Order and production management for sheet metal shops
After the customer orders, SeekMake keeps the job moving: each order carries its files, price breakdown and delivery date, moves across a production board, prints as a work order and ends with an invoice.
A sheet metal job usually passes through several stations: cutting, deburring, bending, sometimes welding, then coating that may be done outside. Each handoff is a chance for the wrong drawing or quantity to reach the floor. Keeping the file, price breakdown and due date attached to the order, and moving it by status, gives everyone the same reference.

FAQ
Questions shops ask before switching
Can I track production by machine?

Can I print work orders?
Yes. Work orders include part, material, quantity and inspection fields.
Does it replace my ERP?
SeekMake covers quoting, ordering, production tracking and invoicing. Many shops use it alongside their accounting tools.
Can I see which jobs are waiting on the press brake?
The production board shows orders by status and by machine, so you can see what is queued on each machine, including your press brakes, if you set them up that way.
Do work orders include the customer's file and options?
Printable work orders come from the order itself, which carries its files and the options the customer chose, so the shop floor works from the ordered version.
