Fire Door Manufacturing Softwarefrom specification to the factory floor

Fire door manufacturing software is the digital platform that turns a doorset specification into a manufactured, costed, quality-controlled product — with a record that survives the journey. It owns the space between fire rated door specification and the moment a doorset leaves the workshop for site.

Most manufacturing tools stop at the factory gate. A doorset is built, a delivery note is raised, and the information that proves what was made is left behind in a spreadsheet or a PDF. Fire door manufacturing software should do more. Every specification decision, every component fitted, every QA check and every cost should become part of a record that follows the door for life — into installation, inspection and the Golden Thread.

That is what Automate is built to do. It is a fire door manufacturing platform, but it is also a complete operating system — so the manufactured door and its evidence arrive on site together, connected, never separated.

Manufacturing a compliant doorset depends on the right components, fitted in the right configuration. The Parts Catalogue holds components, suppliers, certificates and pricing in one place — and tracks certificate expiry dates so nothing slips through the net.

Part Kits bundle the exact components a doorset requires: the hinges, the closer, the lock, the seals, the glazing system. When a door is built, the kit tells the workshop precisely what goes into it — and procurement tells the supplier what to provide.

Purchase orders are generated in one click and emailed to suppliers directly from the platform. Every order stays linked to the job, the project and the door, giving a complete audit trail from procurement through production to installation.

Manufacturing is a business, not just a process. Automate tracks material costs, team time and supplier invoices in real time, so the true margin on every manufactured doorset is visible as it is built — not after the invoice arrives.

Professional, fully itemised quotes are generated in seconds from the Door Builder specification and emailed to clients directly. Role-based access keeps pricing and margins confidential from the workshop and field teams, so commercial data stays protected while production keeps moving.

The quotations register tracks sent, accepted, rejected and expired quotes in one place, so a manufacturer always knows what is in the pipeline and what needs chasing.

A fire door project often begins with a door schedule — a complex document of references, locations, ratings and configurations. Manually re-entering that data into a manufacturing system is slow and error-prone.

Automate's AI-assisted project setup interprets door schedules, references and configurations, turning rows in a spreadsheet into structured door records. You retain ultimate control while the intelligent tools do the heavy lifting — saving hours of data entry and preventing the mistakes that manual parsing introduces.
