Metal Fabrication Software
ERP for metal fabricators. Nesting optimization, material tracking, welding procedures, and job costing for custom fabrication shops.
Metal Fabrication
Built for Custom Metal Fabrication Shops
Manage custom jobs, track materials, optimize cutting, and control every work order from quote to delivery.
Job Shop Control
Work Order Tracking
Real-time job status and shop floor visibility
Material Management
Track sheet stock, remnants, and raw materials
Cut List Optimization
Reduce waste with nesting and optimization
Metal fabrication ERP software manages the unique demands of custom job shops: variable material sizes, cut-list optimization, multi-operation routing (cut, punch, bend, weld, finish), and real-time tracking of steel and aluminum stock by thickness, alloy, and grade. MonitorZ combines work order management, material traceability, and shop floor control in one platform purpose-built for fab shops.
The key difference from generic ERP: fab shop software must handle infinite job variety and track materials at the piece level, not just the bin level.
