Metal America

Metal fabrication ERP and shop-floor control

Metal America connects estimating to the shop floor. Quotes generate routings, routings generate work orders, and operators report progress at the station — so cost, capacity and delivery stay honest.

Business problems solved

What was broken

Quotes miss true cost

Estimates ignore actual machine time and scrap, destroying margin.

No shop-floor visibility

Nobody knows where a job is until someone walks the floor.

Disconnected systems

Accounting, inventory and production never agree.

Primary features

What we built

Estimating & nesting

Material yield and machine time modeled into every quote.

Work order routing

Operations sequenced by work center with capacity checks.

Shop-floor terminal

Operators clock operations, report scrap and flag issues.

ERP integrations

Bi-directional sync with accounting and inventory systems.
