We didn't set out to build software. We needed it.
FabrixCore came out of Keder Screens, a Texas manufacturer that runs its entire operation on it — dealers ordering online, work cards moving across the floor, freight booked, invoices paid, commissions calculated. Every feature exists because a real order needed it.
We know the other side too. We once spent forty thousand dollars on software built for our trade, and a year later were still quoting from spreadsheets and running the floor off a whiteboard, because it couldn't handle the way we actually build. One afternoon I tried to order a single stick of u-channel through it. After three hours, I gave up — and started building this instead.
That's why billing starts at go-live, not at signing — and why there's no translation layer between you and us. See a wrong cut sheet on the floor at 2pm? It's fixed and deployed by 3. A vendor with a support queue and a sprint board can't do that. Ever.
