The integrated workflow
One workflow. Every step covered.
Estimating, production, nesting, and job costing stop being four disconnected systems. With ShopData 360 they’re one loop, and the loop closes on profit. Walk through it →
1
Estimate
Visual EstiTrack™
RFQ to quote in minutes, accurate, repeatable, and tied to real material and labor rates.
Quotes you can stand behind
2
Production order
Visual EstiTrack™
Release to the floor, check material availability, and schedule the job on the board.
Nothing falls through
3
Nest & cut
QuickCAM PRO · QuickDuct
The optimal nest is calculated across plasma, laser, water jet, or HVAC machines.
Max yield, min scrap
4
Job costing & profit
Visual Books™

The honest comparison
Built for your shop, not the enterprise.
The big ERP names were built for plants with IT departments. ShopData 360 gives you the same control, on the machines you already own, at a price a shop can actually justify.

| Plasma, laser, water jet, HVAC & structural | All of it | Varies | Add-on | Add-on |

Built for your shop
Software that knows your floor.
From HVAC duct to structural plate, ShopData 360 fits the way your shop actually runs.
HVAC Fabricators
The pain
Duct takeoffs and nesting eat hours, and you never really know which jobs actually made money.
How ShopData 360 solves it
QuickDuct CAM Master automates duct nesting and fabrication, while Visual EstiTrack and Visual Books track every actual cost against the estimate.
QuickDuct CAM Master Visual EstiTrack™ Visual Books™
General Fabricators
The pain
Mixed machines, custom one-off jobs, and tight quotes leave no room for guesswork.
How ShopData 360 solves it
QuickCAM PRO nests across every machine you own, and EstiTrack keeps estimates honest from RFQ through invoice.
QuickCAM PRO QuickCAM Bench+ Visual EstiTrack™
Structural Steel
The pain
Plate processing and Peddinghaus lines need tight integration, not another disconnected island.
How ShopData 360 solves it
Peddi-Nest drives Peddinghaus plate processing directly, while the ERP schedules, sequences and costs the work.
Peddi-Nest QuickCAM PRO Touch Scheduling Board
Machine Shops
The pain
Estimating, job costing and scheduling all live in spreadsheets that nobody trusts.
How ShopData 360 solves it
EstiTrack-primary: estimate, schedule, collect time and cost jobs, no CAD-CAM required to get full shop visibility.
Visual EstiTrack™ Ultimate Shop Kiosk System Executive Dashboard
Industrial Fittings
The pain
High-mix fittings production with thin margins makes per-SKU profitability hard to see.
How ShopData 360 solves it
Integrated nesting and costing surface the real margin on each part, so pricing reflects what the work actually costs.
