One order can be twenty different windows and doors, and the whole thing gets priced properly once, in the program that draws it. Then somebody types it all out again so the shop can build it. Factory imports that priced job without it being manually re-entered, tracks it through the shop, and shows what the job made.

Want to pick a time instead? Book a demoYou already price the job properly, in the program that draws it. What you do not have is a way to get that out of there and into something that runs the shop, so it ends up getting re-entered manually into multiple systems. Factory takes in what you have already priced, without anyone typing it a second time, and shows what every job made, before the job is finished.
You designed and estimated the job somewhere already, whether that is V6, LogiKal or something else, and then nothing moves until someone enters every window and door into the office system a second time. Keep designing and estimating where you do now: the AI Importer reads the file your estimating program exports and builds the order in Factory.
A product kit breaks a finished window down into what it takes to make: profile, glass, hardware, gaskets and the hours to cut, glaze and finish it, at your own rates. Kits can come in with the job you import, already priced, or you can build and change them in Factory: start from a template and adjust what this job needs, or make a one-off. Either way, Factory works out the price from the parts and hours in it.
That is three different lots of people on one job, and all of it has to sit on the same schedule. Factory shows the measure, the fabrication and the install together, so you are not planning the shop off half the picture.
The difference only turns up in the hours and the material that actually went on it. Factory puts both against what you quoted, so you see what a job is making while it's still on the floor - not months later at tax time.
"Factory allows me to create a work order, generate invoices, schedule deliveries, manage contacts, and notify customers all in one place."
"My husband, who is not technical at all, can actually jump in and do his own invoices - and now raves about it to all his mates."

"The list of things I love about Factory is long. It's helped us exponentially in our business."

"We've used it for a few years at my other business and found it seamless."

We ran our own custom fab shop, and every tool out there was an enterprise ERP built for the big 5%, or made by people who never worked in the industry. Nothing fit shops like ours. So we built it ourselves - not just for our shop, but for every custom fab shop that's outgrown the spreadsheet but has no business buying an ERP.
"You're buying from a family that ran a fab shop for almost 50 years - and built the software it always needed."

Bring a job you priced in V6 or LogiKal, and your own price list. We will import it and build the kits from it with you on the call, so you are looking at windows and doors you have already designed.
