We’re thrilled to introduce Eziil Starter — a lightweight, purpose-built project management tool for small-to-medium-sized metal fabrication companies. Designed to help businesses transition from disconnected tools like Google Sheets, Excel, MS Projects and pen-and-paper, Eziil Starter provides a scalable, low-risk, budget-friendly entry into modern metal fabrication project management systems.
Eziil Starter is the modular and affordable solution for fabricators who want to ease into their first MRP system and gradually build the habit of digital project management without overwhelming their team or budgets.
We love that Eziil has a monthly subscription pricing model—we could ease into it without a massive upfront cost. It’s so much better than spending a huge amount of money upfront on a system and change in the business we weren’t sure would even work for us.
Specifically designed for fabricators juggling multiple custom projects and tight deadlines, Eziil Starter streamlines planning, communications, tracking, and reporting—helping businesses manage change effectively and deliver results without disrupting workflows.

How does Eziil Starter work
Every successful metal fabrication project follows a structured journey, moving through four critical phases—prepare (gather project information, resources and client requirements), plan (organize resources, schedules, and tasks), report (track progress and log activities), and measure and analyze (evaluate performance, profitability, and identify areas for improvement). Although each and every project is different, they still follow the same workflow.
Eziil Starter was built as a holistic solution to streamline each phase, making it easier to manage projects, resources, and timelines without the chaos of disconnected tools.
These four phases form the backbone of Eziil Starter, ensuring operations run smoothly and scalability is achievable.
Below, you’ll find how Eziil Starter empowers each step in your workflow:
1. PREPARE
Centralized information hub: Store all project data, tasks, and documents in one place for quick access.
Custom data fields: Tailor inputs to capture project-specific details.
File attachments: Upload blueprints, drawings, and documents directly into the app.
2. Plan
Resource planning tools: Manage workloads and prevent bottlenecks with visual scheduling and capacity tracking.
Task assignment: Assign tasks quickly to teams and shop floor—even remotely.
Stages and status tracking: Organize projects into actionable phases and tasks—like Pre-production, Fabrication, and Installation—to monitor progress. Detect bottlenecks early on.
Cloud-based access: Access and modify plans anytime, anywhere via tablet or PC. Shop floor will be able to log and report on their tasks via mobile.
3. Report
Mobile reporting: Let shop floor log hours and update job statuses directly from their devices.
Progress tracking: View timelines, completion rates, and get holistic overview of all active projects using the Masterview’s color-coded charts.
Time logs: Capture real-time data to ensure accurate reporting and accountability.
4. Measure and analyze
Project profit overview: Track budgets, costs, and profitability to make informed decisions.
Continuous improvement: Compare planned vs. actual progress. Spot inefficiencies to optimize workflows and pricing for future projects
Performance metrics: Monitor workloads, completion rates, and team efficiency to optimize performance.
Transforming metal fabrication management with Eziil Starter
Many fabrication companies start their journey using spreadsheets, whiteboards, and verbal updates to manage their projects. While these methods may work initially, they often create chaos as the business grows.
Let’s take a look at the significant impacts Eziil Starter’s beta users have reported.
What really stood out for us was the flexibility of Eziil. Other tools forced us to enter every single bit of information for each project, which would take weeks, but Eziil lets us get set up in minutes. That’s a huge time-saver for us.

- Lack of visibility: Project managers have no clear view of workload distribution, leading to bottlenecks and missed deadlines.
- Unpredictable scheduling: Teams rely on guesswork to plan projects, often overloading the shop or leaving gaps in production schedules.
- Profit Loss risks: Untracked progress and missed deadlines often lead to costly delays, penalties, and wasted resources, reducing profitability.
- Limited reporting: Tracking progress requires manual updates and conversations, making it difficult to identify issues early.
- Scaling struggles: Growing the business means adding more spreadsheets and ad-hoc systems, creating inefficiencies and frustration.
