Made-to-order production, inside WooCommerce

Your customers order it. Your team still has to make it.

ProdQueue turns each tracked item in a WooCommerce order into its own production job, with the product details, status and priority your team needs to know what to make next.

  • No copied spreadsheets
  • No separate SaaS
  • No full manufacturing ERP
ProdQueue production queue showing individual jobs, priorities, statuses, and product attributes

£10.5m+

In WooCommerce sales managed through the real production workflow ProdQueue was built from.

1 per item

Every physical unit of a tracked product receives its own production job.

Inside WooCommerce

No separate production platform or additional team account.

The gap after checkout

WooCommerce knows what sold. Production needs to know what to make.

When five custom items sit inside one order, WooCommerce can show you the sale. It cannot show production which three are finished and which two are still waiting.

01

Spreadsheets drift out of sync

02

Order notes hide item-level progress

03

Rush jobs compete with ordinary work

04

Edits and refunds create guesswork

How it works

From checkout to a queue your team can actually run.

Keep WooCommerce as the source of truth. ProdQueue adds the item-level production structure the standard order screen is missing.

  1. 01

    Choose what gets tracked

    Enable ProdQueue for the products you make, then choose the product attributes your team needs on each job.

  2. 02

    Orders become jobs

    When an order reaches your chosen status, each tracked unit appears as its own production job.

  3. 03

    The team works the queue

    Your team can search, filter, prioritise and update work from one production queue inside WooCommerce.

  4. 04

    Orders stay in sync

    See jobs from the order, record events in order notes and optionally complete the order when production is done.

Built from the shop floor

£10.5m+

In WooCommerce sales managed through the workflow it grew from.

Created because a real made-to-order team outgrew the WooCommerce order screen.

ProdQueue began as an internal production workflow for a growing made-to-order manufacturer. As order volume increased, one WooCommerce order could contain several physical items at different stages of production. That workflow has supported more than £10.5m in WooCommerce sales and was rebuilt as a focused extension for other small production teams.

Built for the work

A focused production layer. Not an ERP in disguise.

The controls a growing made-to-order team needs, without moving sales or customer data into another platform.

One job per unit

Quantity five means five trackable jobs, not one line item.

Fast queue controls

Search by job, order, or product. Filter by status, priority, and attributes.

In-place updates

Move work from Pending to In Progress to Completed without reloading the page.

Rush when it matters

Set Normal, High, or Rush priority so the team can see what needs attention.

Order reconciliation

Handle edits, cancellations, and refunds while preserving completed work history.

Your data stays in WooCommerce

Production data stays in your WordPress database. No separate ProdQueue account is required, and order data is not sent to ProdQueue.com.

ProdQueue in action

The order stays familiar. The work gets specific.

See individual jobs created from an order, then update status and priority directly from the production queue.

Common questions

Know exactly where ProdQueue fits.

Read the full FAQ
Does ProdQueue replace my WooCommerce orders?

No. Orders remain the source of truth. ProdQueue adds item-level production jobs linked to each order.

Will five units create five production jobs?

Yes. Every ordered unit gets its own job, status, priority, and history.

Can the queue show product variations?

Yes. Choose the attributes your team needs, such as size, colour, finish or personalisation, for each tracked product.

Do we need another dashboard or account?

No. ProdQueue lives inside WordPress and WooCommerce, where your team already works.

What happens after an edit, refund, or cancellation?

Open jobs are reconciled with the order while completed work remains in the history. Events are recorded in WooCommerce order notes.

Does it manage stock, shipping, or checkout?

No. ProdQueue focuses on production work after checkout and leaves the rest of WooCommerce in charge.

Luca

Built by an operator, not an ERP company

Hi, I’m Luca. I built ProdQueue after needing it myself.

I manage operations for a growing UK made-to-order manufacturer. As our order volume increased, WooCommerce could tell us what had sold, but not give our production team a clear view of every individual item still waiting to be made.

I built the original workflow to solve that problem internally. It has since supported more than £10.5m in WooCommerce sales, and ProdQueue is the focused version rebuilt for other small production teams.

Optional implementation help

ProdQueue is designed for self-service. Optional implementation help is available when you want guided configuration or when an important production step needs custom development.

Done-for-you setup

Configure ProdQueue’s standard capabilities, test one real order flow and hand it over ready for the team.

  • Standard ProdQueue configuration
