Your Front Office
Runs Itself

Hero ERP quotes new jobs in seconds and re-quotes repeat orders in one click — then auto-schedules production and handles every customer touchpoint. Your team stays on the floor where they belong.

The market is massive. The problem is real.
Hero ERP closes it.

Three things your front office needs — automated.

AI Quoting + Repeat Orders

Paste an RFQ and get a quote in seconds. For repeat customers, one click pulls their last order, pre-fills every field, and generates a fresh quote — no re-entering specs your shop already knows.

New jobs: seconds. Repeat jobs: one click.
📅

Production Scheduling

Accept a quote and Hero ERP automatically creates a production job with stage-by-stage Gantt scheduling — procurement, cutting, machining, welding, finishing, QC, and shipping — across your shop's real capacity.

No more whiteboard chaos
💬

Customer Comms

Quotes go out automatically. Status updates get handled. Follow-ups happen on schedule. Customers stop calling your team for updates because they already have them.

Your team stays on the floor

Your best estimator shouldn't be your bottleneck

Most fab shops run quoting through one or two senior people who carry decades of pricing knowledge in their heads. When they're busy, quotes stack up. When they leave, that knowledge walks out the door.

  • Quotes take days, not minutes

    Customers send RFQs. Your estimator is buried. By the time you respond, they've already gone with someone faster.

  • 📊

    Pricing lives in someone's head

    Material costs, labor rates, machine time. All tribal knowledge. No system captures it, so every quote starts from scratch.

  • 📞

    Customers call for status updates

    Where's my order? When does it ship? Your team spends hours on the phone instead of on the floor.

  • 📆

    Scheduling is a whiteboard and a prayer

    Jobs get shuffled. Machines sit idle. Rush orders blow up the whole plan. Nobody knows the real capacity.

From first RFQ to final shipment — automated.

MetalMind handles every step of the project lifecycle. Your team stays on the floor, not the phone.
