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.
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

Released orders marked ready to make
Delivered and returned orders tracked

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

06 · manage
Run it all from one place

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.
