Custom software for welding and metal fab shops
Material prices move, and a quote built on last month's numbers quietly hands back the margin. We build the piece that plugs the leak, whether it's quoting, material and cut tracking, or job status, and you own the code. Fixed price.
Where the margin hides
Some shops have quoting tight. Others are bidding off a price sheet that's always a little behind, so a job booked at last month's steel price comes in under water and nobody sees it until the numbers get run. For shops doing structural or food-grade work, it's often the paperwork: weld maps, material certs, and inspection records that all have to line up before a job ships or passes an audit. For others it's simply knowing what's cut, what's welded, and what's still on the rack.
We don't assume which one is yours. We start by walking a job from quote to cut to invoice, and asking where the number gets fuzzy.
What we could build
If quoting's the leak, we'd build the tool that prices off current material and stock, applies your margins, and keeps the history so you can see what a job actually returned, not what you bid. If it's the paperwork, we'd tie certs, weld maps, and inspection records to the job so a structural or food-grade audit is a search, not a scramble. If it's tracking, we'd put what's cut, welded, and shipped on one board everyone reads the same way. Whatever the real leak is, that's what we build.
Let's figure out what's worth building.
Walk us through how a job goes from quote to invoice, and where the number gets fuzzy. We'll find the first build that tightens it up.
