Metal fabrication CPQ for railings, fencing and gates, enclosures, brackets, and frames sold through dealers and distributors. Run length, gauge, material, finish, and cutouts become fields with your rules behind them, so the price is right the first time and the work order is complete.

Gauge, material, run length, finish, cutouts. Here is where fabrication orders go wrong today, and what changes when your rules drive the form.
14 or 16 gauge. Cold-rolled, galvanized, stainless, aluminum. Not every gauge comes in every material, and the price moves with both.
Guided rules offer only the gauges you run for the chosen material and say why the rest are disabled. Price grids key on any two dimensions, like size × gauge.
Product StudioRuns priced by the linear foot, with a post every six feet, corners, end caps, and a gate or two. Someone counts the parts by hand on every quote.
Run length is a field. Posts, caps, and brackets come from rules on the bill of materials, and gates are options with their own hardware, price, and production step.
Product StudioPowder coat in a stock color or a custom match, galvanized, or mill finish. Custom colors carry a setup charge that someone forgets to add.
Finishes are a collection with % or $ upcharges. An auto formula adds the custom-color charge to the order and recalculates when the order changes. We set up the formula with you.
Pricing EngineKnockouts, window cutouts, louvers, mounting holes. Each one changes the part, the material, and the machine time.
Cutouts are fields with limits and rules. Their positions show on the work order, and routing conditions add the steps and time estimates a part needs only when it needs them.
Production & Shop FloorA tight-tolerance part needs a different inspection, and the shop needs to know before the blank is cut, not after.
Validations hold sizes to your limits before the dealer can submit. A tight-tolerance option adds a QC step with its own instructions, and operators acknowledge station notes before they start.
Production & Shop FloorThe same bracket, 200 at a time, at a price that depends on who's ordering and what they negotiated.
Dealer and dealer-group discounts, per-dealer price multipliers, and payment terms apply automatically. Dealers order from the portal, or from their own system through the dealer REST API.
Dealer PortalWhen an order goes In Process, every unit gets a work order with its materials, instructions, and routing. The route comes from the product definition, so an enclosure with a hinged door picks up its door step and a cover-only box skips it.
Flat blanks cut, with knockouts and windows at the positions entered.
Bends in sequence, per the station instructions.
MIG for steel, TIG when the material calls for it.
Pretreat and coat in the color on the order.
Door, latches, and gasket fitted.
IF HINGED DOORDimensions, square, and finish. Signature to complete.
Traveler label prints the moment the step completes.
BOM, configuration, and instructions are snapshotted when the order goes In Process. No re-keying.
Pick, Build, Finish with one big button. Operators report problems and acknowledge station notes.
Barcode labels for every piece, auto-printed to Zebra, Brother, or Dymo printers.
On the Everything plan, orders reserve sheet and bar stock, shortages are flagged, and a nightly scan proposes POs.
Yes. Each field carries your rules: gauges limited by material, finishes limited by gauge, sizes held to your minimum and maximum. Disabled options show the reason, and price grids can key on any two dimensions, such as size × gauge.
Yes. Run length is a field like width and height, and the price comes from your per-foot rate for the style, material, and finish. Posts, caps, and brackets are counted by rules on the BOM, and gates are options with their own hardware and price.
Yes. The dealer REST API lets a dealer place orders from their own system, and signed webhooks tell that system when an order's status changes. We issue the API keys.
Yes. Routing steps can depend on product options, so a tight-tolerance part picks up its QC step and instructions automatically. Operators sign to complete, and problem reports flag quality issues for rework.
On the Everything plan, yes. Orders reserve materials, shortages are flagged, and a nightly replenishment scan proposes purchase orders to your vendors. Negative stock never blocks production.
Pick the railing, gate, or enclosure that eats the most estimating time. We'll walk through how its rules, price, and routing would run in Painless.
