Quote the job, buy the steel and ship the package from the same numbers.
Infrenta ties your quote, bill of material, mill orders, job cost and delivery to one project, so a design revision changes what you buy before the shop finds out.
Where manufacturing & fabrication jobs lose the thread.
The quote and the BOM drift apart.
Drawings change after the quote. The shop builds from the new BOM while purchasing orders against the old one.
Material prices move between quote and order.
Steel indices, galvanizing and tariffs change the cost of a job you already priced, and nobody can see by how much.
Job cost is known after the job ships.
Commitments, actuals and change requests live in separate files, so margin is found at the end instead of managed during the job.
Revise a quantity on Kestrel Distribution Centre steel package.
Kestrel Distribution Centre steel package’s estimate carries 486 t at $3,950. A design revision upsizes the mezzanine framing and adds bracing. Revise the quantity, issue the revision, and compare what each team is working from.

Rev 05 is a draft. Nobody downstream should use it until it is issued.
Infrenta does not change anyone’s numbers behind their back. It keeps the issued revision on the project, so the buyer, controls and the field start from it, and anyone can see which revision a record uses.
Illustrative demonstration. Projects and figures are fictional, not customer data.
Your words, mapped to one record.
Infrenta is configured for manufacturing & fabrication work. Each part of your process lands in the workflow that carries it forward.

What’s included for manufacturing & fabrication, and its status today.
Every workspace is opened by arrangement after a conversation. The label beside each capability says how far it is in the product today.
Universal estimating
In pilotStart from the Steel Fabrication pack: raw material, shop labour, coating, freight and scrap.
An issued revision where every total opens into its quantity, rate and formula.
Used by invited estimators while the engine replaces the classic estimator.
Classic estimating
In the productRacking and ground-mount structure manufacturers can quote in the classic estimator today.
An approved estimate published to the project.
Drawings
In the productExtract bills of material from drawings and compare revisions.
Reviewed quantities and a record of what changed between drawing revisions.
Proposals
In the productBranded quotes with pricing, assumptions and exclusions.
A reviewed proposal document and PDF tied to the project.
Procurement
In the productBuy material and services against the issued quantities.
An awarded commitment on the same lines the estimate issued.
Comparison never awards a supplier. A buyer does.
Project Controls
In the productJob cost, commitments, change records and forecast by cost code.
Estimate at completion and variance on the structure the estimate issued.
It is not a general ledger or treasury system.
Execution
In the productDeliveries and erection progress when your scope includes site work.
Installed quantities in the units of the estimate, and the closeout record.
It is not a compliance-certification system.
Steel Intelligence
Reference dataStored steel index, consumption, galvanizing and escalation assumptions.
A documented steel assumption behind an estimate or a buy.
It is not a live mill quote.
Trade & Tariff
Reference dataStored origin and duty scenarios before you lock a source.
A recorded duty and origin assumption.
A stored reference catalog. It is not customs, legal, or tax advice.
Freight and logistics
Reference dataFreight estimates and landed-cost comparisons for deliveries.
A freight and landed-cost assumption on the package.
Rates are estimates, not carrier quotes.
