Job Estimating & Quoting
Feature-based estimating that pulls real material costs, machine rates, and labor standards from the ERP - generating accurate, margin-aware quotes in minutes and converting approved quotes directly to production orders.
Quote accurately, nest efficiently, and track heat numbers from raw stock to finished part. VOIITS gives UAE metal fabricators real-time job cost visibility, automated material yield optimization, and the certification traceability customers in ADNOC, structural construction, and defense demand.
The Challenge
Each one handled out of the box - no spreadsheets, no workarounds.
Actual yield posted per job in real time - quote assumptions tightened with every run.
Live job queue feeds the nest engine - consumption writes back automatically, no manual entry.
Daily scrap dashboards by job and station - intervene before thin margins disappear.
Remnants tracked by dimension and value - allocated to future jobs before new plates are ordered.
Capabilities
Precision job costing, nesting, and traceability tools built for custom metal fabrication shops.
Feature-based estimating that pulls real material costs, machine rates, and labor standards from the ERP - generating accurate, margin-aware quotes in minutes and converting approved quotes directly to production orders.
DXF import and nest plan linkage inside the ERP job workflow. Track remnant inventory, calculate theoretical vs. actual yield per nest, and optimize stock utilization across concurrent jobs.
Assign heat numbers and mill certifications at material receipt and maintain the link through every cut, form, and weld operation - producing full material traceability reports on demand for customer and third-party audits.
Work-center load visualization across plasma, laser, press brake, welding, and finishing operations. Finite scheduling with drag-and-drop job sequencing and delivery-date simulation before committing to the customer.
FAQ
The things growing UAE teams ask us most before getting started.
Yes. VOIITS provides integration adapters for major nesting platforms and consumes CNC program feedback files to capture actual material usage per cut session. Consumption posts to the originating work order automatically - recording the nest program used, sheet dimensions, and any remnant created - without manual data entry by machine operators.
When a cutting operation partially consumes a plate or coil, VOIITS automatically creates a remnant record with the actual remaining dimensions and weight. The MRP engine allocates available remnants to future jobs before generating purchase requisitions, and remnant values are calculated proportionally from the original purchase cost to maintain accurate inventory valuation.
VOIITS generates a post-job cost analysis comparing estimated vs. actual material yield, labour hours, and machine runtime for every completed job. Estimators review results by job type, material grade, or customer to spot systematic gaps, and actual ERP averages gradually replace rule-of-thumb assumptions - compressing the spread between quoted and actual margin.
Yes. VOIITS handles discrete work orders for custom one-off jobs alongside rate-based scheduling for repetitive blanking or stamping runs under blanket purchase orders. Actual cost collection applies to custom jobs and standard cost variance reporting to repetitive runs, with mixed environments - same machine cell handling both - fully supported in one production module.
VOIITS supports mill certificate capture at goods receipt, lot traceability from raw plate through finished cut parts, and non-conformance management with documented disposition for automotive, aerospace, and pressure-vessel supply chains. ISO 9001 audit trails covering calibration records, inspection results, and corrective actions are maintained in the quality module and exportable for auditor review.
Smaller UAE fabrication shops typically go live on Finance, Procurement, Inventory, and Production in 10-14 weeks using VOIITS FastTrack, a pre-configured deployment for job-shop environments. Migration focuses on open jobs, active item masters, and vendor records, with historical data retained in a read-only export and AMC-included support to tune the system in the months after go-live.
