Clocked hours that pay the invoice and the wage.

A job platform for fabrication shops where the hours a fabricator clocks against a job become both the labour lines on the invoice and the inputs to payroll — plus materials, purchase orders, variations and job costing.

What it does

Clocked hours that pay the invoice and the wage.

In a fabrication shop the same hour of work has to appear twice: once as a labour line on the customer’s invoice, and once as a pay line for the person who worked it. Most shops record it once, on paper, and the owner spends six to ten hours a week reconstructing the other half.

FabManager makes that one entry. Time clocked against a job feeds the invoice and the pay run from the same record, and around that spine sit the things a fab shop actually needs: materials as a first-class item, purchase orders with an editable auto-approve threshold, variations, job costing, and a configurable pay-rules engine.

What's inside

The parts that matter

  • One clock, two outputs — the invoice labour line and the payroll input from the same entry
  • Materials as a first-class item — not a note in the job description
  • Purchase orders — admin-controlled, with an auto-approve threshold you can set
  • Variations and job costing — what the job was quoted at, and what it actually cost
  • Configurable pay rules — overtime, public holidays and local-time day boundaries handled explicitly
In development — designed and built, not yet deployed. We would rather say that than call it live.
