Cleat isn't a construction tool that got repurposed for furniture dealers. It's the opposite — a punch-list and closeout app built by someone who spent a decade selling and installing office furniture, watching the same problems repeat project after project.
I spent a decade on the dealer side of the furniture business, watching installers close out corporate fit-outs with a WhatsApp thread, 240 photos, a Google Drive folder somebody forgot to share, and a clipboard that usually ended up in the wrong truck. Every project had the same last 5% problem: the work was done, but nobody could prove it, so retention money sat on the client's desk for another six weeks.
Procore is a great product for general contractors tracking RFIs and concrete pours. It's priced and shaped for that world. If you're an FF&E installer or a furniture dealer, you're paying $10K+/year for features you don't use and missing the three features you actually need: pin a photo to a floorplan, assign a fix, get a client signature. Cleat is those three features. Nothing else.
“Every feature in Cleat is shaped by a real project that went sideways. No feature committees, no user research agencies — just a decade of problems I personally lived through, now fixed in one app.”
Short list, strongly held.
Tools that speak your language beat tools you have to translate. Cleat talks panel-to-panel, not CSI divisions.
The work happens on the floor, not at a desk. Every feature ships on mobile first, desktop second.
A small installer shouldn't need a PO process to sign up. $29 on a personal Amex, start the next day.
