Metal & Fabrication

Every fabrication job is a custom build with its own drawings, material and machine time, where a mis-quote means working for free. Autroid tracks each job from quote to dispatch, costs material and time accurately, and protects the margin on every order.

Challenge → solution

What metal fabrication businesses struggle with.

And how Autroid solves each one — with the module that does it.

The challenge
Custom job costing is guesswork, so quotes are often wrong.
The Autroid way
Quotes capture material and machine-time estimates; jobs track actuals against them.
Quotes & Proposals
The challenge
Material consumption per job is untracked.
The Autroid way
Production work orders consume raw stock per job, costing it accurately.
Production & BoM
The challenge
Job-work billing and material cost don't reconcile.
The Autroid way
Job invoices post with true material and labour cost to the single ledger.
GST Invoicing & Payments
Recommended modules

The modules built for metal fabrication.

Every module sits on one single ledger — one source of truth, no integrations, no sync lag.

Production & BoM

Bills of materials, production runs and work orders that consume raw stock and yield finished goods.

Quotes & Proposals

Build, send and e-sign quotes; an accepted quote becomes an order and posts to the pipeline.

Work Order Lifecycle

Intake → estimate → schedule → execute → QC → invoice, with staff assignment and time tracking — for any service job.

Purchase & Vendors

Purchase orders, vendor bills and goods receipt — three-way matched against the ledger.

GST Invoicing & Payments

GST-computed invoices, WhatsApp payment links, partial payments and auto-reconciliation.

Real-Time Analytics

P&L that updates within 30s of every event — revenue, labour, parts by branch, by day.
