What's costing Metal Fabrication shops
Nothing falls through
Shop projects live on whiteboards and nobody knows what is "ready"
Margin protected
Raw steel ships without the finish being quoted, killing the margin
Zero failed inspections
Welder certifications expire and risk failing inspection
The compliance and the paperwork are different in Metal Fabrication — the back office isn't. Hero AI runs all of it for you.

fewer jobs slipping past their due date
Meet your Metal Fabrication back office
Every role a Metal Fabrication shop needs — answering, quoting, dispatching, the paperwork, invoicing, and follow-up — delivered as Hero AI and tuned to how Metal Fabrication work actually runs.

Win more Metal Fabrication work
- Answers the after-hours call and captures project type, material, and target install date so the shop can quote fast
- Logs whether it's structural steel, a railing, gate, stairs, or a repair right from the first conversation
- Builds a Good/Better/Best estimate that adds finish — galvanise, powder-coat, or paint — as its own line so margin holds
- Prompts for delivery and on-site installation so the whole scope gets priced, not just the steel

The trade-specific depth of the enterprise tools — without the enterprise bill or the per-seat math.
Metal Fabrication software questions, answered
Is there a mobile app for Metal Fabrication pros?+
Yes. Hero365 runs on iOS and Android, built for the field — quote, schedule, invoice, capture photos, and update jobs by voice right from the truck. The whole back office is in your pocket.
Can Hero AI really answer my calls and book jobs?+
Yes. The AI Concierge answers every call 24/7, qualifies the caller, checks your live availability, and books the job straight onto the calendar. The after-hours and overflow calls that used to go to voicemail become booked work.
Does Hero365 handle Metal Fabrication-specific compliance and paperwork?+
That's the point. On top of the shared core — scheduling, CRM, estimates, invoicing — Hero365 builds in the Metal Fabrication workflows and compliance the generic tools skip, so your records are ready the moment you need them.
How does Hero365 help me get paid faster?+
Hero AI drafts the invoice the moment a job closes, sends a card or bank-transfer payment link, and chases anything overdue on a reminder schedule you approve — so cash stops sitting in unsent invoices.
Do I have to move everything over at once?+
No. Import your customers and start with what hurts most — most Metal Fabrication shops switch on call answering and scheduling first, then add invoicing and follow-up. Setup takes a couple of minutes and the first 7 days are free.
How is this different from ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?+
Hero365 isn't just software you operate — it's an AI team that does the work: answering calls, drafting estimates, dispatching, invoicing, and following up. You get the trade-specific depth of the enterprise tools without the enterprise price or the per-seat math.
