What a sheet metal shop needs from an ERP
Laser, press-brake and CNC shops work to customer purchase orders with exact material, thickness and dimensions. The daily pain is retyping those orders, remaking papers and not knowing who to call about money.
Purchase orders, from the email to the order
Connect Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook or any IMAP mailbox. A purchase order shows as a review row with the item, material, thickness, dimensions, quantity, unit rate, order value and delivery deadline, each with a confidence score. Anything the reader is unsure of waits for a person. When the row looks right, you press Accept and the order is made.
Who owes you, oldest first
The clients ledger lists what each customer owes by age, most overdue first, with a ready 60+ days list, statements and a credit limit per customer.
Documents and challans
Quotations, proforma invoices, tax invoices and challans are made in Fab ERP and shared on WhatsApp. A won quotation becomes an order.
What it does not do
Fab ERP does not do nesting or machine programming, and it is not a CAD tool. It does not file returns. It is for the orders, papers and dues around the machine.
Questions
