Competitive Analysis · Contractor & Fabrication ERP
The Only Platform Built for Contractors Who Also Fabricate.
One unified system from first estimate to shop floor — not a horizontal CRM, not a siloed calculator.
Early Access: $79/mo (Starting August) — Standard Platform, No Custom Builds
The Horizontal CRM Problem
Price isn't the issue — horizontal design is.
Jobber and HouseCall Pro are budget-friendly. ServiceTitan is enterprise-grade at $300+ per user per month. All of them are built for field service — not for shops that quote coil, optimize cuts, and run production on the same floor.
100% horizontal — zero fabrication depth
Jobber and HouseCall Pro are affordable and easy to adopt. ServiceTitan is powerful at scale — often $300+ per user per month. None of them were built for coil yield, slope multipliers, or shop-floor production.
No coil math or 2D bin-packing
Horizontal CRMs handle leads, scheduling, and invoicing well. They cannot calculate coil math, slope/waste multipliers, or 2D bin-packing for sheet and trim layouts. Fabricators still bolt on spreadsheets or a separate calculator.
No shop-floor MES
There is no 7-step production workflow connecting won jobs to cut lists, crew assignment, and roll-former export. The CRM tracks field work; fabrication runs elsewhere.
The Manufacturing Tool Problem
Two extremes — neither runs your whole business.
Cheap calculators and enterprise CAM sit at opposite ends of the price spectrum. Both leave your CRM, pipeline, and shop-floor workflow disconnected.
MetalOpt (~$65), CutList Optimizer (free tier)
Accurate cuts, zero business context
These tools optimize material layouts at low cost — but they are siloed, often desktop-bound, and have no CRM, pipeline, invoicing, or job costing. Every won job gets re-keyed by hand.
PLUS 2D, bespoke ERP integrations
Deep math, tens of thousands upfront
Enterprise CAM and custom ERP builds deliver serious fabrication math — but typically cost tens of thousands of dollars, take months to implement, and still lack field-service CRM tools your contracting side needs.
