Inventory Management Software for Welding & Fabrication Shops

Job costing with consumable tracking that calculates wire, rod, and gas usage per joint type and project. Software for tracking stock levels, managing purchase orders, and controlling inventory across warehouses and vehicles.

Challenges Welding Businesses Face

If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most welding businesses deal with these every day.

Job costing that misses consumable costs — wire, gas, and rod usage that varies significantly by project

Welder certification tracking where expired AWS or CWB qualifications jeopardize your ability to bid certified work

Custom fabrication quotes that take hours to build from scratch because there is no standard estimating template

Quality documentation requirements on structural and pressure vessel work that must survive inspection audits

Material price volatility on steel and aluminum that changes the profitability of a job between quote and start
