WHY ARCIFAB?
When the drawing changes, the package on the floor should change with it, and the system that makes that happen should be yours. That is why we created ARCIFAB.
Delivered in 90 days.
We walk your floor, set the system up around how you deliver, and put your name on it. After that, it is yours.

The truck left with revision 2. The drawing changed and the package on the floor did not change with it. That is a re-cut, and the hours for it come out of the job.
The bay is waiting on a piece nobody can name. Somebody goes looking, and the welder stands there on the clock while they look. When every spool carries its own status, the piece names itself.
The hold point gets signed after the spool is already in the crate. The record says inspected. It cannot tell you whether anyone looked before it was packed, and the shop finds out when the field does.
What came off the nest never gets tracked back to the BOM, so the next job buys material that is already on the rack. Track the drop back to the job and the next BOM sees it before the PO goes out.
ONE SOFTWARE
Software made by people who have run a shop, for the people running yours. One system for the whole floor, with your name on it, that you own.
The right revision is on the table.
When the drawing changes, the package on the floor changes with it. Nothing gets re-cut.
The traveler is on every spool.
Each piece carries its own status, so nobody walks the bays looking for it and the welder stays on the work.
QC signs before it ships.
The hold point has to be signed before the spool can move, so the record is finished when the work is.
The drop goes back on the BOM.
The next job uses what is already on the rack before anyone buys more.
YOUR OWN SYSTEM
A system you own outright, created for your processes and your data.
The system carries your company’s name and branding, and it is set up for your shop alone.
Every fitter, foreman and PM you add is another line on a per-seat invoice. On an ARCIFAB system the price does not move when you add a login.
Two days on site at launch, an hour of training every month for your new hires, and two years of development and maintenance with every system. Nobody will ask you what a spool is.
Contractors working on chip plants, data centers and other secure facilities are expected to protect project data. This is how the system does it.
Each shop runs in its own dedicated system. Your data does not share a database with any other contractor.
Single sign-on, and only the people you authorize get in.
When you connect another tool, it comes in through a protected API. Nothing else gets a door into your system.
HOW WE START
Three 30-day steps and two visits to your shop. Then we spend the next 21 months perfecting it for your operation.
We walk your floor and document how you already bid, price and build. You get a plan and a proposal written for your operation.
On-site visit 1We set up the system around that plan, put your name on it and load your data into it.
We deliver it, train the people who will use it and go live on your floor.
On-site visit 2An hour of training every month for new hires, and changes made as your shop needs them. We host it and keep it running.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
We ran multi-trade fabrication shops and managed the data behind them. The tools we needed were never on the market, so we created them.
WHAT WE DO
Your shop manager, foreman and QC open these screens every day.
Your logo and your colors on every screen.
Your statuses, your package names, your release.
Your numbers on your own dashboard.
These are basic examples. Yours will look like your shop.
These are the parts we made because we needed them and could not buy them.
PDFs, Revit models, STEP files, spreadsheets and photos of sketches all come in without anyone redrawing the job.
Track heat numbers, remnants and drops, so you stop buying material you already own.
ARCIFAB is made to connect to automated machinery through a pipe profiler like PypeServer, so cut sheets go out to the cut table, the weld cell and the CNC, and what the machine ran comes back on the spool.
The JSA gets done with the job, and the safety paperwork is finished when the work is.
Price the next bid off your own floor hours or your trade association’s labor units. ARCIFAB handles both.
ONLY ON ARCIFAB
Other fab software stops when the truck leaves the yard. ARCIFAB follows every spool to the hanger. Your field foreman receives it on site and logs the install from a tablet, and the shop and the office see it right away.
NEW ON ARCIFAB
Now available in Spanish, French, Portuguese and several more. No other fabrication system does this.
Shop messages
Spool 4-117 is on hold. The flange is missing.
El spool 4-117 está en espera. Falta la brida.
Translated automatically for every reader
Track mechanical, sheet metal, electrical, plumbing and structural work across every shop, with a field module for the install crews.
When you add a bay, open a second facility or bring on a new machine, the system grows with you.
The system and its history stay with the shop. There is no yearly negotiation to use your own data.
What you would expect from any shop system, designed for the way a shop actually uses it.
See which package is late, which truck is loading and what is waiting on parts before the first shop employee clocks in.
See all your shops on one screen, and move a job between them without losing a single spool.
Cut sheets, markups and revisions live in one place, so detailing, the floor and the field all build from the same traveler.
And that menu goes deeper.
Every screen reads the same package, spool and release, so nobody keeps a side spreadsheet.
WHAT IT RUNS
We have tracked pipe, duct, conduit and steel in one system, so we already speak your shop’s language.
Mechanical
Spools, hangers and the rack ship on the same truck, with a weld map that matches what the welder ran.
Pipe spool tracking
Sheet metal
Track what came off the coil against what got nested, and every duct run ships with its fittings.
Sheet metal fabrication
Electrical
Conduit, gear and prefab ship kitted by area, so the crew opens one box per pull.
Electrical prefab tracking
Oil & Gas
Heat numbers, weld procedures, NDE and hydrotest packs travel with the spool, ready for turnover.
Read: Pipe and traceabilityThese are four examples. Whatever your shop fabricates, we will create a way to track it.
