Seeing profit, planning material

Sheet nesting inside estimates, scan-to-charge inventory, live commodity prices, and a profitability card that shows what every job really made.

· 9 updates

A busy shop and a profitable shop aren’t always the same shop. That gap is the reason Fabrication Plan exists, and in September we focused on what each job actually makes. To test it properly, we ran Fabrication Plan through a simulated year of a mature shop’s work and fixed what that shook loose.

  1. New

    Sheet nesting, built in

    Lay out parts on sheet stock right inside your estimate, so material quantities come from a real layout instead of a guess.

  2. New

    Scan a QR code, charge the material

    Workers scan stock to charge it to the job as they pull it. Inventory and job cost update on the spot.

  3. New

    Daily commodity price watch

    The estimate builder shows today's copper, aluminum, crude and fuel oil prices with the 24-hour change, so you see a price spike before you lock in a quote.

  4. New

    Your app, in your crew's language

    The full app is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog and Chinese, and new features arrive translated automatically.

  5. New

    Renewal reminders

    A friendly email a week before your subscription renews. No surprise charges.

  6. New

    See profit on every job

    A profitability card shows gross margin, net margin and dollars per hour for each job, with a clear good / watch / losing-money band.

  7. Design

    Dashboards that come alive

    Owner and office dashboards animate in, with needle dials, plain-word status, and color-coded revenue and cost.

    Before: Financial Rollup on the owner dashboard for the same shop

    After: Financial Rollup on the owner dashboard for the same shop

  8. Fixed

    Reports that crashed or hung

    The Labor Costs report could crash and Estimate Accuracy could hang. Both are fixed, and if one panel ever fails, the rest of the page keeps working.

  9. Better

    Reports that follow your dates

    Pick a date range and every number on the report follows it: labor, overtime, budgets and accuracy.

See it in your own shop.
