Tolerances, coatings, materials — quoted accurately for every permutation.
Material grades, coating specifications, tolerance requirements, and quantity breaks — configured by your distributors and quoted in real time. No manual estimating. No spreadsheet lookups.
Custom parts. Custom pricing. Manual everything.
Material and coating combinations
Steel, aluminum, stainless, brass — each with different coating options, lead times, and price points. Distributors don’t know which combinations you support.
Tolerance and certification requirements
Tight tolerances require different tooling and QC processes. Certifications (ASTM, ISO, mil-spec) affect material sourcing and documentation.
Quantity break pricing
Price per unit drops at 10, 50, 100, 500 pieces — but varies by material, complexity, and setup time. Quoting each manually takes hours.
Drawing and spec management
Distributors send sketches, PDFs, and verbal descriptions. Your estimating team interprets, quotes, and re-quotes when specs change mid-order.
Structured configuration. Accurate quotes. Every time.
Your product rules enforce valid material and coating combinations. Pricing calculates from the spec. Routing generates from the configuration.
Material & Coating Rules
Define which coatings are compatible with which materials. Invalid combinations never appear. Distributors configure within the guardrails.
Quantity-Based Pricing
Price breaks by volume, material, and complexity. The system calculates the correct tier automatically — no manual lookup.
Tolerance Validation
Numeric constraints enforce min/max dimensions and tolerance ranges. Out-of-spec requests flagged before submission.
BOM & Operations Routing
Raw material, tooling, and secondary operations generated from the configuration. Each part gets a routing sheet with setup and run times.
QC Checkpoints
Quality inspection steps inserted into the workflow based on certification requirements and tolerance class. Nothing ships without sign-off.
Distributor Portal
Your brand, your catalog. Distributors configure parts, see quantity pricing, and submit orders — 24/7, without waiting for a quote callback.
Distributor specifies. System quotes. Shop fabricates.
Distributor Configures
Selects material, dimensions, tolerances, coating, and quantity. Price calculates in real time. Invalid specs blocked.
Order Submits
Quantity breaks applied. Lead time estimated. Certification requirements flagged. Confirmation sent. You review and approve.
Work Orders Generate
Each line item becomes a work order with material specs, tooling requirements, operation sequence, and QC checkpoints.
Shop Floor Fabricates
Stations see their queue by operation type. Material consumed. Time tracked. QC inspections completed. Parts ship with documentation.
Bar, tube, and angle — planned to the last drop.
Frame rails, cross members, and uprights pack across your 20-foot and 24-foot sticks with the kerf your saw actually takes. Drops above your minimum go back on the rack as tracked remnants; the next job's plan pulls them first, so short stock stops accumulating in the corner.
Try it below with a fabrication cut list — then change a quantity and watch the stick count respond.
