One shared view
The office and floor see the same job stage without another status meeting.
Files stay with the job
Drawings, photos, time, and purchasing history stay attached to the work.
The next step is obvious
Every job has an owner, a stage, and a clear path from quote to shipped.
A feedback loop built into every job
Every job leaves the next quote better informed.
MetalShopHQ connects what you expected a job to cost with what it actually cost. As work moves through the shop, real job costs and supplier prices become useful history for the next quote.
- 01Quote the work
- 02See quote vs. actual
- 03Build a price history
- 04Quote with better data
No separate data-entry project: the feedback loop grows from the quoting, time, purchasing, and invoice work your team is already doing.

AI removes the invoice typing
Photograph or upload a supplier invoice. AI extracts the supplier, line items, quantities, prices, and totals; your team reviews the result before it is applied.
QuickBooks Online integration included
Bring customers into MetalShopHQ and send completed invoices to QuickBooks for final review and sending, helping keep your accounting records authoritative.
Three steps from chaos to clarity.
Set up once. Get your team in. Run jobs the way your shop already runs them — but without the paper, the spreadsheets, and the phone calls.
Set up your shop
Name, locations, labor rates, categories. Five minutes of setup, then you’re live.
Get your team in
Invite by email. Pick a role — owner, purchaser, operator, shop staff, viewer — and they see exactly what they should.
Run jobs end-to-end
Quote → drawing → material ordered → ready to build → in build → done. Time logs and drawings stay with the job, not on the wall.
Shaped with working metal shops.
These shops work with us as development partners. They test real workflows, challenge assumptions, and tell us where MetalShopHQ needs to improve. They are not paid testimonials.
- Sea to Sky Welding
- Boondock Decks
- Carlsons Customs
Everything a metal shop actually needs.
Not another generic fabrication ERP. Built specifically for job shops by the people who run one.
Jobs board
Kanban from quote to shipped. Link jobs to customer invoice numbers. Auto-refresh on the shop floor.
Time tracking
Shop staff log hours to the job they’re actually on. Managers review and approve before payroll.
Drawings & files
PDFs, DWG, STEP, photos — uploaded to the job and visible to the people building it.
Inventory
Sheets, bars, hardware, consumables. Photos, SKU lookup, low-stock alerts.
Purchase orders
Draft, submit, track receiving. Email POs to suppliers as branded PDFs.
AI document ingest
Photograph or upload a supplier invoice. AI extracts the line items and costs; you review them before they update the job and price history.
Everyone sees what they should. Nobody sees what they shouldn’t.
Owners run the shop. Purchasers handle suppliers and costs. Operators manage stock. Shop staff see their assigned jobs, drawings, and time — but never costs or supplier prices. Viewers read everything, change nothing.
