Metal Fabrication
When a Metal Job Runs Over Its Quote, the Shop Often Finds Out Too Late
Each job is different: material, cutting, welding, finishing. When the quote does not match the real hours and the material used, the shop finds out only when the invoice goes out, if at all.
How InnovanSIS helps
What We Set Up Around Your Day
Quotes built from materials and hours
The quote lists material, operations and expected time, so you can compare it with what the job actually used.
Operations in the order they run
Cutting, welding and finishing are steps in a work order, each with its time, so the shop floor knows what is next.
Sheets, bars and offcuts accounted for
Raw material is counted by type and size, with purchase orders raised before a job is blocked by a missing sheet.
Apps we use
The Apps Behind It
Odoo Community apps, the free open-source edition, set up around how your business works.
Manufacturing
Work orders with operations, work centers and recorded times.
Sales
Custom quotes that become orders and production.
Inventory
Raw material by type and size, plus finished parts.
Purchase
Material orders from steel and hardware suppliers.
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance for machines and tools.
Needs a Paid Edition or Custom Work
Some needs go beyond the Community apps. We say so before quoting.
Planning
Shop scheduling by machine and shift, as a paid edition app.
We work with Odoo Community, the open-source edition. InnovanSIS is an independent company, founded by Cuban entrepreneurs, that sets it up around your business; we are not Odoo. Anything marked paid belongs to a paid Odoo edition or to custom work, and we state that before quoting.
Questions
Common Questions
Not out of the box. Connections to machines are custom projects, and we evaluate them case by case. Many shops get most of the value just from work orders and costs.
Yes, once hours and materials are recorded on the work order. The first few jobs are used to check that the numbers make sense.
No. We separate what is worth counting from small supplies that are cheaper to buy in bulk and check by sight.
