The detail you need. The clarity your team needs.
Plan a complex assembly in the office. Keep the next job clear on the floor. MetalShopHQ connects estimates, drawings, materials, time, and costs so your team can follow the work from quote to invoice.
Keep complex jobs organised
Assemblies, subassemblies, and parts in one clear hierarchy.
See what you’re building
The 3D model stays beside the part you’re working on.
Know what goes into the price
Plan setup, production, and outside processing for each part.
One connected shop
Step back. See where every job stands.
Detailed estimating and a simple daily overview belong together. Your team can see which jobs are being quoted, which are ready to build, and which are already on the floor.
The problem.
- Jobs live in folders, on whiteboards, and in three different inboxes.
- Time sheets show up on Friday — by then it’s too late to fix anything.
- Drawings get printed, lost, and reprinted from old revisions.
- POs and invoices flow through email and personal spreadsheets.
- Big-name ERPs are built for assembly lines, not custom fabrication.
What you get.
- A live jobs board from quote to shipped — visible on the floor.
- Drawings on every job — PDF, DWG, STEP, photos — accessible by the people building it.
- Time logged to the job, not the week. Managers approve before payroll.
- Inventory and POs with low-stock alerts and supplier emails.
- AI invoice entry — photograph or upload it, review the extracted lines, and build job-cost and price history.
- Role-based access — floor staff never see costs they shouldn’t.
From paperwork to useful data
Take a photo. Review the result. Keep moving.
AI handles the invoice transcription while your team stays in control of where every cost belongs.
- Line items and prices extracted
- Costs assigned to the right job
- Item price history grows over time
