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
Works with no signal — clock on, run job timers and log materials with the network down. The tablet holds the work and sends it when the signal returns, and the times recorded are the times the buttons were pressed
The gap you can’t see — paid shift hours against hours clocked to jobs, per person, with the difference priced

Deployed and running on our own infrastructure. Every number it produces — the invoice line, the pay line, the gap between them — comes from the same clocked entry, so the two halves cannot drift apart.
