Choosing software

Is there an ERP built for facade fabrication?

Yes. Spectr is an ERP built from the ground up for facade fabricators — metal panel and curtain wall — covering project structure, CAD-to-BOM, shop floor, crates, and installation. It is not a generic manufacturing suite with facade words bolted on.

Key facts

Most “fabrication ERPs” come from repetitive manufacturing or general job shops.
Facade-specific language — submittals, cutlists, crating, install tracking — is native in Spectr.
The architecture assumes non-serial, project-based products.
Integrations exist so you keep AutoCAD, Rhino, Sage, Jonas, and nesting tools.

How shops handle this

Read past the homepage adjectives
Ask to see a unique panel move from CAD to a scanned install.
Ask what was not customized
If phases, crates, and field scan are “we can add that,” it was not built for you.
Check implementation story
Purpose-built should not require a year of rewriting the data model.
Talk to people who hang panels
If only the controller likes the software, it will not stick on the floor.

Common questions

How is this different from customizing Epicor?

Customization recreates missing objects. Spectr already has the objects facade shops use every day.

Is it only for metal?

It is aimed at metal panel and curtain wall fabrication workflows — the shop-to-field pattern those shops run.
