Workshop software ยท Made in South Africa

Cut it. Run it. Track it. Inspect it.

Fabricata is a family of four tools for South African steel fabricators: Cut, Flow, Track and Inspect. Each one does one job well and stands on its own, so you can start with the tool you need and add the next when you are ready.

The four tools

Start with the stage of the workshop you want to fix first.

Nothing here makes you buy all four. Each tool has its own sign-in, its own data and its own plan.

  • Fabricata Cut

    Steel cutting optimisation

    Cutting lists, stock lengths, offcuts and traceability. Use warehouse stock and offcuts first, and hand the saw an operator-ready list.

    • Project cut lists with stock lengths and offcuts
    • Optimise for waste, bars, warehouse, offcuts, cost or a balance
    • Cutting lists, labels and a traceability report

  • Fabricata Flow

    Early access

    Job cards and workshop tracking

    Every job, every stage, from order to dispatch. Printed job cards with a live view of who is on what and what is holding it up.

    • A4 job cards with stages, sign-off boxes and a QR code
    • A live view of every job: its stage, who is on it, what is late
    • Blocked stages carry a reason and tell the person responsible

  • Fabricata Track

    Project and production progress

    Assemblies and parts ticked through each workshop stage, progress in earned tonnes, and a schedule measured against its baseline.

    • Tekla assembly and part lists imported and checked before anything is saved
    • Progress in earned tonnes, never double counted
    • Baseline, forecast and actual dates, with a reason recorded when a date slips

    • Photographs taken on the workshop floor, kept as the photographic record
    • Findings and non-conformances, with release decisions
    • Document-controlled reports your client can sign

How they fit

One job, four moments.

A steel job passes through the same stages in most workshops. Each Fabricata tool covers one of them.

    Plan the steel

    Turn a cutting list into an optimised plan that uses stock and offcuts first.

Today each tool keeps its own workspace and its own data.

Plans

Pay for the tools you use.

Each tool has its own plan and its own billing, so you only pay for the part of the workshop you are fixing. Prices are shown on each tool's own site.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do I need all four tools?
No. Each tool stands on its own and has its own plan. Most workshops start with the one closest to the problem they have today.
Do the tools share my data?
No. Each tool keeps its own database and its own workspace, so what you store in one is not visible in another.
How do I sign in?
Open the tool you use and sign in there; each tool has its own sign-in for now.
What does it cost?
Each tool has its own plan. Prices are set per tool and shown on that tool's own site.
Is Fabricata made for South African workshops?
Yes. Fabricata is made in South Africa for structural steel fabricators and workshops.
