TCP is used by manufacturers of modular furniture systems who have created type lists / catalogues for their products (living room, kitchen, bathroom, office furniture, etc.). TCP is the perfect solution for graphical order entry where there is both a high requirement for complex variations and a high number of types are available or where custom products are to be planned on the fly. It is the facility for quick order entry, however, which makes TCP the product of choice, as the comprehensive graphical error checking functions are executed automatically and help users plan safely. TCP’s area of experience includes special requirements, such as large and training kitchens or kitchens suitable for people with disabilities. With its custom business solutions, TCP also helps support the entire process chain within furniture manufacturing businesses.

The main function of TCP is graphical order entry for high quality order confirmation, assisting production planning and production and the production of meaningful quotes for complex individual room plans for kitchens, bathrooms and living areas and for other planning-intensive furniture.
In this area TCP is always used in conjunction with other products. Thanks to the standard interface, TCP is easily integrated with other systems. Short implementation times are the rule.

TCP has already been integrated into the solutions offered by leading vendors of ERP/PPS systems to the furniture industry (e.g. MBI, SAP or Microsoft Navision). TCP is today in use at furniture manufacturers and retailers. TCP is also used at furniture manufacturers for direct sales and in multi-outlet retailers with direct or indirect manufacturer integration and simple supplier relationships. TCP is orientated towards the needs of the furniture industry.

TCP achieves its flexibility by consciously focusing on TCP GmbH’s substantial area of experience.

TCP has consciously chosen not to offer solutions for directly controlling wood working machines, instead directly providing the required detailed dimensions for generic bills of materials and drilling data.
TCP also does not concern itself with the commercial and variant-related aspects of a complete PPS solution, instead offering a technically mature graphical solution for complex furniture manufacture applications. TCP is therefore able to be used with any system from any manufacturer. TCP leaves control of machinery to companies specialising in this area, relies on experienced partners for organisational consultancy and collaborates with vendors of PPS systems or all bespoke order entry systems for expert commercial/graphical order processing.

With TCP, users are able to plan and implement complicated objects simply and rapidly. Ensuring proper planning by use of visual inspection and numerous aids and automatic mechanisms improves quality and reduces costs caused by mistakes. In particular the delay-free dialogue between systems via the TCP standard interface connects the graphics world to the remaining systems. In conjunction with other systems, TCP thus enables users to plan complex objects, such as fitted kitchens, simply, rapidly and efficiently. TCP also assists the user in detecting planning errors and warns of any implausibilities.

Staff at companies using TCP can record all specific data themselves and are therefore able to define the quality themselves. This makes a significant contribution to product identification and places the user in the comfortable position of being able to react to requirements and carry out adjustments immediately. TCP GmbH’s particular aim with this principle is the high transparency of costs and the lower product TCO which it helps achieve.


Use of TCP minimises follow-up costs.

TCP also provides the user with numerous configuration options. These configuration options are a prerequisite for realising the full range of furniture manufacturers’ requirements and they increase the very flexible, universal utility of the product.
TCP is a standard product, fully configurable in all particulars. It can thus be introduced quickly and cheaply. Expensive customisation for each new location is done away with completely. This can largely be carried out by the user himself, saving costs.


The real benefit of using TCP thus lies in the excellent interaction between users with their product knowledge and in the unerring precision of a graphical data processing system. The result is
