Inside Dominis Stone: How Moraware powers faster quotes, smarter scheduling, and leaner inventory

DRAWING, LAYOUT & ESTIMATING SOFTWARE

Faster, more accurate quotes with CounterGo

For Dominis Stone, quoting used to be a time-consuming task. What once took 20–30 minutes per job now takes just 5–10 minutes. CounterGo allows their team to move quickly without sacrificing accuracy. On large multi-unit projects, like a 350-unit complex, the time saved adds up to four or five hours.

Beyond speed, the quoting process also helps the team control costs. By laying out pieces directly on slab images, they know exactly how many slabs a job will require — reducing waste and preventing the need to order more material than necessary.

“You can see how the pieces lay out on the slabs and know exactly how many slabs you need. That’s super beneficial for us ’cause no fabricator wants to use more slabs than they need.”

ALL-IN-ONE JOB SCHEDULING & MANAGEMENT

Organized scheduling at scale with Systemize

When a shop is handling 15–20 kitchens or houses every day, keeping schedules straight is a challenge that goes far beyond a shared calendar. For Dominis Stone, the solution was building a workflow around Systemize, adapting it to fit the unique way their business operates.

Today, the software connects all three of their locations, ensuring every employee can access the right information when they need it. From templating and material ordering to install schedules, the entire team can see what needs to get done and when, without the confusion of multiple tools or disconnected spreadsheets.

 

“Google calendars and everything are great if you’re doing one or two kitchens a month, but when you’re doing 15 to 20 kitchens a day or houses a day, you need some type of system that’s gonna tell you what needs to get done. Systemize is what we use for that, and it’s amazing.”

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Real savings with Moraware Inventory

For Dominis Stone, inventory used to mean uncertainty and wasted space, with 50 to 100 extra slabs on hand at any given time. By tagging and tracking every slab and sink in Moraware Inventory, they’ve gained full visibility into what’s available, what’s allocated, and when to reorder.

The result: leaner inventory, fewer surprises, and a 10–12% reduction in excess material, saving both money and space.

 

“The inventory function has saved us probably 10 to 12%. We mark and tag all of our slabs. We know exactly what we have.”
Matt Balsley
General Manager, Dominis Stone

Summary

  • Faster Quoting: Dominis uses CounterGo for quick, accurate quotes, which includes importing slab images, creating a countertop drawing with slab layouts and instant calculations, enabling a 5-10-minute quoting process and saving 4-5 hours per large project.
  • Scheduling at Scale: Once the quote is approved the shop relies on Systemize to manage everything from templating, material ordering, to installation scheduling.
