Bead Board handles the daily work of a 1-10 person welding or fabrication shop: quoting, job tracking, photos, time tracking, and finding what you charged last time.
Bead Board is welding shop software for 1-10 person shops. It covers the daily work: quoting jobs, tracking them from quote to paid, attaching photos, clocking hours, and finding what you charged last time. Each use case below shows how one part works. $99 a month flat for the whole shop.
Quoting
Quote welding jobs line by line: material markup baked into customer prices, labor hours, a PDF from your truck. The quote becomes the job, and the invoice matches it to the penny. 1-10 person shops, $99 flat.
Job tracking
Job tracking software for welding shops: every job on one board from quote to paid, with customer, due date, hours, and who owes you money. Web, iPhone, and Android. $99/mo flat.
Mobile + offline
The mobile app for welders who run jobs from the truck: photos, hours, and job updates with no cell signal — syncs when you get bars. Native on iPhone and Android. Free 14-day trial.
Job photos
Attach reference, in-progress, and completion photos to welding jobs. Photos stay with the job record, not in someone's camera roll. Works offline.
Time tracking
Clock hours per welding job from your phone. See actual vs estimated hours on every job card. Know your real shop rate, not the one you guessed.
Shop management
Run a 1-10 person welding shop from one place: job board, quotes, customers with job history, hours, photos, and search. No inventory modules, no dispatch, no ERP. $99/mo flat.
