Boost efficiency with Virtual Shopfloor from PST
Posted on 05/05/2023
Efficiency is at the core of any successful fabrication business, which is why many in the industry are already seeing the benefits of Virtual Shopfloor, a unique and powerful manufacturing software from Production Software Technology (PST) that can help achieve a flat pack rate of 97%.
Compatible with a wide range of glazing products, Virtual Shopfloor is a manufacturing-based software that allows fabricators to choose from a library of 3D model templates or create custom designs from scratch using the free form tool.
All designs are bespoke to the products they manufacture, and can be built on using easy to use drag and drop tools. Manufacturing and installation reports can then be generated with the option to send instructions directly to CNC machinery.
PST Managing Director Neil Travers explains: “Virtual Shopfloor has been designed with many benefits for modern fabricators – these include the transfer of cutting instructions directly from the platform to the saw interface by creating various saw driver output files, as well as an instant costing feature that allows for the customisation of pricing using a simple matrix and the inclusion of extra costs such as labour and site costs.
“The software also comes with an integrated reporting suite, allowing fabricators to create branded sales and survey reports, as well as numerous manufacturing reports such as full-spec small parts drawings, top cap cutting templates, and customisable hardware printouts.
“Essentially, Virtual Shopfloor eliminates the need for fabricators to use various software programs at once, giving them everything they need in one place, creating a seamless workflow from sales and survey right through to manufacturing.
“With industry-leading flat pack rates, a dramatic drop in trial build rates and substantial annual savings, Virtual Shopfloor is widely recognised as the de-facto solution for the glazing industry, and in today’s competitive market, is the ultimate tool to help fabricators get ahead.”
