CASE STUDY
Fabitin:
On-Demand Fabrication
A detailed look at Fabitin, our on-demand fabrication startup. Material procurement systems, factory floor planning software, and manufacturing workflows. We operate this daily.
Project Overview
Fabitin is our on-demand fabrication startup. We operate it daily, working with material procurement systems, manufacturing workflows, factory floor planning software, and production management systems.
This isn't a client project—it's our own business. We've built and operate the software that runs our fabrication operations. We understand these systems because we use them every day.

Systems We Built & Operate
Material Procurement System
Software for managing material sourcing, supplier relationships, and procurement workflows. We use this daily to source materials for fabrication projects.
Factory Floor Planning
Custom software for optimizing factory layouts and managing workflows. We use this to plan production and optimize our fabrication floor.
Manufacturing Workflows
Production management systems and workflow optimization tools. We track production, manage capacity, and optimize processes.
Production Management
Systems for scheduling production, allocating resources, and tracking progress. We use these to manage our on-demand fabrication operations.
Results & Impact
50%
Procurement Time Reduction
30%
Production Efficiency Increase
40%
Material Handling Reduction
25%
Material Waste Reduction
Our material procurement and factory floor planning systems have transformed our fabrication operations. We've reduced procurement time, improved production efficiency, and optimized material usage.
Key Results:
- 50% reduction in procurement time through automation
- 30% increase in production efficiency from floor optimization
- 40% reduction in material handling time
- 25% reduction in material waste through better planning
- Improved on-time delivery rates
- Better capacity utilization and resource allocation
We've tested these systems on our own operations. When we build similar systems for clients, we're applying solutions we've already proven work in production environments.
Why This Matters for Your Project
When we build material procurement systems or factory floor planning software for your clients, we're not guessing about workflows or factory floor operations. We've solved these problems for ourselves first.
We know what works because we use it every day in our fabrication operations. We understand the challenges of on-demand manufacturing, material sourcing, and production planning because we face them daily.
We understand manufacturing software because we operate manufacturing businesses. This means we can build systems that actually work in real production environments.
Key Learnings
Material Procurement Needs Automation
Manual procurement processes don't scale. Automated systems for supplier management, material tracking, and procurement workflows are essential.
Factory Floor Planning Optimizes Production
Good floor layouts and workflow management significantly improve production efficiency. Software helps visualize and optimize these.
On-Demand Operations Require Flexibility
On-demand manufacturing needs flexible systems that can adapt to changing orders and production requirements. Custom software handles this better than off-the-shelf.
Real-World Testing Is Essential
Software that works in theory often fails in practice. Testing on real operations (like we do at Fabitin) reveals what actually works.
