An Open Platform Initiative

The framing industry
deserves better tools.

We're building the open data standard and integration platform that connects frame shops, suppliers, and software — for the first time, on the industry's terms.

A $4 billion industry running on phone calls, faxes, and workarounds.

🔒

Walled Gardens

Every POS system is a silo. Your data doesn't talk to your supplier's data. Switching systems means starting over.

📞

Manual Everything

Ordering from suppliers by phone. Checking stock by calling a rep. Comparing prices from memory. It's 2026 — this shouldn't be this hard.

🚫

No Standard Exists

There is no shared data format for mouldings, matboards, or glazing. No API for suppliers. No way to integrate without custom work.

🪣

The Invisible Spend

Frame shops buy plexiglass from plastics suppliers, adhesive from hardware stores, wood from lumber yards — and no POS accounts for this.

An open standard that lets every system in the framing ecosystem speak the same language — and an open-source reference platform that proves it works.

01

Open Data Standard

A universal format for materials, pricing, orders, and inventory that any software can read, write, and exchange.

02

Supplier Integration

Real-time pricing, stock availability, and ordering through standardized APIs — including non-industry vendors.

03

Reference POS

A free, open-source point-of-sale system built for framers, by framers. Not a fork of a generic POS — purpose-built.

04

Community Governed

The standard belongs to the industry, not a corporation. Built in the open. Shaped by real shops doing real work.

Your shop.
Your workflow.
Your standard.

We need to hear from working framers — what you use, what breaks, what you wish existed. Every response directly shapes what we build.
