Our verdict on ShopData 360

ShopData 360 combines CAD/CAM nesting and cutting tools with ERP capabilities for metal fabrication businesses. Its workflow is aimed at small and mid-sized manufacturers, including HVAC fabricators, general fabricators, structural steel businesses, and machine shops. The central appeal is continuity: RFQ estimating uses material and labor rates, and won quotes can become sales and shop orders rather than ending at the quote stage.

The scope extends into production operations. Visual scheduling boards help organize work, while material availability checks support production orders. CAD/CAM nesting covers plasma, laser, water-jet, HVAC, and structural workflows. The system also includes inventory tracking with FIFO/LIFO and multiple location bins, plus purchasing, receiving, shipping, invoicing, and business intelligence reporting. That breadth may suit shops seeking one fabrication-focused workflow from estimating to production, rather than a narrower quoting or nesting tool.

Job costing is a notable part of the workflow: ShopData 360 can collect shop-floor time and capture actual material, labor, and machine costs against estimates. This supports comparing planned and actual job costs. The product is offered as Windows desktop software, with shop-floor access through terminals. According to the vendor's pricing information, buyers need to contact sales rather than select a published plan. Fabricators wanting estimating through job costing may find the connected scope relevant; teams looking for a cloud-based product or publicly stated pricing should compare alternatives before choosing it.
