At Eagle Metal, our TrueBuild® software gives you many advantages in efficiency, including for the critical, yet sometimes overlooked, process of scheduling. Our Job Management software gives fabricators the options they need to make scheduling as simple or as complex as they want it to be. From individual resource scheduling to overall operations planning, we have the flexible tools you need to build more.

Being a truss fabricator means being flexible. Scheduling changes are a task that everyone faces at least daily and sometimes more often than that. From weather delays to equipment breakdowns, scheduling remains in a very fluid state for all fabricators. TrueBuild® Job Management provides a clean, easy-to-use interface for scheduling. Fully customizable resources allow you to break your operation down as far as you want to. You can track everything separately from estimating to delivery. On the other hand, you can keep it as simple as a single delivery calendar for your entire company. Combining resources is also an option if you have a need to look at all phases of a quote or an order on one calendar. Drag and drop date changes make keeping up with delays efficient.

Instant visualization of capacity constraints gives you the ability to make decisions on the fly. Full control over colors, capacities, and even warning levels makes TrueBuild® Job Management the right tool for your operation. Multiple view options also offer the ability to give every member of your team exactly what they need without anything extra to navigate.

A good Job Management application should not be bulky, cumbersome, or intimidating. Instead, it should be intuitive to the user and be flexible enough to meet the needs of any size operation. It should have exactly what you need but nothing that you don’t. When we developed TrueBuild® Job Management, we wanted to achieve complete flexibility in managing jobs and scheduling your operation with a clean, easy-to-use interface. We are confident that we have delivered exactly that.

Next month, we will explore the flexibility of customer management and reporting. Like everything at Eagle Metal, the TrueBuild® software suite has been developed in-house to enable great component manufacturers to build more. Please contact us today to learn more and to see how we can add value to your business beyond connector plates.
