Discrete Manufacturing
One set of numbers. Floor, stores, management, in sync.
Quoting relies on one person. Job status means a phone call.
The Leak Assessment: 30 minutes, and a written plan within 48 hours, whether or not you hire us.
Cluxn builds quote request portals, job status views and production dashboards for metal fabrication shops with 50–500 employees. Quoting stops depending on one person, and repeat customers check job status and reorder without calling the floor. A website typically takes 4 weeks, at a fixed price in writing after a 30-minute Leak Assessment.
Metal Fabrication & Job Shops: common problems
What it's costing you.
No Inquiry Visibility
All inquiries arrive via text message or phone — no standard inquiry form, no visibility into win rate or inquiry volume over time
Invisible Job Status
Job status (in production, quality hold, ready for dispatch) unknown to accounts and clients without calling the floor supervisor
No Repeat-Order Self-Service
No customer portal — every repeat order requires the same manual back-and-forth as the first
Single-Person Quoting Risk
Quoting knowledge concentrated in one person — no institutional knowledge capture when that person is on leave
