Welding and Fabrication Task Management App
Turnboards gives welders, metal fabricators, and small fabrication shops a simple way to manage work items, organize shop projects, and keep employees clear on what needs to happen next.
Create boards for jobs, customers, shop areas, or project phases. Add the work items your team needs, group related work for the shop, assign tasks to employees, and move jobs from Backlog to Active to Complete.
Organize Welding Projects by Job, Customer, or Shop Area
Welding and fabrication work gets hard to manage when every cut list, fixture note, repair, and delivery reminder lives in a text thread. Turnboards lets each job or shop area have its own board so the right work stays together.
- Create a board for a customer job, trailer repair, railing project, structural package, mobile welding call, or fabrication bay.
- Keep estimates, shop work, punch list items, and pickup details separated by project.
- Open a board in the shop and see only the work items that matter for that job.
Create Work Items Fast for Every Step in the Shop
Turnboards works like a lightweight work item tracker for welders and fabricators. Add the steps that keep a project moving, then update each item as the team cuts, fits, welds, grinds, paints, inspects, and ships.
- Add work items for material ordering, cutting, bending, fitting, tacking, welding, cleanup, coating, and delivery.
- Capture small tasks before they disappear during a busy shop day.
- Break larger fabrication projects into clear steps that employees can actually complete.
- Use simple names so anyone on the crew can understand the next action.
Group Work Items for Your Fabrication Shop
A fabrication shop usually has work moving through several hands at once. Turnboards helps you group related work items so shop tasks, field tasks, customer requests, and follow-up items do not blur together.
- Group tasks by project phase, work area, crew, customer, or priority.
- Keep shop prep separate from field installation, repair work, and final punch list items.
- Give employees a clean task list instead of a long, mixed pile of shop notes.
Share Tasks With Employees and Crews
When work is passed from layout to cutting to welding to finishing, ownership matters. Turnboards makes it easy to share tasks with employees so each person can see the work they are responsible for.
- Assign a board to the crew handling a job or shop area.
- Assign individual work items to welders, fabricators, installers, helpers, or supervisors.
- Let employees filter to their assigned tasks before they start work.
- Use Turnboards during a morning huddle to agree on what is active today.
Track Backlog, Active Work, and Completed Tasks
Shop priorities change when material shows up late, a customer adds a change, a machine goes down, or a field crew needs something finished first. Turnboards keeps task management simple with three clear statuses: Backlog, Active, and Complete.
Put future work in Backlog, move today's welding and fabrication tasks into Active, and mark finished work Complete so the shop can see progress without hunting through messages, whiteboards, or spreadsheets.
Keep Notes With Each Welding Task
Some fabrication work needs context: a measurement, material size, weld process, finish requirement, customer preference, field dimension, or reminder about what changed. Notes in Turnboards keep that information attached to the work item.
- Add notes for measurements, materials, due dates, fit-up details, coating requirements, and customer approvals.
- Record questions that need an answer before a welder or fabricator starts.
- Keep job details with the task instead of scattered across paper, texts, and memory.
Simple Project Management for Welders and Fabricators
Turnboards is not built to be heavy enterprise project management software. It is for welding businesses and fabrication shops that need a practical way to create work items, group shop tasks, share assignments with employees, and see what is done.
If your team needs work and task management for welders and fabricators, Turnboards gives your shop a simple place to organize projects and keep the next task clear.
