The math doesn't lie.
Cabinet Makers deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Sheet goods and hardware costs fluctuate significantly. Custom designs require precise measurements and client approvals. Projects span 4-8 weeks from design to install. Balancing shop production with on-site installation scheduling. Jobber charges $69/month on top of these daily realities. The median cabinet maker earns $48,000/year — $828/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for cabinet makers. You own it like you own your CNC router or table saw setup.
You're building a kitchen — 14 cabinets, $18,000 job. Sheet goods: $2,800. Hardware: $600. Finish materials: $400. You're in week 3 of a 5-week build. The client wants to change the upper cabinet height after boxes are already built — 4 cabinets need to be remade. You have a bathroom vanity project starting next week and a quote request for a built-in bookcase. Shop time vs. install scheduling is managed by memory.
