More Accurate Job Costing
Build quotations around material, labour, overheads and the operations required to manufacture the job.
Estimating & Quoting Software for Fabrication & Manufacturing Businesses
Quote complex jobs with confidence. Control changing material and labour costs. Keep every department working from the same job information.
Clarity Fabrication & Manufacturing Software helps fabrication and manufacturing businesses bring estimating, job costing, production scheduling, purchasing and cost analysis into one structured system.
Instead of relying on spreadsheets and individual knowledge, Clarity Pro helps you build quotations around how the job will actually be produced, then carry that information through production so you can quote faster, reduce pricing mistakes and maintain better control of margin.
Why Fabrication & Manufacturing Businesses Choose Clarity
Clarity provides powerful features that put you back in control of estimating, materials, labour and production across complex fabrication jobs.
How Fabrication & Manufacturing Companies Use Clarity
Quoting & Estimating
Build detailed quotations for bespoke and multi-process fabrication jobs using your material, labour and overhead costs.
With Clarity, the quotation can feed directly into the Bill of Materials, Bill of Labour and production workflow. This helps ensure the price reflects what the workshop is actually expected to manufacture, rather than relying on a spreadsheet estimate created separately from production.
Production & Work Centre Scheduling
Plan work across cutting, machining, welding, assembly, finishing or other departments instead of managing everything in one job list.
Clarity Pro supports Gantt scheduling, work centre management, capacity planning, rescheduling and shop-floor input, giving production teams a clearer view of workload, bottlenecks and labour requirements.
Purchasing & Stock Control
Keep materials, stock and supplier purchasing connected to confirmed production requirements.
Clarity Pro supports warehouse-level stock management, job allocation, requisitions, RFQ comparison and MRP-driven ordering, helping manufacturers reduce shortages, excess stock and production delays.
Material Planning
Plan material requirements against live production and make better use of suitable sheet, rigid or other nestable materials.
Clarity Pro combines MRP and nesting capabilities to help improve material planning, reduce waste and increase material yield where jobs can be grouped or nested efficiently.
Cost Analysis
Compare what you expected a job to cost with what it actually consumed.
Comparing estimated and actual costs, including labour and expenses, helps management identify underestimated operations, inefficient processes and margin leakage before the same assumptions are used on future quotations.
Invoicing
Carry job information through to invoicing without entering the same information again once production is complete.
Clarity supports partial, full and batch invoicing alongside accounting integrations including Sage, Xero and QuickBooks, helping create a cleaner handover from production to accounts.
Built Around the Way Fabrication Jobs Are Actually Produced
A fabrication quotation is rarely just a material price plus a markup.
A single job may require different materials, different labour rates and several production stages before it leaves the workshop. If those requirements are not captured accurately when the quotation is created, the cost is often absorbed later through extra labour, material waste or reduced margin.
Clarity Pro connects estimating with production information so the commercial price and the manufacturing plan are based on the same job data.
For businesses producing CNC-routed components, fabricated assemblies, welded work or other multi-process custom jobs, that means fewer handover gaps between estimating and the workshop.
