Features

Everything between the Tekla list and the delivery date.

Fabricata Track is deliberately focused: it tracks production and the schedule, and does both properly. It is not an ERP, and it does not ask you to change how your workshop works.

Projects and items

Project set-up

Customer, main contractor, end client, site, order number and the client's own job number, with planned start, planned finish and required delivery dates.

Assemblies and single parts

Separate but related: parts belong to assemblies with a quantity per assembly, shared marks are handled the way Tekla numbers them, and loose parts stand alone.

Quantities that can be partly done

Required, completed and remaining quantity and weight for every mark. 65 of 100 plates cut counts as exactly that.

Work packages

Group items the way your schedule is organised: Columns, Bracing, Ring Mains, Silo Roof.

Production

Workflow templates

Beam preparation, laser-cut plate, plate marked and drilled, structural assembly, or your own. Each part follows only the stages it needs.

Stage credits

Every stage earns a share of an item's weight. Equal by default, weighted if your estimators prefer (welding heavier, for example).

Fast updates

Filter, select and complete a stage for forty assemblies in three clicks. Every change lands in an append-only ledger.

Blocked and on hold

Flag a stage as blocked or on hold with a reason, and it shows up on the dashboard until it is cleared.

Schedule

Baseline, forecast, actual

The original plan is frozen when you baseline. Forecast changes are recorded with a reason. Actual dates come from production.

Gantt views

Day, week, month, quarter or the whole project, grouped by work package or by stage, with the baseline drawn under every bar.

Overdue and at-risk

Calculated from the dates and the production rate, with a plain-language reason: "Welding projects 9 October, 6 working days after the baseline."

Your working calendar

Choose the days your workshop works, add shutdowns and Saturday shifts. South African public holidays are included to start with.

Reporting

Project dashboard

Overall progress, tonnes complete and remaining, stage progress, forecast against baseline, the current bottleneck and what changed this week.

PDF schedule and progress report

Designed for print, with your logo. An internal version and a customer version that leaves out internal notes.

Delay register

Every delay with its category, impact and resolution, ready for the next progress meeting or claim.

Activity history

Who completed what, who moved which date and why, filterable by week.

Bring a Tekla assembly part list and a planned finish date. That is enough to start.
