Track Every Job by Drawing Revision, Not Memory

A fabrication shop lives on jobs that cut, weld, machine and assemble against drawings that change mid-job. TCB Infotech connects ERP, custom software and AI so every job carries its current revision and stage, and rework gets caught before dispatch instead of after.

50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.

Every Job Is Its Own Drawing, Its Own Cost

A fabrication shop runs many different jobs at once, each against its own drawing, and a revision issued mid-job has to reach the right stage before rework happens, not after.

Jobs Tracked by Revision and Stage

Every job carries its drawing revision through every stage

Each job is logged with its part, drawing revision and current stage, cutting, welding, machining or QC, so a supervisor can see at a glance which jobs are running the latest drawing and which need a check.

  • Job number, part and revision tracked together.
  • Stage visible: cutting, welding, machining, QC.
  • Mid-job revision changes flagged to the right stage.

ERP, Software and AI Together

Job costing connected to the ERP you already run

Job costing, from cutting time to welding consumables, flows into your existing ERP, and AI flags a job that is trending over its estimated cost or time before it reaches dispatch and becomes a loss.

  • Connects to your existing ERP, no replacement needed.
  • Custom tracking for job cost by stage and material.
  • AI flags cost or schedule overruns before dispatch.

FAQ

Engineering & Fabrication, Answered

What does TCB Infotech actually do for a fabrication shop?
We connect your ERP, build the job and drawing-revision tracking your shop needs, and add AI where it removes manual work, so every job's stage, revision and cost are visible without a supervisor chasing a paper traveler.
Does this replace our existing ERP?
No. The system connects to your existing ERP rather than replacing it, so job costs and material use flow into the accounting and inventory records you already keep.
How do you handle drawings that change mid-job?
Every job is tied to a specific drawing revision, and a mid-job change is flagged against the affected stage, whether it is cutting, welding, machining or QC, so rework is caught before dispatch rather than after a customer complaint.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Most fabrication engagements move from mapping your job flow to a working pilot within a few months. Scope and timeline are confirmed after we walk your shop with you.
What support do we get after go-live?
The same team that built the system stays available for support, fixes and changes as your job mix or subcontracting needs evolve.
Can ERP integration, custom software and AI be combined into one project for us?
Yes. Most fabrication engagements combine ERP integration, a piece of custom software for job and revision tracking, and AI automation where it removes manual work, scoped as a single engagement.

How We Track a Job From Drawing to Dispatch

From a cutting list to a site handover, here is what the system tracks on a job-based fabrication floor.

Core Tracking

Jobs, Revisions and Cost, in One Record

Job & Drawing Revision Tracking

A revision that reaches the right stage before rework happens

Each job carries its part, current drawing revision and stage. When a revision changes mid-job, the affected stage, cutting, welding, machining or QC, is flagged so the change is caught before dispatch.

  • Job, part and revision tracked together.
  • Mid-job revision changes flagged to the right stage.
  • Full revision history kept per job.

Rework & Non-Conformance Logging

Rework logged against the job and stage that caused it

A non-conformance found at welding, machining or QC is logged against the specific job and stage, so patterns across jobs, materials or shifts show up instead of disappearing into a single rework note.

  • Non-conformance logged by job and stage.
  • Rework cost tracked separately from original cost.
  • Patterns visible across jobs and shifts.

Job Costing & Dispatch

Cost tracked by order, dispatch tied to the final revision

Material, labor and consumable cost are tracked per job and compared to the original estimate, and the dispatch or site handover record is tied to the job's final drawing revision for reference later.

  • Job cost tracked against the original estimate.
  • Outsourced processes tracked with in-house visibility.
  • Dispatch tied to the final drawing revision.
