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 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.

How SOPX Solves This

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I turn a workshop video into a build work instruction?
Film your best joiner building a frame, glazing a unit, or fitting on site with a phone, then upload it to SOPX. AI splits the recording into steps, each with a trimmed video clip, a title, and a description, and builds them into a work instruction. You review and adjust any step, then publish, usually in under 10 minutes. No typing and no working off a paper drawing.
What joinery work can I document this way?
Frame and unit assembly, glazing, fitting and installation, finishing, and quality checks. If a craftsperson does it with their hands, you can film it and AI will write the steps. Screen recorders only capture clicks on a computer, so they can't document work that happens at the bench or on site.
Can I mark the exact joint or measurement on a step?
Yes. Add arrows, boxes, circles, and callouts on the frames so workshop staff see exactly which joint, which face to reference, and the measurement that has to be right. The detail you used to point out in person lives on the step, ready every time.
How do installers on site get to the work instruction?
Share it by QR code or link. An installer scans it and opens the current steps with no login, right on their phone. Full-screen mode walks them through one step at a time, so nothing gets missed away from the workshop.
Can I capture a final quality sign-off?
Yes. Run mode lets you attach a checklist to the work instruction so the person confirms each step was done, with an optional note and a signature at the end. You get a record that the final quality check on a unit was completed, without any certification claims.
What happens when we change how a unit is built?
Edit the work instruction once and everyone gets the latest version, while older versions stay on record. You can replace a single step with new video, an image, or an image carousel and the rest stays intact. The workshop and site always see the current method, not a stale note.
