GlazeFlow

Features

Everything between the customer’s front door and the factory floor.

GlazeFlow replaces the survey sheet, the sketch, the re-typed order and the hand-written cutting notes with one connected order that is checked at every step.

01 · capture

Capture it right on site

Everything the office needs, recorded against the unit it belongs to while you are at the property.

Digital site survey

Replace the paper survey sheet with structured measurements, notes and photos, recorded against each window and door.

  • Width and height in millimetres or inches, stored in millimetres
  • Room location, customer requirements and notes per unit
  • Photos taken with the device camera, attached to the unit they show
  • Customer location pinned on a map

Mobile & tablet surveying

Order screens and the designer are built for tablets and phones, so orders can be taken in the customer’s home.

  • Touch-friendly designer with a full-screen configure panel
  • Rear camera capture for site photos
  • Tested at tablet and phone sizes

Customer records

Customer details, contacts, site and billing addresses, map location and notes, with their orders a filter away.

  • Site and billing addresses kept separately
  • Order count per customer
  • Filter the order list by customer

02 · design

Design it so everyone sees the same thing

A drawn, rotatable design replaces the sketch, built from the supplier range you actually fabricate.

Window & door designer

Lay out frames, mullions and transoms, then set every pane. The elevation redraws as you work, with hinge and handle sides marked.

  • Fixed, side hung, top hung, tilt & turn and dummy sashes
  • Door leaves, sliding and folding leaves
  • Mullion and transom positions in millimetres
  • Glazing, colours, hardware and technical options per item

Custom & heritage designs

Shaped frames, glazing bars and the paperwork behind a conservation job — drawn exactly, in 2D and 3D, from millimetres somebody typed.

  • Raked, apex, shoulder, arched and circular heads from a named shape and its sizes
  • Glazing bars by count or at set positions, drawn on the pane they belong to
  • Attach the approved drawing or a photo of the original, and compare it with the design side by side
  • Record the consent route and its reference against the item, and print it on the works order
  • A shaped frame is never put on a cutting list as though it were square — it says so instead

Interactive 3D design

Rotate the design, view it from outside or inside, and open each sash or door leaf on screen before anything is made.

  • Outside and inside views
  • Open and close each sash or leaf, or all of them
  • Smooth, woodgrain and matt finishes drawn differently
  • Anything that cannot be shown accurately is labelled, not faked

Profile system management

Each order works from its supplier’s catalogue, so every profile, colour and piece of hardware offered is one that range contains.

  • Frames, sashes, mullions, transoms and beads
  • Cills, reinforcements, couplings and thresholds
  • Colours, glazing and hardware per system
  • Your own stock items alongside the supplier’s

03 · quote

Win the job

A quotation the customer can actually read, built from the order you already have — not typed again into a word processor.

Customer quotation

Download it or email it to the customer from the order, under your brand: a drawing of every window, what it is made of, and what it costs.

  • Your logo, address, phone and registration numbers at the top and foot of the page
  • A priced line per item, a schedule that adds up, and the total above the fold on page one
  • Your VAT treatment, validity, deposit and terms — or nothing at all where you have set nothing
  • Emailed with the PDF attached, with replies going to you
  • Issued quotations are frozen, so a price a customer is holding cannot change behind them

04 · control

Check it before it costs you

Validation and approval stop an incomplete or inconsistent order before it reaches the saw.

Smart validation

Orders are checked before they move on. Anything missing or outside the supplier’s range is stopped with a plain explanation.

  • Missing width, height or opening type
  • Hinge and handle side not set
  • Glazing, frame colour and required hardware
  • Published maximum sizes and glazing compatibility, where the supplier publishes them

Technical approval

Orders move from submitted, to technical, to validated, to ready to make. A validator releases the order or sends it back with a note.

  • A queue for every step, showing whose turn it is
  • Send back with a required note
  • Each step limited to the roles allowed to take it

Change control

Validated orders are locked. Changing one means reopening it, and that is recorded, so production never works from a quietly edited design.

  • Items locked once an order is validated
  • Reopening recorded in the order history
  • Cutting rules kept as draft, live and retired versions
  • Documents generated from the current order at download

05 · produce

Make it from clear information

Production documents generated from the validated order, not re-typed from someone’s notes.

Automatic materials & BOM

Generate cutting lists, glass sizes and a material summary from the configured items, using cutting rules your organisation controls.

  • Saw lengths with end preparation, laid onto stock bars
  • Glass sizes per pane and glass area per specification
  • Reinforcement, bead, hardware and accessory totals
  • Ready-made rules for Aluplast IDEAL 70 casements, fixed lights and doors

Manufacturing workflow

The factory receives a works order, cutting list and material summary built from the validated order, not from handwriting.

  • Items that cannot be cut are listed with the reason
  • Released orders marked ready to make
  • Delivered and returned orders tracked

PDF documentation

Works orders, cutting lists, material summaries and order exports as PDF, carrying your company name and logo.

  • A4 production documents
  • Your branding on every document
  • Order lists exported to PDF or Excel

06 · manage

Run it all from one place

Orders, suppliers and the history of every change, in one system rather than spread across paper and spreadsheets.

Audit trail

Every status change records who made it, when and the note they left. Sign-ins, exports and deletions are logged too.

  • Status history on every order
  • Sign-in activity visible to administrators
  • Exports, document downloads and deletions logged

Order management

Manage orders from first survey to delivery, with queues, filters and exports built around how a fabricator works.

  • Filter by status, customer, supplier and dates
  • Supply only or supply & fit, glazed or unglazed
  • Orders that need attention picked out
  • Export to Excel or PDF

Supplier management

Supplier catalogues maintained in GlazeFlow, plus the handles, locks and hinges you buy under your own names, offered only to your team.

  • Profile supplier chosen per order
  • Your own catalogue items, private to your organisation
  • Items can be retired without changing past orders

Also included

The details that make it work day to day.

  • Roles & permissions
  • Prices hidden from roles that should not see them
  • Email sign-in codes
  • Your logo on documents
  • Millimetres or inches
  • Each organisation’s data kept separate

Questions

What fabricators ask about GlazeFlow.

Which profile systems does GlazeFlow support?

GlazeFlow carries catalogues for Aluplast and Liniar, including their frames, sashes, mullions, transoms, beads, cills, reinforcements, colours, glazing and hardware. Additional systems are being added.

Can GlazeFlow produce cutting lists for my products?

GlazeFlow generates cutting lists, glass sizes and material summaries from configured items. Ready-made cutting rules are included for Aluplast IDEAL 70 casements, fixed lights, French doors and residential doors, and your organisation can set up its own rules for other products. Bay windows, sliding and bi-fold doors are not cut automatically; they are listed with the reason instead.

Does GlazeFlow work on a tablet at the customer’s home?

Yes. The order screens, designer and photo capture are built for tablets and phones. GlazeFlow runs in the browser and needs an internet connection.

Does GlazeFlow produce quotes?

GlazeFlow records the price of each item with line and order totals, and hides prices from roles that should not see them. It does not calculate prices from a supplier price list.

Can we use our own names for hardware?

Yes. Your organisation can add its own catalogue items, such as the handles, locks and hinges you buy, and they are offered on your orders only.

Is our data kept separate from other companies?

Yes. Each organisation’s orders, customers and files are kept separate, and access inside your organisation is controlled by roles and permissions. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for their own use.

Who provides GlazeFlow, and where is our data?

GlazeFlow is provided by VIVID LOGIC, a software company based in Pakistan, which built it for UK window and door businesses. The application and its database are hosted in Germany, and authorised members of the VIVID LOGIC team in Pakistan can access it for maintenance and support.

How do we delete our data?

Email info@glazeflow.uk or call +92 313 4900925 from your organisation’s administrator. Once we have confirmed the request, we permanently delete your organisation’s data, including uploaded files, within 14 business days.
