Operational systems for fabricated metals manufacturers.

Job costing, downtime tracking, and material control — built for make-to-order production where every job has its own routing, materials, and margin.

The reality on the floor

You don't know a job's real cost until it's already shipped.

In job-shop and make-to-order metal fabrication, every job is different — its own materials, its own routing, its own machine time. Most shops find out whether a job was profitable weeks after it's out the door. Meanwhile, unplanned equipment downtime eats margin with no record of why the line stopped, and raw material goes untracked between the storeroom and the shop floor.

Job costing blind spots

Material, machine time, and rework are rarely tied back to the job that used them — true cost is unknown until well after delivery.

Unplanned downtime

No preventive schedule, no breakdown log — "the line was down" is as much detail as anyone gets.

Raw material shrinkage

Sheet metal, bar stock, and alloys go untracked between the storeroom and the shop floor until the next stock-take.
