SOP Studio is the simple way for cabinet and millwork shops to document finishing processes, assign them to the floor, and get consistent results — every time.
If your best finisher walked out today, how much walks out with them?
Your lead finisher has 15+ years of stain matching, spray technique, and sanding grit sequences in their head. When they leave, that knowledge leaves.
A new hire can't tell a sealer coat from a topcoat on day one. Without documented processes, every ramp-up takes months longer than it should.
Every job comes out slightly different because the process lives in someone's head — not in a shared, repeatable document your whole crew can follow.
"How do we fix this run?" — texted at 9 PM on a Saturday. Your crew needs answers at the spray booth, not in your inbox after hours.
SOP Studio turns your crew's knowledge into step-by-step procedures your whole shop can follow.
Create detailed finishing procedures with text, photos, and video — right from your phone or computer. Record your best finisher's process once, not repeatedly.
Assign SOPs to specific crew members. They see exactly what's expected on their phone or a shop tablet. No more "I didn't know we did it that way."
See who's completed training on each SOP. Schedule re-training. Know at a glance which crew members are certified on which processes.
Export professional, documented procedures for quality certifications, client requirements, or insurance. Your processes on paper, organized and current.
No training, no onboarding, no meetings. Just open the app and start documenting.
Walk through the process with your best finisher. Take photos, write each step, add a video. Done in minutes, not hours.
Push the SOP to the relevant crew members. They get it on their phone — right at the spray booth, not in a binder on a shelf.
See who's completed each SOP. Update procedures as you refine them. Your processes get better over time instead of getting forgotten.
SOP Studio was built by a cabinet finishing shop owner who lived the problem every day.
"We documented our spray finishing process in 20 minutes. Now every new hire watches the video and reads the steps before they touch a gun. Quality went up across the board."
"I used to spend my Sunday nights writing out instructions for Monday's job. Now I assign an SOP in the app and they have everything they need. Saved me hours a week."
One price, all features. No per-seat upcharges, no hidden fees.
Everything you need to know about documenting your shop's processes.
No — it works for any trade or service business that needs documented procedures. We built it for finishing because that's what we know, but the tool works for painters, electricians, fabricators, and anyone else with repeatable processes.
Yes. The app is designed for shop-floor use. Crew members can view SOPs, watch attached videos, and mark steps complete right from their phone. No app store install needed — it works in the browser.
Most shops document their first complete SOP in 15-30 minutes. Walk through the process with your best finisher, snap photos of each step, write a short description, and you're done. It gets faster the more you do it.
Yes. Each step can include text instructions, photos demonstrating the correct technique, and video walkthroughs. A picture of the correct spray pattern is worth a thousand words for a new hire.
You can edit any SOP at any time. Add steps, update photos, change the order. The updated version is immediately available to your crew. Your processes get better over time instead of getting lost.
The app is live and functional. Join the waitlist for early-access pricing and priority onboarding.
