Work Instruction & SOP Software for Windows, Doors and Joinery
In a windows and doors workshop, the right way to build a frame, set glazing, and fit a unit lives in your best joiner's head. Film the bench or the site on a phone, AI writes each step of the work instruction with a clip and description, mark the exact joint or measurement, and share it by QR with a final quality sign-off.

The problem
The Challenges
The right way to build lives in one craftsperson's head
Your best joiner just knows how to build the frame, cut the joint, and set the glazing so it lasts, and none of it is written down. When they take a day off, the method goes with them.
Custom, detail-heavy work gets done inconsistently
Every unit is a bit different, and quality depends on the method. When workshop staff each do it their own way, you get variation, callbacks, and rework, with nothing to point to.
Installers on site have no reference
Fitting and finishing happen away from the workshop, where the printed sheet gets left behind. Installers work from memory, and a missed step turns into a return visit and a warranty job.
What changes
How SOPX Solves This
01
Film once, AI writes the build work instruction
Record the joiner building the frame, glazing, or fitting the unit on a phone. AI splits it into steps, each with a trimmed clip, an AI-written title, and description. A draft work instruction is ready fast.
02
Mark the exact joint and measurement
Add arrows, boxes, and callouts on the frames so workshop staff see exactly where the joint goes, which face to reference, and the measurement that has to be right, every time.
03
A QR at the bench and a final quality sign-off
Put a QR at the bench so anyone opens the current steps with no login, and share the same work instruction with installers on site. Run mode captures a signature that the final quality check was done.
Relevant Use Cases
Work Instructions for Training
Film the job once on a phone. SOPX turns it into a visual work instruction. Put instructions in a training path, and new starters work through it at their own pace, in their own language. Each trainee signs off, and you see who is trained.
Learn more →Process Standardization
Process variation drives quality issues, waste, and errors. Standardize every task with visual SOPs generated from your best methods, accessible at every workstation.
Learn more →Quality & Compliance
Generate the procedure from a process video. Save a new version every time it changes. Translate it to 50+ languages with a side-by-side review editor. Share it at the workstation by QR code. Export to PDF or Word for an audit binder.

Production Supervisor / Team Lead
You answer the same questions every shift, and your best operators lose time to it too. Film the job once, let AI draft a step-by-step visual work instruction, and point your team to one link they open right at the workstation.
Learn more →Operations Manager
You do not have hours to write procedures, and your best operators should not either. They film the job on a phone, AI drafts a clear step-by-step SOP, and you review it in minutes. The line keeps running when someone is out.
Learn more →Quality Manager
Defects and variation come from work done a different way every time. Have your best operator film the correct method, let AI draft the procedure, and control which version the floor runs.
Learn more →Key terms
Runbook
A step-by-step operational document that walks someone through a specific recurring task or incident, from trigger to resolution, so anyone can execute it the same way.
Standard Operating Procedure
A documented set of step-by-step instructions that defines how a recurring task or process should be performed.
Annotation (in SOPs and Work Instructions)
A visual marker (arrow, shape, text, or callout) added on top of an image or video frame in an SOP to point operators at the exact thing that matters.
Cross-training
Training employees to perform tasks outside their primary role so the team can cover absences, balance load, and keep operations running.
