About
The whiteboard replacement for welding and fabrication shops.
Bead Board is job tracking and quoting for shops with 1 to 10 people. If your jobs live on a whiteboard, your quotes on a napkin, and your steel prices in a text thread, this puts it all on one board the whole shop can see.
JOB BOARD
Every job on one board, with columns named the way your shop talks. Out of the box they are Quote, Working, Done and Paid. Each card shows the customer, job number, total, estimated vs. actual hours, priority, and days until it's due. Once a job is done, the card shows what the customer still owes, and the top of the board adds up everything you're owed.
CREW SCHEDULE
Put people on jobs by the day. See who's on what today, or look at the whole week. Hands without a login go on the schedule too. Split a day across two jobs when that's how it goes.
QUOTES AND INVOICES
Build quotes line by line from your saved price list. Duplicate a past job to quote the same kind of work in a minute. Your markup is built into the material prices, so the customer sees clean numbers and no markup line. Make a PDF quote or invoice right on your phone and send it by text or email, even with no signal.
MATERIAL ESTIMATOR
Pick the material and shape (plate, flat bar, round or square tube, angle, pipe by schedule, and more), punch in the size, and Bead Board works out the weight and price and fills in the quote line.
TIME TRACKING
Clock in on a job from the board. The timer stays on your lock screen so you don't forget to clock out. Compare estimated hours to actual and see which jobs made money.
PHOTOS AND DRAWINGS
Reference, in-progress and finished photos stay with the job. Attach customer drawings, PDFs, Word and Excel takeoffs, and CAD files (DWG, DXF, STEP). It all syncs to every phone and computer in the shop.
CUSTOMERS AND SEARCH
Every customer with their whole job history, and one tap to call, text or email them. Search every job you've ever done to find what you charged last time.
PRICE LIST
Save steel prices, labor rates and common supplies. Change a price once and every new quote uses it.
WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL
The board, quotes, time and photos all work offline. Everything syncs when you get signal back. Made for metal buildings and job sites out in the country.
REMINDERS AND A MORNING EMAIL
Your phone reminds you before a job is due. Every morning an email shows who's on what today and what's coming due. Tap a job in it and it opens right in the app.
SIGN IN WITHOUT A PASSWORD
Type your email and tap the link we send you. A password still works if you'd rather use one.
THE WHOLE SHOP, ONE BOARD
Invite your crew. Everyone sees the same board, so nobody has to ask what's due this week.
Built for how welders actually work. Simple, fast, and out of your way.
