Equilibrium is the operations software kitchen & bath dealers run on.
Your design software draws the kitchen. Your accounting software counts the money afterward. Equilibrium (EQ) runs everything in between — quoting, ordering, purchasing, scheduling, installation, and service — in one system built by people who ran cabinet dealerships themselves.
The gap EQ fills
Between the design and the invoice, most dealerships run on memory, spreadsheets, and paperwork that gets copied, re-keyed, and lost. That’s where margin leaks, order errors, and “let me go find that job file” live.
EQ closes that gap. It sits in the middle of your operation and connects the three things that never talked to each other: Design → Equilibrium → Accounting.
- Design. EQ imports the kitchen straight from 2020 Design (now Cyncly), ProKitchen, SpecBooks, or Excel — so nobody re-keys the cabinet list.
- Equilibrium. Leads become quotes, quotes become orders, orders become purchase orders, jobs get scheduled, installed, and serviced — one operating system for the whole shop.
- Accounting. Clean sales and purchasing data flows to QuickBooks (or your accounting system), so accounting stays a scorekeeper, not a bottleneck.
And because EQ is web-based, you run the whole operation from anywhere there’s an internet connection — including a tablet on the showroom floor.
The one thing no one else does
Every product you sell lives in EQ — cabinets, hardware, countertops, flooring, plumbing fixtures, labor and installation, miscellaneous, and stock items — priced and ready to quote. And Breakfront maintains those catalogs for you. When a manufacturer changes a price book, we handle the update.
No other software in the kitchen & bath industry does this. It’s not that they do it differently — they don’t do it at all. To show how broad it goes: EQ supports every line under the two largest cabinet conglomerates, Masterbrands and Cabinet Works Group — and hundreds more. If we have data for a catalog, we can run it.
Built for dealers who run more than one location
When you had one showroom, you could see everything in it. Add locations and the picture goes fuzzy — until month-end.
EQ was built for this. Create as many locations as you want, and EQ keeps each one self-contained: its own people, its own catalogs, its own margin rules, its own settings — almost like separate companies under one roof. Then look at any single location, or the whole company at once, whenever you want.
- See every location, or drill into one. Pipeline, closing rates, job status, and margins — per store or company-wide.
- Protect margins before the quote leaves. Owners set the margin a quote is priced at and who can approve it. Lock a minimum so a salesperson can’t go below it — controlled by each person’s role.
- One way of working, everywhere. Same quoting, same catalogs, same process across every store, so growth doesn’t turn into chaos.

Proof
The dealers who grow on EQ, stay on EQ.
- Brock Cabinets — one of the largest kitchen & bath dealers in the country — has more than doubled its number of locations while running on Equilibrium.
- Modern Builders Supply runs close to 30 locations on EQ, and has for roughly 20 years.
Our sales team can accurately quote and order any kitchen in minutes using Equilibrium. That puts us light years ahead of our competition.

My capacity to handle orders has doubled — at least. I can push more orders through our facility without any additional staff. Equilibrium orders are accurate every time.

When we call, you are always there and you quickly handle anything we throw at you.

Why dealers trust it
Equilibrium was built by cabinet dealers, for cabinet dealers. The people who built EQ grew up in the family dealership, built the software to run it, then brought it to the industry. Twenty-five years later, EQ still stands alone as the operating system for kitchen & bath dealers — and it still ships updates every month.
EQ is also a KBB Product Innovator Award winner, recognized for connecting dealers and manufacturers into one seamless flow from design through ordering to accounting.
Pricing
- Advanced — $99/user/mo. The full operating system — CRM, quoting, purchasing, scheduling, and Catalog Creator. Built for smaller shops that price cabinets from their own line items.
- Professional — $150/user/mo. Everything in Advanced, plus the maintained manufacturer cabinet catalogs (products, modifications, selections), design-software import, and all-in-one proposals and contracts. (most popular)
- Enterprise — $175/user/mo. Everything in Professional, plus custom accounting integration, onsite training, and go-live support. Best for larger, multi-location dealers.
Most dealers report higher gross margins after onboarding — and because EQ works like a low-cost assistant to every salesperson, you can grow without scaling headcount at the same pace. Compare Plans →
Common questions
Doesn’t my design software already do this?
Design programs price parts of a project. EQ assembles the total package price of the whole job — cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, flooring, and labor — then quotes, orders, schedules, and tracks it, with a workflow engine built to prevent margin erosion.
Doesn’t my accounting system do most of this?
Accounting is a rear-view mirror — it mostly tells you what happened after the invoice is paid. EQ gives you the intelligence to act before, during, and after the sale, and handles the industry-specific catalogs, sales orders, POs, and scheduling accounting systems weren’t built for.
Can I quote everything I sell?
Yes. EQ can be set up to sell any product or service — its real strength is handling complex, special-order items like cabinets.
Do I have to change how I do business?
No. EQ is a configurable platform with strong workflow control, so you set it up to match the way you already work — and adjust it as your business changes.
Where is my data, and is it secure?
Your data is hosted in the United States at a premier datacenter, behind multiple firewalls, backed up nightly to an encrypted off-site copy with incremental backups every 30 minutes.
See it on your own numbers.
A demo takes about 30 minutes, and we run it on scenarios that match your dealership — your catalogs, your locations, your margins.
