Structural Steel · Run Like a Shop, Not a Spreadsheet
Brontes replaces the spreadsheets, disconnected PDFs, and phone calls to the shop floor with one connected system — sales pipeline, estimating, project management, production control, purchasing, and inventory, built specifically for structural steel fabricators.
Most fabrication shops run their business across five tools that don't talk to each other — a CRM (or an inbox) for sales, a spreadsheet for estimating, another spreadsheet for the cut list, a shared drive for drawings, and a whiteboard for the shop floor. Brontes is built to be the one system that actually reflects how a job moves through a real shop: from a bid, to an estimate, to a project, to a material and production plan, to a shipped and erected piece — the same path your steel actually travels.
Every stage below is a real, working part of the system — not a marketing diagram. A job's data carries forward automatically at every handoff.

Every feature below ships today — see the full breakdown on the Features page.
Customer records, activity timelines, a configurable Kanban pipeline, and pipeline analytics that surface where deals actually stall.
Fabrication and erection labor, Schedule of Costs, an Advance Bill of Materials with real cutting-stock math, and a printable Proposal Builder.
Stations, Routes, a Kanban job board, per-piece station timers, and a Cut List combining solver that groups material across jobs.
Purchase orders, vendor records, requisitions, and inventory tracked down to location, reservation, and serial number.
Click-to-identify an IFC model element and cross-reference it against real shop-floor piece, route, and QC data.
Per-piece erected status logging with a weighted percent-complete rollup, all the way from shop job to project.
Three tiers for office seats, and a separate seat for the shop floor — you're never paying full price for a tablet at the saw.
