at a glance.

FabIS Pulse reads your Tekla PowerFab data and turns it into a handful of clear screens: estimating, production, project management, purchasing, inventory, and inspections. The health of your shop and your projects, without pulling 20 reports.

The problem

You should not need 15 reports to know how your shop is doing.

You should not have to pull 15 or 20 reports out of PowerFab just to know how your company is doing. Pulse gives you a quick snapshot of the health of your shop and your projects in a handful of easy screens. It is all there at a glance.

A few things it flags that PowerFab does not make easy
In stock, on order, or on a cut list, for a whole sequence at once

See whether a piece is in stock, on order, or on a cut list across an entire sequence in one view, instead of checking it piece by piece.

Material you bought that you already had

Catch material you purchased when it was already sitting in your inventory.

Inventory still reserved for dead projects

Surface inventory still tied up for projects that closed a long time ago, so you can free it back up.

How long drawings have been out for approval

Track the average days your drawings have been out for approval. Handy the next time somebody tries to backcharge you.

Every part of your shop, on its own screen.

A handful of focused dashboards, each answering the questions you actually ask.
