Saw, burn, brake, weld and paint on one schedule, with material shortages flagged before the job hits the floor.
How your shop is set up
Work centres
Saw, plasma, press brake, drill, weld bays, paint.
Multi-level BOMs
Assemblies, sub-assemblies, plate parts and hardware.
Routings
Operations with hours, load and unload time.
Outside processes
Galvanizing and machining as vendor operations.
How a job runs
- Step 1
Quote becomes a sales order with the BOM.
- Step 2
Work orders schedule across work centres.
- Step 3
MRP checks stock and drafts steel POs.
- Step 4
The crew logs time per operation; you see actual vs estimated.
What you build and buy
Why metal fabrication & structural steel businesses switch
Small fab shops often run on JobBOSS² on a Windows server, Excel and a whiteboard, or nothing at all. TrueScope gives them work orders, MRP and scheduling in the browser — plus takeoffs and drawings — for $20 per user.
Setup tip
Start with five work centres and one routing per product family; add detail once the schedule is in daily use.
Common questions
Yes. The Work View schedule shows each work order's operations by work centre and time.
Not yet. Nesting and cut optimisation still happen in your burn table or saw software.
