What's included — every plan, every seat

The whole shop, on one sheet.

Twelve modules, built by people who have actually worked a shop floor. Every feature earned its place — and every fabricator on your team gets all of it.

Project Board

See your full production pipeline at a glance. Drag to update status. Every job, every stage, every worker visible on one wall.

Time Clocking

Fabricators clock in and out, log hours directly to jobs. Geofenced so the time on the card is the time on the floor.

Radius · 55 – 220 yd configurable

Material & Inventory

Track what you have, what's ordered, and what's low. POs, stock levels, and lead times in one place — no more Monday-morning material surprises.

Every seat, every feature

No tiers. The welder, the purchaser, and the owner each see the tools their role needs. Pay per seat, scale as you hire — nothing hidden behind an upgrade.

Four leaks · in calendar order

The four places
margin walks out the door.

Quoting losses are booked before a job starts. Scheduling losses during. Change-order losses at handoff. Job-cost losses only show up after close. Most small shops absorb all four — quietly, every year. Here is the size of each one.

Leak · 01Pre-job

Estimating is slow.

Quotes built by hand in a spreadsheet, by whoever has the time. Margin drifts every time a rate is stale or a secondary op is forgotten.

What plugs it
EstimateBuilder
Rates, templates, and authorship in one place. Quotes go out before the bigger shop replies.
Leak · 02In-job

The schedule is a whiteboard.

Three jobs land on one CNC at once and nobody flags it until Tuesday morning. Owners over-promise, then eat overtime to catch up.

Gantt + conflicts
Live finite-capacity schedule. Conflicts surface before you commit, not the morning of.
Leak · 03At handoff

Change orders go unbilled.

"Can you do matte instead of gloss?" "Sure." The fabricator runs the work; the paperwork never gets written. Twenty small yeses, half a job's margin.

Leak · 04Post-mortem

Costs creep before the first cut.

Steel tariffs land, diesel jumps, an extruder slips four weeks. Your quoted margin walks out the door between quote and build — and without a heads-up, you book the loss at close-out.

The number
6–9%
Mill price push when Section 232 lands — and that's just one shock. Tariffs, fuel, conflicts, and scarcity stack quietly between quote and build.

In the wild

Here's a real week,
on a real shop's floor.

A rush order just landed. Drag it onto CNC-01 and Dean's Tuesday. Conflict detection catches the overlap with the Gala Stage in red before you commit — and suggests the next open slot.
