YOUR FIRST STEP INTO DIGITAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Small metal fabrication shops often manage projects through a patchwork of Excel files, pen-and-paper notes, and other disconnected tools.
This makes it nearly impossible to get real-time status updates, leading to production bottlenecks, missed deadlines and chaotic firefighting.
