Workflows · AI

Three jobs. One place.

An openings shop used to run on follow-ups. Workflows and AI sit on the same spine as the PO, the hardware, and the invoice, so the job moves without the chase.

Material tracking

Status without the follow-up.

PMs should not spend the day asking the distributor, the warehouse, and the field where the frames are. Hinges surfaces tracking updates in one view: delays, ETAs, receipts. The team looks at the portal instead of starting another thread.

Caught: $233.33 over PO
AP automation

Catch the error before you pay it.

Every supplier invoice and order confirmation is checked against the PO. A hardware-schedule revision, a restock fee, a price bump on the closer — flagged with the dollar impact. Nothing auto-approves. Your team has the last click, then it posts to accounting.

Where it breaks

The job runs on follow-ups. Errors still get paid.

PMs chase status across distributors and inboxes. AP still keys invoices by hand. Doors, frames, and hardware sit between the PO and the opening with no single owner of the truth.

Ops statement

Typical Division 8 shop · one busy week

01

The status chase

PMs ping vendors, warehouse, AP, and the field for the same update. Status lives in texts.

12+
02

The silent change

The confirmation came back with a price bump on the hardware. It landed in a portal nobody opens.

03

Materials in limbo

Frames issued, maybe shipped, maybe sitting at the distributor. Nobody has one picture of the PO.

One place

Your team should not be the status desk. Hinges is the place.

Connect your project and accounting software once. Slack and Teams stay where they are. POs, deliveries, and invoices for the opening land in Hinges. Everyone looks at the same picture.

PO issued → confirmed → received → paid, on one spine
Door, frame, and hardware ETAs in the portal, not in a text thread

Hinges works where the team already is.

Slack. Microsoft Teams. The project and accounting software you already run. Hinges sits in the middle. It doesn’t ask anyone to switch chats.

Built for PMs, not just AP.

Door, frame, and hardware updates land in the same portal as the PO and the invoice. Nobody has to take constant follow-ups with the distributor, warehouse, or the field. Open Hinges. See where the hardware is.

What changes when the job has a portal

Less chase. Fewer surprises. A last click that is still yours.

Live

Material status.

PMs check the portal instead of pinging the distributor, warehouse, and the field.

Connect the software you already use. Keep issuing POs the way you do now.

Pricing

A custom solution for how you actually run.

Every openings shop closes differently. We don’t publish a rate card. We build a custom solution around your volume, your jobs, and the tools your team already uses.

Custom, not a SKU

We shape the workflows, the AI, and the rollout to the operation you run. Not a starter plan that unlocks later.

How we size it

Invoice volume, jobs in flight, entities, and who needs to live in Hinges.

Who it fits

Doors, Frames & Hardware subcontractors. We quote the shop you actually run.
