From first enquiry
to the final fit.

A purpose-built SaaS platform for UK kitchen worktop fabricators, replacing the patchwork of spreadsheets, quote templates, design software, and shared calendars that most fabrication businesses rely on to run a job from enquiry to install.

A worktop job is deceptively complex. By the time a customer’s kitchen is finished, that single job has touched sales, templating, CAD, scheduling, materials, install, and invoicing. Most UK fabricators stitch all of this together with Excel, WhatsApp threads, paper job bags, and whichever generic CRM they tried last. Information gets re-typed at every stage. Quotes take hours instead of minutes. Jobs slip between templater, workshop, and installer because nobody has a single view. Material is over-ordered because remnants aren’t tracked. The owner ends up doing admin in the evenings that should have been automatic.

The off-the-shelf options don’t help. Generic job-management platforms don’t understand cutouts, drainer grooves, edge profiles, or seam geometry. The enterprise stone-industry systems built for large manufacturers are wildly over-priced and over-engineered for a typical UK fabricator running a workshop and a few crews.

We started by spending time with the actual workflow — how an enquiry becomes a quote, how a templater records measurements, how a job moves to the shop floor, how an install gets booked. The throughline was clear: the work itself is highly skilled and varies job-to-job, but the process around it is remarkably consistent. That meant a properly-fitted SaaS could absorb most of the admin without taking anything away from the craft.

We deliberately didn’t try to build a tool that does everything. The brief was tight: solve the parts of the workflow that hurt most, and treat the things that matter to fabricators — cutouts, joints, drainer grooves, edge profiles, slab nesting — as first-class features rather than abstract line items.

FabriOp is three modules built around a single record: the job. A client enquiry becomes a project, a project becomes a quote, a quote becomes a scheduled job, and a finished job becomes an invoice — all without re-typing anything.

The CRM holds clients, contacts, sites, files, and a chronological timeline of every interaction. The design tool is a canvas-based worktop designer that draws the way fabricators actually work: centreline drawing, multi-part layouts, automatic seam handling, edge profiles per side, UK-standard appliance cutouts, drainer grooves, and slab nesting. As you draw, the quote prices itself. Materials, edges, cutouts, and fabrication all calculate live, then export as a branded PDF with the 2D plan embedded. Job management runs the workflow that follows: a sales pipeline kanban, a weekly crew calendar with drag-and-drop scheduling, and stage tracking from “awaiting template” through “installed”.

The platform ships with 570+ products pre-seeded from ten major UK supplier catalogues — Caesarstone, Silestone, Dekton, Compac, Technistone, Neolith, Corian, Hi-Macs, CRL Stone, and Quarella — so a new fabricator can quote real material from day one without any data entry.
