Vintro Pro · for furniture restorers

Stock management for furniture restorers

Your purchase price is not your cost. Vintro Pro keeps track, piece by piece, of what you paid and what went into it, so that your margin is right.

A forty-euro cabinet that took eighty euros of materials and three days of work is not a forty-euro cabinet.

That is the difference between a restorer and a reseller. What you buy is halfway; what you sell is finished. In between sit materials, parts and above all time — and if those are not on the piece, every sale looks more profitable than it is.

On top of that, work in progress takes weeks or months. At any moment there is something in the workshop that is neither stock nor sold, and that has to live somewhere too.

What it does for a workshop

  1. One record per piece, from purchase to finished

    Before and after photographs, dimensions, timber and condition. The difference between those two photographs is your best sales argument.

  2. What went in, next to what you paid

    Materials and parts are added to the purchase price, so your cost is right and your margin is not an illusion.

  3. Work in progress kept apart

    What is on the bench is not for sale yet. You record per piece where it stands, so you do not offer it by mistake.

  4. Your finished pieces online

    Tick a piece and it appears on the marketplace, in three languages — with the photographs from before the restoration alongside if you like.

In the app: next to the purchase price, the record leaves room for what you put into it afterwards. That keeps your margin a real figure instead of the gap between two prices.

Where it goes wrong with restoration work

Only the purchase price is written downThen every piece looks profitable. Only at the end of the year do you see that the materials ate your margin.

The photographs from before the restoration are goneThat photograph is precisely what sells the piece, and you cannot take it afterwards.

Work in progress sits among the sales stockSomeone buys something that will not exist for three weeks, or you forget a half-finished piece standing in the corner.

Restoring does not make a piece new.

A restored piece of furniture remains a second-hand good, so the margin scheme stays in play — but the parts and materials you bought follow their own rule. How to keep the two apart is set out in the margin scheme and unused or second-hand?

Can I track restoration costs per piece?
