Production-first project management for engineered-to-order fabrication
Fabstack is being built for pressure vessel, heat exchanger, and other engineered-to-order fabrication shops and field-service organizations, to provide them with tools specially designed for their workflows.
Fabstack will push steel out the back door.
Production-first design
Fabricating pressure equipment means working under requirements most industries never encounter: ASME code compliance, material traceability, third-party inspection, and documentation that all have to be right the first time.
Fabstack is being designed for your world from the ground up.
The workflows that govern ASME fabrication have been developed and refined over decades by people who understand what's at risk when things go wrong. Processes that keep your business running and your products safe should be built in—not left to the whims of your most recent hire.
Fabstack is being designed specifically for the realities of ASME pressure equipment fabrication: reviewing customer specifications before bidding, securing engineering approval before procurement, flagging inspection and hold points, and tracking change orders end to end. It's not an adaptation of a general-purpose business platform: it's being designed for your world from the ground up.
- Low-configuration by design. Ready for your workflows without significant implementation and customization effort.
- Simple and intuitive. Less cognitive overhead, so your engineers can focus on safe and practical equipment design.
- Built to support fabrication. Shop personnel can put their energy towards pushing steel out the back door.
Tooling that grows with your projects
Fewer workarounds
Spreadsheets, email, and network drives have carried your team to where they are now—that speaks to their resourcefulness. But these tools weren't designed for engineered-to-order fabrication, and won't help you quickly scale when you pick up extra work.
When you need tight coordination between engineering, procurement, and the shop floor, generic tools show their limits. Email threads spiral when everyone CCs everyone. Someone's tweak to your production tracking sheet results in formulas pointing to the wrong cells. New engineers spend their afternoons exploring network folders, trying to figure out how their predecessors solved the same problems last time.
This isn't a failure of the team—it's a sign the workload has outgrown the toolset.
- Clear project context. Calculations, drawings, and other project content are kept in one place and organized consistently. Teams stay aligned without digging through folders.
- Robust production tracking. Your production schedule and status tracking lives in a structured system. Changes are controlled and the numbers are dependable.
- Fewer email pileups. A single hub for each project keeps conversations, tasks, and reference material together. You have the right information in front of you when you need it most.
Target capabilities
Complete support for your fabrication shop
Fabstack is being designed around the natural lifecycle of engineered-to-order fabrication, from first contact with the customer through final certification and shipment.

Who is
Fabstackfor?Fabstackis being designed to support pressure vessel and heat exchanger manufacturers, and similar engineered-to-order shops and field service organizations—keeping engineering, drafting, procurement, QC, and the shop floor all in sync while balancing multiple projects on tight schedules.How will drawings and document control work?
Engineers and drafters will have the tools they need to manage raw source files without worrying about data loss or corruption, and to revise, authenticate, and release documents on their own, without relying on a document control department.
Once released, document distribution will be automatic—to the shop, QC, the customer, the Authorized Inspector—all based on your settings for each project.
How will RFIs, NCRs, and change orders be handled?
Rather than providing electronic imitations of decades-old paper processes, these features will be implemented as structured, value-added workflows that directly support their intended objectives.
Rather than scattered email threads with stale copies of the same form at different stages of completion, each item will exist as a single, authoritative record. Updates, comments, approvals, and revisions will all be centralized and interactive—no version confusion, no manual follow-up, and no chasing down the last signature.
Will
Fabstackbe cloud-based?Yes—it will be built on a secure, scalable cloud infrastructure with robust security measures to protect your data and ensure compliance with industry standards.
Your users will work out of a web browser, making the platform fully accessible from any environment—desktop or mobile, in the office, shop, or field—taking the software burden off your IT team.
How will
Fabstacktake advantage of AI?AI features will be implemented very selectively, and only on an opt-in basis for low-risk tasks like improving clarity and summarizing text.
Modern AI produces fluent, confident language that can be mistaken for real understanding, even by skilled users. To avoid misuse, it will never be used in core engineering workflows, where accuracy, traceability, and accountability are critical.
