Question for fabrication owners: how do you currently know whether yesterday's shift was profitable?
If the answer involves waiting for end-of-month reports, chasing operators for handwritten timesheets, or estimating based on what was invoiced, SigmaNEST Shop Manager is worth a serious look.
It captures real production data at the machine, in real time. Material used, time on the cut, downtime reasons, scrap reported. That data flows back into the same system your nesting and quoting runs on, so the picture is consistent from quote to invoice.
