03How it works

Up and running before your coffee gets cold.

Set up your shop

Pick a name, add your crew. Everyone gets access, no per-seat fees, no user limits.

Add your jobs

Customer, job number, line items, due date. Snap a photo of the drawing. That's it. You're quoting.

Track every bead

Move jobs across the board as work flows. Quote to paid. See hours, photos, and status at a glance.

04The problem

You're running a six-figure shop off a whiteboard and a stack of napkin quotes.

Quotes disappear

You scribble numbers on a notepad, text a price, then can't find it three weeks later when the customer calls back. Sound familiar?

Pricing from memory

What did you charge for 2-inch schedule 40 last time? What's your hourly shop rate with markup? You're guessing, and leaving money on the table.

No signal in the shop

Metal buildings kill WiFi. You're in the truck at a job site with no cell service. Cloud-only tools are useless when you can't get online.

"Is my job done yet?"

Customer calls. You walk out to the floor. Check the board. Call them back. Repeat ten times a day. There's gotta be a better way.

Sound familiar?

6:00 AM

Staring at the whiteboard trying to remember which bay the handrail job is in.

Open app. Every job, every status, right there. Done.

8:30 AM

Customer calls about a quote you texted three weeks ago. You can't find it.

Pull up their name. Every quote, every job, every price. Thirty seconds.

1:00 PM

Guy on site needs the address for the next job. You're digging through texts.

Tap the customer. Tap the address. Maps opens. He's driving.

2:00 PM

No signal at the job site. Can't pull up the drawing. Drive back to the shop.

Phone in a metal building. No bars. Doesn't matter. Everything's on the device.

5:00 PM

Back at the office. Nothing written down. Details already fading.

Photos, notes, and hours logged from the truck all day. It's all there.

Sunday

Trying to piece together the week from memory, napkins, and a group text.

Everything already in Bead Board. Job history, time entries, customer notes.

Questions welding shops ask

How much does Bead Board cost?

$99/month flat rate. Unlimited users, unlimited jobs, unlimited photos. No per-seat pricing, no tiers.

Does Bead Board work offline?

Yes. Bead Board is offline-first. Every read, write, and photo works without internet. Data syncs automatically when you reconnect. Perfect for metal buildings and remote job sites with no signal.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. Native iOS and Android apps. Check jobs, snap photos, send quotes, right from the truck or the shop floor.

Can I generate PDF quotes and invoices?

Yes. Build quotes line-by-line with material markup, generate a professional PDF, and share it directly from the app. Same for invoices.

Who is Bead Board built for?

Small welding and fabrication shops with 1-10 people. If you track jobs on a whiteboard, quote on napkins, or text prices to customers, Bead Board replaces all of that.

Built for shops that weld,
not shops that type.

Set up your shop in two minutes. No credit card to start.
