WORKSHOP SOFTWARE FOR STEEL FABRICATORS
From first cut
to final sign-off.
Import your material list, optimize stock lengths and request quotations. Compare prices, choose suppliers and see the quote-comparison savings before issuing POs and preparing optimized cutting lists. Inspect linked IFC models and keep cutting, drilling, rolling, workshop progress and quality records connected to the same job—from a reviewed import to client handover.

Planning+
Plan projects and phases together on the Gantt. Use your configured machines and production stages, review proposed dates and save the programme when it is ready. Give clients visibility through a shared programme link while your team keeps its detailed workshop records in Arc-Track.
- Project and phase programmes in a combined Gantt
- Machine and production-stage planning from your setup
- Review and save programme dates before treating them as confirmed
- Shared client programme links
Make the next priorities easier to see across the jobs moving through your workshop.
Reporting+
Use Reports → Machine Production to review saved output by machine, project and date. Drilling and rolling throughput are shown separately; a machine that rolls and cuts to length contributes finished output once. Check approved workshop weight and Business Review summaries, with monthly or custom dates and matching PDF/Excel records.
- Recorded output, separate operation throughput and dated corrections
- Approved workshop output and Business Review summaries
- Machine, project and date filters for production reports
- PDF and Excel exports of the selected report records
Turn recorded quantities and weight into a useful production meeting, with the source records available for checking.
Module combinations and any supporting requirements are confirmed during setup.
FROM THE FIRST LIST TO THE NEXT LOAD
Start with a checked list.
Finish with a clear load.
Bring materials, assemblies and drawings into the project, then prepare shipping documents from the quantities you have selected and saved.
Keep the job information together.
Upload a supported KSS + PDF ZIP, with an optional matching IFC, to review materials, assemblies, drawings and model references together. Confirm the destination project and phase, check quantities and weights, and review the matched drawings before committing the import.
- Inspect linked 3D assemblies alongside the issued PDFs.
- Keep Excel available for other systems and processes.
- Match differing column headers to Arc-Track fields before importing.
- Review updates and conflicts before replacing existing requirements.
Less manual re-entry, with a review step before the information feeds purchasing and allocation.
Watch the import lessonBuild the list for the load you need.
Select assemblies and loose items, enter the quantities for the load and add its reference, destination, finish and notes. Save the selection, then produce the PDF and Excel from that same saved version.
- Choose full or partial quantities for each shippable mark.
- Review unit weight, total weight and linked drawings.
- Reopen saved lists and resolve source changes before exporting.
Clear shipping paperwork for the selected items. Your team still checks production and quality release before dispatch.

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before you
get started.
How do our staff log in?+
Select Customer login and enter your email address and PIN. Arc-Track opens the connected company workspace associated with your account. Your administrator supplies your access details.
Which import formats can we use today?+
Arc-Track accepts a supported KSS + PDF project ZIP with an optional matching IFC for linked 3D models, and Excel files with column matching. Direct integrations with drawing platforms are not currently offered. Use the import lesson and templates to review a representative job first.
Can we follow materials from import to cutting?+
Yes. Review a supported KSS + PDF package or mapped Excel list, check routing and stock-length optimization, and use the buying requirements for RFQs and supplier comparisons. Choose the suppliers for your material groups, review quote-comparison savings against the highest valid quoted total, and save your selections. Review and issue the PO, then use machine-filtered PDF and Excel cutting lists against the purchased stock lengths. Your team reviews quantities, stock choices, quotes and approvals at the relevant steps. Plate sheet quantities still come from your nesting result.
Can we inspect the assembly in 3D?+
Yes. Include a matching IFC in the supported KSS + PDF project ZIP and review its marks and quantities. Open the linked assembly model to select parts, inspect supplied properties, rotate and isolate the view, make section cuts and measure reference geometry. Keep the issued PDF as the drawing reference; a visual model does not confirm hole requirements or manufacturing instructions.
Can we roll CFLC in-house or buy it from a supplier?+
Choose In-house or Outsourced separately for each CFLC profile and grade. Internal rolling uses your reviewed raw coils, strips or sheets and the selected rolling/cutting sequence. RFQs, POs and receiving retain actual supply units. A coil-fed roller does not require standard stock lengths; a separate cutter uses its own loading rules.
Do we need every module?+
No. Your subscription is configured for the modules you need. Some modules depend on others, so we confirm the combination during setup. Additional modules can be enabled later.
Can we use our own machines and currency?+
Yes. Configure each machine as Cutting, Drilling only or Rolling, with your actual material capacities. Choose All sizes or No weight limit explicitly where they apply. Saved machine cards collapse after saving. Section stock lengths, coil-fed rolling and RFQ plate sheets follow their own requirements. Production stages and approval rules have their own Production setup. Company settings hold your branding, currency and tax settings.
Does production tracking require payments per tonne?+
No. Subscriber workspaces track completed quantities, weight and approvals without per-tonne payments.
How does Arc-Track help prevent mistakes?+
Review steps make quantities, machine routing, supplier selections and outstanding records visible. Submitted workshop work remains separate from approved output. Your team reviews the source information and performs the required inspections while Arc-Track keeps the checks and evidence together.
How does Arc-Track help with quality assurance?+
Keep the project’s selected quality requirements, Electronic QCPs, inspection signatures, material certificates and heat-number records together. Review outstanding items as the job progresses and compile the supporting records for the Data Book. Your authorised team records the required inspections and acceptance.
How do I learn the system?+
Open the Training Centre for seven captioned workflow videos, written steps, PDF manuals and Excel templates. Start with setup, then follow a test job from import through procurement, production, quality and shipping lists.
How much does Arc-Track cost?+
Indicative launch pricing starts at US$79/month for Starter and US$159/month for Professional, excluding applicable tax. Custom Workshop adds selected module prices to the US$49 company workspace. Use the calculator above; final pricing is agreed before activation. Setup guides and training videos are included.
