Who we are
Founded by a 20+year fabrication veteran who’s run multi-million-dollar shops and fixed the same problems you face every day. Connected Fabrication Solutions provides consulting and workflow solutions designed specifically for fabrication shops. We eliminate the chaos created by fragmented data systems and multiple points of entry, replacing them with unified, reliable processes that ensure accurate information flow.
The root of most shop problems lies in disconnected systems: data that must be entered repeatedly across spreadsheets, paper forms, and disparate software, resulting in errors, lost information, and unreliable records. Our approach eliminates these redundant entry points and establishes a single, dependable source of truth for all job-related data.
With decades of direct experience managing fabrication operations—including pipe spool production, structural steel fabrication, welding, and quality control—we understand the specific challenges shops face: incomplete traceability, scattered documentation, unreliable reporting, and the constant effort required to reconstruct information for turnover packages and audits.
We do not impose generic software packages or force shops to adapt to unfamiliar methodologies. Instead, we help build solutions that integrate with your existing processes—your drawing numbers, weld identification system, reporting requirements, and operational structure. Whether the task is implementing a comprehensive quality management system, establishing reliable production tracking, or creating custom reporting and documentation workflows, our work focuses on delivering practical, shop-ready results.
Our objective is straightforward: create systems that capture and preserve critical information once, maintain complete traceability throughout the production process, and make that information immediately accessible in the format your operations require. The result is reduced rework, simplified documentation, improved audit performance, and management visibility into production without manual reconstruction of data.
Connected Fabrication Solutions exists to solve the fundamental problem of fragmented information in fabrication environments. By establishing clear, single-entry data systems that align with the way your shop actually works, we enable fabrication companies to operate with greater control, accuracy, and efficiency.
From Manual Chaos to a Connected Shop
We take the systems you already use and connect them, so your PO, estimate, drawings, and checked data all flow cleanly into Project Management, Production, Materials, and QC.
Manual, Disconnected, Risky
Jobs begin in email, PDFs, and spreadsheets.
Details are created, but the data stays trapped in the drawings.
Someone checks details by hand. Any corrections live in markups, not in your systems.
The same information is typed again into:
- Accounting
- Production
- QC
- Purchasing
- Material Control
- Project Management
Multiple points of entry, higher chance of bad data, and Accounting has to ask Projects what is really going on.
One Source, Many Systems
The project begins inside your system, not in a siloed spreadsheet.
Estimate number is entered once so quoted hours and materials can be compared to what’s needed and what actually happens. COs stay visible through the entire process.
Detailed drawings become a structured data source instead of just a picture.
All drawing data is checked, corrected, and changes are stored. This becomes your single source of truth.
The same checked data flows automatically into:
- Project Management – Project tools match the latest drawings and COs.
- Production Management – Assemblies, BOMs, and cut lengths match the details.
- Material Management – Material lists match your part numbers, grades, and sizes.
- QC Management – Assemblies and BOMs drive testing and NDE requirements.
One-time entry, many uses. Your systems talk to each other, and the data helps you, not hinders you.
