Same software, different halves of it.
Gydon is licensed by module, so what a joinery workshop switches on and what a builders merchant switches on barely overlap. These pages say which parts matter in each trade, and where Gydon is the wrong answer.
Joinery and Timber
Cutting lists, made-to-measure sizes, a finishing bay that always takes longer than anybody allowed for, and your own vans doing the delivering.
Metal Fabrication
Work centres that queue, setup time worth counting properly, and material that goes out to a galvaniser or coater and has to come back.
Subcontract Engineering
Somebody else's material in your workshop, priced by the operation, with certificates and quantities that have to reconcile at the end of the month.
Builders Merchants and Trade Counters
A counter, account customers on their own prices, a yard with stock in more than one place, and deliveries that have to hit a site slot.
Wholesale and Distribution
Buying well, holding the right amount, and getting it out again. Replenishment, lead times and picking rather than production.
Multichannel and Online Retail
Orders arriving from marketplaces, your own shop, the trade counter and the phone, landing in one queue against one stock figure.
Marketing Agencies
Retainers, website builds, client requests and the hours that go into them. Gydon began as the CRM inside our own agency.
Web Hosts
Domains, plans, renewal dates and recurring invoices against the client they belong to, with the support tickets alongside them.
Manufacturing
Routing kept separate from the bill of materials, work centres, shop floor clocking and exact job costing. The part of Gydon everything else grew around.
Not on this list?
The modules do not care what your trade is called. Tell us how work reaches you and how it leaves, and we will tell you honestly whether Gydon fits.
Bring one job from your own week
Whatever the trade, the demo is the same shape: we take one real job of yours and run it from enquiry to delivery in front of you.
