July was about everything that happens around the work: the quote, the signature, the paperwork, and the crew member with a phone in one hand and a grinder in the other. We also found and fixed more than a few of our own mistakes along the way. They’re listed here too.
- Tested
An automated safety net
An automated test suite now checks the app before every release, so a fix in one place doesn't quietly break another.
- New
E-signatures, built in
Send estimates and work orders for signature straight from the job. Signed copies come back and attach themselves automatically.
- New
Your logo on every document
Estimates and contracts carry your shop's logo and branding, so what clients sign looks like it came from you.
- New
Bring your spreadsheets with you
A guided import wizard maps your columns, shows exactly what will be created, and waits for your OK before anything changes.

After - New
Connect your other tools
An open API and outbound webhooks let Fabrication Plan share jobs, costs and payroll data with the other software your shop already runs.
- New
Quoting gets its own front door
Estimates have their own home in the app: search, status at a glance, and a straight path from quote to signed job.

After - Fixed
Estimates that saved twice
Clicking Save quickly could duplicate every line on an estimate. Saves now happen one at a time, so your numbers stay your numbers.
- New
Send, sign, and capture the PO
Clients sign estimates online and enter their PO number as they approve, so you have it before the job starts.
- Better
Revisions you can trust
Revise a sent estimate and the old version is clearly marked as replaced. No more arguments about which number the client agreed to.
- Better
Status that updates itself
When a client signs, the estimate flips to Accepted on your screen right away. No refresh, no checking your email.
- New
Notifications your way
Each person picks which alerts they get, so the crew hears what matters and the office stops drowning in noise.
- New
Learn from every job you finish
Fabrication Plan compares each job's estimate to what really happened, then shows your most similar past jobs while you quote the next one.
- New
A client portal for live jobs
Give a client a private link to their job's progress, photos and documents. You decide what they see and when access ends.
- Fixed
Direct messages, made truly private
Before launch we caught that direct messages weren't fully private between the two people. Fixed, so a DM is now just between the two of you.
- New
Voice notes that wait for you
Pause and resume a voice recording, and keep your draft even if you step away mid-message.
- New
People who wear more than one hat
One person can hold several roles, like estimator and shop manager, without juggling separate logins.
- Reliability
Clock out even with no signal
Lost Wi-Fi at the back of the shop? Clock-ins, clock-outs and breaks save on the phone and sync the moment you reconnect.
- New
Live QR check-ins
Scan a machine's QR code to start or stop time. Every check-in shows up instantly for everyone, across as many sessions as you run.
- Reliability
No more frozen screens
Every screen has a time limit and a Retry button, and a one-tap Reset is always there if a phone ever gets stuck.
- Fixed
Safari, smoothed out
A rare freeze on iPhones and Macs took real detective work. We traced it to the root cause and fixed it for good.
- Fixed
Subscription updates no longer fail silently
A billing hiccup could go unnoticed. Now every problem is logged and flagged, so your account status is always right.
- Design
Pop-ups everyone can read
Success and error messages now use icons and words as well as color, so they're clear to colorblind users too.
- Security
Tighter walls between shops
A full multi-shop sweep closed small gaps between shops and fixed a sign-up glitch that could create a duplicate shop.
- Design
A three-panel desktop layout
On a big screen, see your job list, the job and its details side by side, without clicking back and forth.

After - New
Spec sheets for any trade
Build reusable specs and step-by-step sequences for welding, woodworking or any other process. Crews see them right at the job.
- New
A shop-floor app for your crew
Fabricators get a simple phone screen: their jobs, their specs, and a big START/STOP button. Nothing they don't need.
