ProfitFab

ProfitFab is designed for the Sheet Metal, Plastics, Machine Shop, and all other OEM and Make-to-Order Manufacturers. Put simply, it is about solving a specific business problem with software.

The natural audience is teams in its space. They also list Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

ProfitFab is based in Wharton, Texas and founded in 1991. Their site is profitfab.com.

Our checklist for this category: pricing, support, and how it fits with the tools you already use. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with ProfitFab, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
