4 door purchases on Cieblink

Today, about three out of four door purchases go through Cieblink. For those, he no longer has to double-check every dimension in an email thread: he imports, reviews and sends, then heads back to the shop floor.

“Cieblink saves me a huge amount of time. Working with Cieblink is nothing but positive.”
