// the problem — why shops lose money on paperwork, not fabrication
Three ways shops lose money today
None of these show up as a single bad day — they quietly cost real money, job after job, until nobody remembers a time it was different.
Slow, error-prone, no live recalculation when a rate changes, no way to see cutting wastage before you cut, and a quote that looks like a spreadsheet — not a professional proposal.
The established desktop tools in this space are powerful but costly, desktop-only, and built for cutting plans alone — not for a shop that also wants to run its sales pipeline.
No way to track a lead from first inquiry through site visit, quotation, and negotiation to a won job — so real opportunities quietly fall through the cracks.

Measurement to quotation, in one workflow
Enter your profile catalog, your own cutting formulas per window type, and your rate card — once. This is your shop's real, calibrated know-how, captured in the system instead of a notebook.
- ✓Profile catalog — bars you actually stock
- ✓Your own cutting formulas, not a fixed template
- ✓Rate card — every edit versioned, never rewrites an old quote
Add a plain window, a composite multi-section frame, a folding door, a curtain-wall bay, or frameless glass — each gets a real to-scale technical drawing automatically, and live costing down to the paisa as you build it.
- ✓All 5 opening types, one designer
- ✓Automatic technical drawing, no manual sketching
- ✓Profile, accessory, glazing & finish cost — live
FabSuite bin-packs every required cut length against your real stock bar length — honoring the saw's kerf and end-trim — grouped by profile code across the whole project, so you see exactly how much material gets wasted before a single bar is cut.
- ✓Optimized against your real stock bar length
- ✓Planned across the entire project, not window by window
- ✓Wastage % shown per profile and for the whole job
One click produces a shop-branded customer PDF — cover letter, per-window technical drawing, itemized pricing, terms, and a signature page — plus internal-only reports for the owner: cutting schedule, bill of quantities, and cost breakdowns.
- ✓Shop-branded, professional customer PDF
- ✓Internal reports kept away from staff
- ✓Finalized numbers frozen — a later rate change never moves an old quote
Capture a lead (phone, WhatsApp, walk-in, referral), log site-visit measurements, and track it through New Inquiry → Contacted → Site Visit → Quotation Sent → Negotiation → Won/Lost — with automatic follow-up reminders so nothing is forgotten. Convert a won lead straight into a project with one click.
// built for every job you take — not just plain windows
One engine, every opening type
Most costing tools handle a plain sliding window and stop there. FabSuite costs and cutting-plans all five, through the same engine.
Sliding, casement, tilt & turn, and fixed lights — any of your shop's own systems.
One outer frame, several sections side by side — a fixed light next to a casement, or a 3-part "Chicago" window.
2 to 12 leaves, with correct per-junction hinge-stile and per-leaf hardware costing.
A mullion/transom grid of any size — cells individually marked vision glass, spandrel, vent, or infill panel.
Glass and patch fittings, no aluminium frame to cut — costed and drawn the same way as everything else.

Everything FabSuite runs for you
Cutting-formula templates per window/door type, with a live preview against a test size before you save.
Enter a real historical job's known-correct cut lengths and see exactly how far off the current formula is — with the fix applied inline.
Flat, per-sq.ft, or per-leaf quantities per system, with brand/colour labels that print on the customer quote.
Profile, accessory, glazing, finish, and motorised-automation cost — computed the same way, every time.
Powder-coating, labour, wastage allowance, and any flat project charge spread fairly across every opening by area.
Once a project is finalized, the price is locked — a later rate-card change never silently moves a customer's quote.
Optimized against your real stock bar length, honoring saw kerf and end-trim allowance.
Grouped by profile code across the entire project, not window by window — where the real efficiency gain comes from.
A clear wastage % per profile and for the whole project — and anything too long to fit any bar is flagged, never silently mis-packed.
Cover letter, per-window technical drawing, itemized pricing, terms & conditions, and a signature page.
Cost summary, cutting schedule, bill of quantities, and category cost breakdowns — kept away from staff who shouldn't see margins.
Catches anything missing — a section with no glass, an operable sash with no hardware — before a project can be locked.
Phone, WhatsApp, walk-in, or referral — tracked through New Inquiry → Contacted → Site Visit → Quotation Sent → Negotiation → Won/Lost.
A two-touch schedule after a quote goes out, tied to your own quote-validity period — plus a "My Follow-ups" view so nothing slips.
Revenue trend, sales funnel, product mix, margin composition, and repeat-customer rate — from real finalized-project data.
// two roles, one workspace
Your margins stay yours
Full access — rate card, margins, team, billing, and every internal cost report. Sees the whole business, not just the jobs.
Builds and manages projects, leads, and quotes freely — but never sees the shop's internal cost rates, margins, or billing.
const pricing = [ // one plan, everything included
One plan. No tiers to navigate.
Every feature on this page is included from day one — there's no upsell ladder waiting for you later.
Flat. One shop, one price — full catalog, costing engine, cutting optimization, quotations, and the optional sales pipeline.
- ✓Unlimited profiles, systems & rate cards
- ✓All 5 opening types, one engine
- ✓Live costing & cutting optimization
- ✓Branded PDF quotations & internal reports
- ✓Sales pipeline & owner-only analytics
- ✓Owner + staff roles, team invites

Before you write in
No — FabSuite is a web app. It works from a browser on a desktop in the office or a phone on the shop floor. Nothing to install, always the latest version.
That's exactly how it's built to work. FabSuite doesn't assume how a shop cuts — you enter your own formulas per window type once, and calibration mode lets you check them against a real historical job before you rely on them.
Yes. Staff accounts can build and manage projects, leads, and quotes, but never see your rate card, margins, or billing — that's Owner-only.
Nothing — a finalized project's numbers are frozen the moment you lock it. Editing your rate card later never retroactively changes a price you already quoted.
Yes — every shop gets its own fully isolated workspace. There's no cross-shop visibility, ever.
