Metal Fabrication Software

Quote the job, build it, and know exactly what the steel cost you.

AlfaDecode runs your fabrication shop end to end. Build a bill of materials for each job, raise work orders, and let production consume steel, sheet and consumables while it rolls up the true material cost of every finished piece. Track stock, purchases and suppliers, raise tax invoices, and message customers on WhatsApp. Billing, work orders and stock keep working fully offline and sync when you're back online.

1

Bills of materials for every job

Build a BOM for each part or assembly — plate, sheet, tube, angle, fasteners and consumables. Reuse it for repeat orders so every quote starts from your real material list.

2

Work orders that consume stock

Raise a work order, run the job, and AlfaDecode deducts the raw materials used and adds the finished piece to stock automatically. No more guessing what's left on the rack.

3

True material-cost roll-up

Every finished job carries the real cost of the steel and consumables that went into it, so you know your margin before you invoice, not after.

4

Inventory across steel, sheet and consumables

Track raw stock, offcuts and finished goods in one place, with purchase and supplier records so you always know what to reorder and what it last cost you.

FAQ

Metal Fabrication software — your questions

Does it keep working if the internet goes down in the workshop?

Yes. AlfaDecode is offline-first, so billing, work orders and stock updates all keep working with no connection and sync automatically once you're back online.

Can it handle GST, VAT or sales tax?

Yes. It raises GST-, VAT- and sales-tax-ready invoices in your local currency and produces the tax reports your accountant needs at period end.

Can we keep our data on our own premises, or does it have to be in the cloud?

Either. Run AlfaDecode in the cloud or on-premise so your data stays on your own hardware — you choose whatever suits your shop.

How does it work out the cost of a fabricated job?

When a work order runs, it consumes the raw materials listed in your BOM and rolls their cost up into the finished piece, so each job carries its true material cost.

How long does it take to set up?

The metal-fabrication preset configures the system for your trade in minutes — BOMs, work orders, inventory and invoicing ready to go — so you can start entering your own materials and jobs straight away.
