Your shop floor, accessible from anywhere.
Paper job folders, whiteboards, and bulletin boards work — until they don’t. As your shop grows, the wall stops scaling. MetalShopHQ replaces the physical clutter with software purpose-built for metal fabrication and accessible to every team member, from the office to the floor to the road.
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 document ingest — drop a supplier PDF, get a draft PO.
- Role-based access— floor staff never see costs they shouldn’t.
