Workflow

Built around the real duct order lifecycle.

Generic construction software can store a note. Field to Fab knows the work: fittings, measurements, photos, fabrication queues, cut sheets, delivery runs, and job-level history.

Capture field conditions

Foremen submit measurements, notes, photos, and sketches while the job is still fresh.

Review in the shop

Shop users accept, clarify, fabricate, and print from one organized order queue.

Build with confidence

Piece-level tracking and cut sheets keep the floor aligned on dimensions and priority.

Deliver with proof

Drivers receive assignments and the shop keeps visibility through the last handoff.

Articles
