Material tracking, made easy — for metalworking shops
Material, parts and the assemblies you build from them. A tag on everything, a scan for every move, and one number that matters: what’s actually free to use, not just what’s in the building.
Fabrication, machine, wood, and general job shops. Runs in a browser on any tablet or phone — no app, no servers, no IT guy.
On the floor
Every screen a material handler sees is one scan and a number. No menus to dig through, no training manual — if you can run a forklift, you already know how to run this.
Scan it in off the truck. PO and heat number straight from the mill tag. Labels print on the spot.
Scan the tag, punch how many pieces. Job-bound pulls print labels with the job number on them.
Write it off with a reason. It feeds the waste report instead of disappearing quietly.
Scan the material, scan the rack. Everything knows where it lives.
Scan a rack to see what's on it, or search a material to see where it is.
Plus a reference shelf for the crew — weight calculator for stack estimates, alloy property lookups, and your shop's own color code chart.
Remnants
Cut a sheet, tag what's left. Every offcut goes back on the books as real, searchable stock — with its heat and PO carried forward so the paper trail never breaks.
For the office
Every scan on the floor writes one line to a permanent log. The office reads that log as answers: what's moving, what's sitting, what's getting wasted, and what to have on the rack before the next job needs it.
Consumption per material over time — the number behind smarter reorder points and stocking levels.
How much remnant gets reused versus scrapped, by alloy and profile. The fastest lever on your material spend.
Everything on hold, for which job, and how old. Stale holds release automatically so drops don't get orphaned.
Material that's been sitting untouched — the rack space and cash you forgot you were spending.
On-hand against the minimums you set, so purchasing hears about it before the saw does.
Every pull with its PO number and receive date — accounting traces straight back to invoice pricing, their way.
Traceability
Optional per entry, mandatory if your shop says so. Pull everything from heat 52B117 in one search when the inspector asks.
Captured off the delivery tag at receive. Every pound consumed traces back to the purchase it came in on.
Up to three bands per material, defined by your shop. Printed as text on every tag, shown in color on every screen — so the paint on the rack and the system always agree.
Parts & assemblies
Raw stock is half a shop's inventory. The other half is fasteners, fittings, tooling and the sub-assemblies you make over and over. Same tags, same scans, same one number that says what's actually free.
Counted by the piece rather than cut from stock. Your own categories, vendor and manufacturer part numbers, and part numbers generated for you. Expiration dates if you stock anything with a shelf life.
Save what goes into a weldment once. Say “build ten” and it holds the material, prints a pick list, and tells you what you're short on before anyone walks to the rack. Assemblies nest, so a table can call for four legs that are themselves built.
Build ten and receive eight because two got scrapped — that's a normal Tuesday, and nothing here argues with you about it. Pulling components and finishing the job stay separate, the way a shop floor actually runs.
Get started
Create your account, and your shop starts with a full standard material library loaded — alloys, profiles and common sizes — and you can add your own parts and assemblies alongside it. Add your racks, receive your first stick, print the tag.
Runs in any browser. Works with phone cameras and USB scanners — here's what you actually need.
