From Excel to a custom application for a manufacturer From proposal to production. Every detail carries through.
Chairs, banquettes, hundreds of choices. For Pavar, we replaced Excel proposals with an application that connects the products, the client’s decisions and the team’s work.

The starting point
Custom furniture. Not proposals to redo by hand.
Pavar builds chairs and banquettes for restaurants across North America. Behind every order are models, quantities, fabrics, finishes and details to confirm.
One file to price the job. Everything else to coordinate.
The team prepared its proposals in Excel. Preparation work that took hours, before the order details were even finalized.
- Prepare the proposal
- Rework the changes
- Gather the client’s choices
The same information, from one step to the next.
Products and options feed the proposal. The client reviews it, approves it and specifies their choices online. The order then becomes a project for the team.

The application in action
One order. Both sides of the relationship.
Pavar’s work and the client’s decisions come together. Follow the same order, from preparation to production.
01 / PAVAR SIDE
The right products. The right price. No starting from scratch.
Pavar builds its proposal from the products and options connected to its website. Photos, quantities and prices come together in a document ready to share.
↳ The catalogue becomes a sales tool.02 / CLIENT SIDE
One link to open. One decision to make.
The client receives the proposal online. They can request changes or approve it. Pavar makes the changes and sends the proposal back.
↳ Every exchange moves the same order forward.03 / CLIENT SIDE
Every choice matters. Every choice has its place.
Once approved, a page lets the client specify the details of the order: fabric, finish, nailhead colour and spacing. The answers stay attached to the right products.
↳ Fewer details to interpret before production.04 / PAVAR SIDE
The sale is closed. The work carries on.
Once the details are complete, the order becomes a project. The team finds the products and their specifications, then tracks progress through its production stages.
↳ The proposal leads somewhere, all the way to the workshop.Maison Alder

Prepared in the application
Where the application makes the difference
A colour. A spacing. One less mistake to risk.
On an order of several dozen seats, small details are not small. They define what gets built.
The specifications page gives every answer its place: the fabric, the wood finish, the nailhead colour and spacing. The team finds the choices tied to the right product.
What changes day to day
Less preparation. More room to sell.
The gain starts with the proposal. It continues every time the order moves forward without having to piece the information back together.
Hours. Minutes.
Products and their options are already in the application. The team builds its proposal from that foundation.
Order of magnitude; not a timed before-and-after measurement.A client who can move their own order forward.
They review their proposal, request a change, approve it and specify the details online.
Less risk of error.
Choices and information live together in the order, instead of being scattered across several manual steps.
Continuity all the way to the project.
The approved, completed order becomes a project the team can follow through production.
The relationship behind the application
Ten years of working together. And the next step in mind.
François has been working with Pavar for ten years. Today, Maria wants a second version of the application: a new step for a tool the team has used for several years.
Preparing a proposal used to mean working in Excel. Now our products, the client’s choices and the details of their order all live in the application. We save time, and we move forward with far less risk of error.
