Custom fabrication shops — joinery, fit-out, furniture makers, stone studios, glass and aluminium specialists, metal fabricators and larger custom manufacturers. Anywhere a quote becomes a custom job that has to be priced, built and installed.

Excel is too loose — every team uses it differently and live truth disappears. ERPs are usually too heavy — they impose process the floor won't follow. Slabr sits in between: structured enough to be a single source of truth, light enough that operators actually use it.

It reads your live quotes, jobs, invoices and clients and hands you a ranked daily brief of what needs attention. From a chat you can ask it to draft a priced quote — in a few tones — write client replies and payment chases in your voice, check stock, raise an invoice from an accepted quote, or look up a job. It works the same live job record your team does, never a stale spreadsheet. Reading is automatic; anything that changes data or reaches a client is held for your approval first, so nothing goes out behind your back.

Most shops are quoting their first job in Slabr within a day. Full migration from a previous system typically takes one to three weeks depending on data volume and integrations. We have a guided onboarding process and an implementation team for larger setups.

Card payments via Paystack are live; Stripe is on the roadmap. Native sync with Xero, Sage Accounting and QuickBooks Online is planned — alongside Pastel and Zoho Books. Today, Slabr supports CSV exports and manual reconciliation against your accounting system. We confirm exactly what is live for your workspace during onboarding.

Slabr runs on tenant-isolated infrastructure with row-level security at the database. TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, role and capability-based access, append-only audit logging on critical security, job and finance actions, POPIA and GDPR aligned. A security and data-handling summary is available on request.

Yes — Slabr includes a token-authenticated client portal so your clients see the status they keep asking for, without phoning your team. You control what they see and when. Status updates on the portal as your team progresses through production stages.

Per-team subscription with module-level access. Most shops start on a single plan that covers Quotix, Flow, Track, Portal and Pulse. Larger shops add Asset, Inventory and Procurement. See the pricing page for current tiers.

Tell us. We ship every month and a meaningful share of the roadmap is driven by customer requests. We will tell you honestly whether something is on the roadmap, in scope, or not a fit — no marketing fog.

Yes. Set up a workspace and map your first quote to a job. We confirm what is live for your workspace during onboarding, and for larger shops we can run a guided walkthrough with sample data so you can see the system end-to-end before setting up your own data.
