Drawing
Streamline order entry with an easy to use drawing tool
Delays at the order entry stage can slow down the entire glass manufacturing process. With Smart-Glass, customers can draw and place their orders with you in a production-ready format, meaning orders get through to production quickly. This can reduce lead time by a day or more. The whole process is faster and means more orders can be taken without the need to employ more staff.
Smart-Glass has been tested drawing glass against CAD and paper and is significantly faster than both. Time-saving features include user customisable cutout and panel libraries, drag-and-drop cutouts, one-click edge work and easy cloning of glass panels. Drawings are interactive, meaning the user can click on dimensions to change them.
Calculate
An accurate cost for every order
Smart-Glass can be loaded with all your costs, so while your customer draws, prices are calculated automatically in the background. The software understands shape surcharges and tracks exactly how many notches, holes and lineal feet of edge work are required, as your customer designs each panel.
You can set the pricing for each customer individually in their order portal, so there’s no additional work if you have different rates for different customers.
“Switching to Smart-Glass has been a major step forward in how we process customer orders. Our customers can now order simple or complex glass online.”

Fabricate
Drawings arrive ready for fabrication
Reduce your turnaround time — drawings come from your customers fabrication-ready, eliminating the need for time-consuming redraws.
Smart-Glass is also ideal for internal order entry of hand-drawn faxes or emails from customers who are not yet ordering online. You can even import DXF/DWG glass profiles from customers designing railings with AutoCAD/SolidWorks. Save time, reduce mistakes and export directly to fabrication.
Integrate
Export to PDF, DXF or straight to fabrication
Integrate with your cutting tables by exporting to Opty-Way, or go straight to CNC/Waterjet with machine-ready CAD files.

From glass for showers, storefronts, railings, mirrors, IG replacements, shelves, skylights, table tops to glass louvres. The orders come through as clean, clear, easy-to-interpret drawings ready for processing, complete with DXF files for your CNC/Waterjet and we have a range of exports for leading industry processing software.
