RA Workshop
Production Software for Window & Door Manufacturers
RA Workshop provides production software purpose-built for window and door manufacturers, supporting accurate design, profile optimisation, and efficient fabrication across uPVC, aluminium, timber, and steel systems.
RA Workshop is already widely used across Australia and New Zealand, so implementation often builds on existing databases rather than starting from scratch. This makes it an effective software choice for manufacturers looking to improve visibility, control, consistency, and production efficiency.
Why RA Workshop Works for Our Market
RA Workshop is well-suited to manufacturers operating in mixed production environments, from manual and semi-automated workshops through to CNC-supported factories.
The software is valued for:
- Strong profile optimisation
- Flexible system libraries that can be built and reused
- Practical production outputs that align with factory workflows
- Compatibility with a wide range of machinery brands
As with any production software, success depends on proper setup and planning. That’s where 3S Consultancy plays a critical role.
