CutList Plus Express (formerly CutList Plus)

Digital tools can have a wide variety uses in the business world. Whether employed as stock trackers, sales contacts agendas or complicated business simulators, applications have always had great potential for reducing costs and increasing profits.

CutList Plus Express attempts to achieve this by providing woodworkers with a clean and stable environment in which to compute wood parts costs. The application can also generate useful cutting diagrams, based on the physical characteristics defined by users.

It can be said the application has two possible uses: as an optimized generator of cutting diagrams for sheet goods and as a bills of materials and cost summary recorder. The two modules are synergistic because once one has defined wood parts creating diagrams and managing stocks is a natural step.

There are multiple parameters that can be defined, such as physical characteristics (i.e. wood thickness, width, and length), but also names and descriptions. Once users provide the data, the application automatically computes optimum cutting diagrams, which can be printed using a built-in function.

Materials quantities and prices, as well as vendor information and stocks details are all customizable fields that allow users to create comprehensive bills of materials (BOMs). Concise and statistics-rich reports are also automatically generated from the source data.

To conclude, CutList Plus Express is a good tool for anyone in the business of woodworking. It can be employed to reduce costs, by minimizing wastes generated from cutting wood. The utility is also an effective stocks tracker, which can be used to manage wood parts and their vendors.
