VFS · Virtual Fab Shop
For the shops that cut, form, and fabricate architectural metal. Read the drawings, price the job, build the production package, and invoice it, without CAD or drafting. It works the way your shop already works, and gets sharper every job.
No CAD. No training. No IT department. If you can send an email, you can run it.
What VFS does
Column covers, wall panels, trim, railings, sunshades, whatever comes across your bench. Everything the office side of a fab shop grinds through by hand, handled, with you signing off at every step.
Send the drawings and get a priced quote your customer can e-sign, in minutes. It reads the parts, counts, and dimensions for you.
Cut lists, part marks, bend sequences, and shop paperwork built straight from the approved job, ready for the brake, the shear, and the floor.
The approved job becomes the invoice. No re-typing, no missed line items, no arguing over what was quoted.
Hands off to your CRM, like Odoo, so the office stays in sync without anyone entering the same job twice.
How it works
However the job walks in the door, VFS meets it there. No file conversions, no special format, no learning curve.
A sketch, a PDF, an email, a field measurement, even a photo of a hand drawing.
Parts, counts, dimensions, and a quote your customer can e-sign, in minutes.
Look it over, fix anything, sign off. You are always the last word.
Production paperwork, the invoice, and the hand-off to your CRM. Sent to the floor.
Who VFS is for
Built with real fabricators, for the people who would rather be on the floor than stuck in front of a computer. If you have been quoting off a spreadsheet and re-typing everything three times, this is for you.
"It does the part I hate, and leaves me the part I'm good at."
You have spent years learning how to price and build these jobs right. VFS doesn't replace that. It clears the busywork out of the way so your experience is what the whole thing runs on.
Make it yours
Your logo, your colors, your shop's name. When you send a quote or hand a customer a portal link, they see your brand, not a software company's. It looks like something you built in-house.
Same platform, three shops, three brands. Illustrative mockup.
Bring a drawing you have already quoted. We will run it through and you can check our work.
