METAL & STEEL FABRICATION

Quote it straight from the model.

Draw the hall or import the detailing. The offer, steel list, purchase plan, cutting, checks and delivery all work from that one model — so the steel you quoted is the steel you buy, cut and ship.

01Time back

Stop doing it by hand.

Every hour spent retyping lists, recounting steel and phoning the workshop is an hour not spent winning the next order. These are the jobs Factory OS takes off your desk.

  • № 01Metal OS

    By handCounting steel for the offer with a calculator.

    With Factory OSDraw the hall in 3D. The offer, steel list and weights come from the same model.

  • № 02Metal OS

    With Factory OSPrint an A3 presentation sheet for the investor and an erection manual for the crew — straight from the project.

  • № 03Metal OS

    With Factory OSConfirmed projects become a purchase plan: full bars, netted against stock, one order per supplier.

02The work, in detail

One project. One plan. Nothing retyped.

The office, the saw and the site crew all see the same job — what it needs, who is on it and what is ready to leave.

  1. 01

    Price it from the model

    Model the structure or review imported parts. Bring quantities, material estimates and pricing together before engineering approval.

  2. 02

    Buy only what the job needs

    Use the released design to check material demand against stock and open orders, prepare purchases and schedule machines and teams.

  3. 03

    Cut to plan, keep the remnants

    Create batches, prepare bar cutting plans and issue the material. Record completed cuts and measured remnants as work progresses.

  4. 04

    Catch problems before the client does

    Follow workshop stages, record part inspections and resolve holds. Compare recorded project costs with the budget as the job moves forward.

  5. 05

    Ship exactly what was approved

    Pack ready parts, organise dispatches and check delivered quantities against the approved project.

03From the design to the work

THE FABRICATION RECORD

A clear record for each part.

The approved revision gives the workshop its part list. Cutting, checks and packing build on that record.

Illustrative workflow · Sample dataPart identity stays in view as the work progresses.
01

Quote with the work in view

Connect the 3D model to part quantities, steel weight and offer lines. Review the engineering and the commercial picture before committing the job to production.

02

Buy for the jobs ahead

See material demand alongside available stock and open purchase orders. Group shortages by supplier and follow received quantities.

03

See the pressure on your workshop

Plan machines and teams around shifts, setup time and job dependencies. See capacity conflicts and work that cannot fit the schedule.

04

Keep material under control

Follow stock issued to each batch, confirmed cuts and reusable remnants, with linked lots, heat numbers and available material certificates.

05

Make quality visible

Record checks against the affected parts. Keep failures, repairs and reinspection together, with holds that stop unresolved work moving forward.

06

See the margin before it disappears

Compare the project budget with costs recorded to date. See where labour, material, machine time, waste and rework put pressure on the job.

04File exchange & handoff

Works with the files you already have.

Bring parts in from Advance Steel and other detailing tools, keep the original drawings with the project and send reviewed geometry back to the workshop. Every import is checked before anything is saved.

DSTV / NC1 · import
Supported part files, including exports from Autodesk Advance Steel, with profile, quantity and geometry review.
CSV · import / CSV & JSON · export
Import part lists and export reviewed cut schedules for workshop preparation.
IFC · import
Review supported steel members with a constant section in 3D, link profiles to stock and identify excluded geometry.
DWG + GLB · reference
Keep the original drawing and an optional matching 3D preview with the project. References do not generate manufacturing parts.
DXF / NC1 · geometry export
Export supported plate geometry and confirmed I/U profiles from the released revision. Review and prepare these files for the machine in use.

AI built in

It does the paperwork. You make the calls.

AI is built into the system, not bolted on. It reads your numbers, answers your questions, types in your invoices and writes your posts — and nothing happens until you say so.

  • Example

    AI analyst

    A verdict on your business.

    One click scores the business from 1 to 10 using your own numbers — revenue, costs, unpaid invoices, clients and stock — and explains it: findings, risks, opportunities and a 30/60/90-day plan.

  • Example

    AI assistant

    Talk to your business.

    Ask in plain words, typed or spoken: who to call this week, how the month is going. The assistant looks up your records to answer, runs nine anomaly checks and prepares a daily brief.

  • Example

    AI Scan

    Photograph it. Done.

    Photograph a supplier invoice and AI reads it into your expenses for you to check. In Metal OS, purchase invoices go straight into stock; in Kitchens, a sketch photo becomes a draft layout.

  • Example

    AI marketing

    Posts that write themselves.

    Turn photos of your own work into social posts with captions, and let AI write the text for your website.

AI suggests; people decide. Monthly AI credits are included with Metal OS, Windows & Doors and Kitchens & Furniture.

B2B PARTNER PORTAL

Your dealers sell.Your factory builds.

Give every dealer, installer and reseller their own portal. They configure your products, see their price, send their client a branded offer and order from you — without a phone call, and without ever seeing your costs.

Your dealers & installers

Quotes, orders and their own clients in one place — any time, in their own language.

YOUR FACTORYFACTORY OSPartner portal
HOW IT CONNECTS

One portal for your partners, shaped around what your factory makes.

  • They sign up. You approve.

    Dealers register themselves; you approve each one and set their terms — your margin per partner and discounts per product category.

  • Your products, priced live.

    Partners configure in a live drawing and see their price as they go — always from your current price book, never an old spreadsheet.

  • They sell under their own brand.

    Their logo, their terms, their markup, up to three discounts per line and VAT. Your name and your price never appear on the offer their client gets.

  • Your costs stay yours.

    Partners see their price and their client’s price. Never your costs, materials, stock or cutting lists.

  • No retyping. No misread orders.

    The accepted offer reaches your desk as the exact configuration. The material list, bars and stock deduction follow from the order drawings — and you lock it once production starts.

  • They see every order move.

    Confirmed, in production, ready, in transit, delivered — with the expected date and transport reference. Change a position, and the partner sees exactly what changed.

08Implementation

Switch without stopping the factory.

You keep working while we set it up. We start from one of your real jobs and build the system around the way your team already works.

  1. 01

    Start with a real job

    We walk through one of your projects together and find where time and money get lost between the office and the floor.

  2. 02

    Set it up your way

    Your products, prices, roles and modules — configured around how your workshop already runs, not the other way round.

  3. 03

    Bring your data, train your people

    We bring across the price lists, stock and customers you choose, and train each person on the screens they will actually use.

  4. 04

    Go live and grow

    Start with the agreed workflow, then switch on more as your team is ready — with the people who set it up still on hand.

SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN PROJECT

Bring one project. See the whole workflow.

Tell us what you make and where the work slows down. We’ll take one of your real projects through the system — from the first offer to the factory floor — so you see your own work in it, not a sales slideshow.

Your request goes to the Bizzapify team. We’ll use these details to respond to your enquiry.
