And that's before adding payroll, advanced reporting, or additional users. Cabinet shops end up paying for a construction platform that doesn't even speak their language.
Buildertrend was built for general contractors. Cabinet shops using it are constantly working around features that don't fit — custom fields, manual workarounds, and mismatched workflows. KitchenERP fits out of the box.
Import cabinet designs directly from 2020 Design into orders and quotes. Buildertrend doesn't support 2020 Design — period. For cabinet businesses, this single feature alone saves hours per week.
Buildertrend's base plan starts at $399/month before adding features you need. KitchenERP is priced for cabinet businesses — with cabinet-specific tools included at a fraction of the cost.
Buildertrend has a notoriously steep learning curve. Cabinet businesses report weeks of setup time before they're productive. KitchenERP's team handles onboarding, data migration, and training — live in 48 hours.

Moving from Buildertrend to KitchenERP is easier than you think. Our team handles everything.
