Metal fabrication manufacturers face mounting pressure from fluctuating material costs, skilled labor shortages, and demands for faster turnaround times without sacrificing quality. Syspro’s purpose-built digital solution gives you real-time control over every aspect of your operations; from CAD-integrated quoting and job nesting to shop floor execution and delivery.
Whether you run a custom job shop or high-volume production facility, our platform connects design, production, costing, and back-office functions so you can respond faster to customer demands, optimize material usage, and maintain the precision your reputation depends on.
Advanced nesting algorithms and real-time material tracking help you optimize sheet utilization and reduce scrap. Control costs even as material prices fluctuate, and gain visibility into every cut, bend, and weld across your production floor.
Integrate CAD designs directly into accurate, competitive quotes with real-time costing through our job costing software. Streamline job routing, eliminate manual handoffs, and give customers faster responses—turning more quotes into orders and improving cash flow.
Track job progress, machine utilization, and labor efficiency as work happens on your shop floor. Identify bottlenecks immediately, adjust schedules on the fly, and keep customers informed with accurate delivery commitments.
Maintain full material genealogy and production records for every job. Meet industry certifications and customer quality requirements with automated documentation, giving you audit-ready traceability from raw material to finished product.
Handle increasing order volumes and product complexity without overwhelming your team. Our fabrication scheduling solution grows with your business, supporting multiple facilities, diverse product lines, and evolving customer requirements while maintaining operational control.
Equip fabricators with intuitive shop floor interfaces that eliminate paperwork and reduce errors. Give supervisors dashboards that enable proactive decisions, and provide leadership with insights that drive continuous improvement across your operation.
CAD-Integrated Estimating and Quoting
Import designs directly from CAD systems to generate accurate material requirements, labor estimates, and competitive quotes. Eliminate manual takeoffs and reduce quoting time from days to hours while improving accuracy.
Advanced Production Planning and Scheduling
Optimize job sequencing based on machine capacity, material availability, and delivery dates. Leverage finite scheduling to maximize throughput while maintaining flexibility to accommodate rush orders and engineering changes.
Shop Floor Data Collection and Tracking
Capture real-time job progress, labor hours, and machine performance directly from the production floor. Provide operators with clear work instructions and enable supervisors to monitor efficiency, quality, and completion status across all work centers.
Material Nesting and Optimization
Reduce material waste through intelligent nesting algorithms that maximize sheet utilization. Track remnants for reuse, manage inventory more efficiently, and lower material costs even as market prices rise.
Job Costing and Financial Control
Monitor actual costs against estimates throughout production to protect margins on every job. Gain visibility into material usage, labor efficiency, and overhead allocation, enabling you to price competitively while maintaining profitability.
Quality Management and Traceability
Document inspections, certifications, and test results throughout the production process. Maintain complete material genealogy and production records to meet customer specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements with confidence.
Metal fabrication requires tight integration between design, estimating, production, and quality control. A purpose-built platform connects these functions in real-time, eliminating manual data entry and communication gaps. This gives you faster quote turnaround, better material utilization, accurate job costing, and complete traceability—capabilities that generic business software simply can’t deliver for the unique demands of fabricated metals manufacturing.
Syspro is designed for the engineering-to-order and make-to-order environments common in metal fabrication. Our platform manages unique job specifications, custom BOMs, flexible routing, and variable costing while maintaining real-time visibility across all active jobs. You can handle hundreds of concurrent custom orders without losing control of schedules, costs, or quality requirements.
Yes. Syspro integrates with major CAD platforms to import designs directly into your estimating and production processes. For shop floor equipment, our flexible data collection framework connects with CNC machines, laser cutters, and other fabrication equipment to capture real-time production data. These integrations eliminate manual data entry and keep your digital and physical operations synchronized.
Syspro provides real-time material cost tracking and what-if analysis tools that help you adjust pricing strategies as market conditions change. The platform tracks material commitments, monitors actual versus estimated costs on active jobs, and helps you optimize purchasing decisions. You can protect margins by quickly identifying cost overruns and making informed decisions about pricing, sourcing, and production methods.
You get real-time dashboards showing job status, machine utilization, labor efficiency, and schedule adherence across your entire operation. Shop floor data collection captures progress as it happens, giving supervisors immediate visibility into bottlenecks and enabling proactive responses. Leadership gains insights into overall performance metrics, helping drive continuous improvement in throughput, quality, and on-time delivery.
Implementation timelines vary based on your company size, complexity, and specific requirements. Most metal fabricators see phased implementations ranging from 3-9 months, with critical functions like estimating, job tracking, and financial management deployed first. Syspro’s implementation methodology focuses on getting you operational quickly while building toward comprehensive functionality that transforms your entire operation.
