Real fabrication shops. Real results. Here's how shops like yours use FabFlow to quote faster, track work, and grow.
25 employees · 15,000 sq ft · Illinois — A precision sheet metal shop serving OEMs in agriculture and construction equipment. They were quoting 60-80 jobs per week using Excel spreadsheets and a shared network drive.
Quotes took 45-60 minutes each. Estimators dug through email threads for material pricing, guessed at labor times, and often lost track of which version of a quote the customer had approved. "We lost at least two jobs a month because we couldn't get the quote back fast enough," their owner told us. On the shop floor, a whiteboard tracked 40+ active jobs — and it was wrong half the time.
Midwest Metal started their FabFlow trial on a Monday. By Wednesday, their lead estimator had quoted 14 jobs — more than she typically quoted in a full week. They imported 200+ customers from their existing spreadsheet and had their entire team running on the shop floor kiosk by day four.
40 employees · 30,000 sq ft · Michigan — A structural steel fabricator producing building frames, mezzanines, and industrial platforms. They were evaluating three ERP systems before discovering FabFlow.
Great Lakes ran on JobBOSS for 8 years but never fully adopted it. "Our guys hated using it. It took 45 minutes just to look up a work order status. We spent $30K on implementation and still used spreadsheets for quoting." They needed something their shop floor would actually use — not another system that collected dust.
They imported 5 years of historical data and ran FabFlow alongside JobBOSS for two weeks. By week two, the shop floor had fully switched to the FabFlow kiosk. The plant floor tracker gave their production manager a live view of every job — something they'd never had before. They cancelled JobBOSS at the end of the month.
