Software for unitized curtain wall shops

Unitized work lives or dies on crate maps and install sequence, not warehouse min/max. Spectr tracks unique assemblies from drawing to crate to elevation, including a services calendar for anodize and paint that belongs next to production — not in email.

Key facts

  • Installers should open a phone and see contents — not call the shop to guess.
  • Spectr shipping lists update as products are scanned into crates.
  • Finish lead time is often longer than fabrication.
  • A unitized “job” is a building with shifting site dates.

How shops handle this

  1. Map one elevation end to end
    Approved shop drawing to last scanned install.
  2. Pack by sequence
    Convenience packing is how the site opens six crates to hang three units.
  3. Put finish on the same timeline
    Services calendar against the ship window.
  4. Give the field the crate scan
    Same IDs the shop used.

Common questions

Do we need different software for stick-built?

The contract and sequence differ. Unique products, phases, and site visibility still apply.

Can Logikal replace this?

Profile tools feed production. They do not replace crate-to-elevation tracking.
