Job logged
The office logs the job — customer, job type (shopfront, balustrade, splashback, shower), measure, site address and target date. Drawings attach to the job.
For glass & glazing shops
Run your glass shop
from the bench to install.
FactoryMate is job and production management software for Australian glass and glazing shops — shopfronts, balustrades, splashbacks and showers. It runs every job from the office and site measure, through processing and sign-off, to install and handover, with a full record of every step.

Measure to install
Built in Australia
Glass doesn’t break on the rack.
It breaks between people.
The measure’s in a notebook, the cut order on a whiteboard, the install in a group chat. A panel gets processed to the wrong size, or the fitter arrives without the brackets. FactoryMate puts the whole job — office, floor and install — in one place, with a record of every step.
How it works
Every glass job, one lifecycle.
From the job sheet to the customer’s signature on site. Office, floor and installer each see exactly the work that belongs to them.
02Approved
Measured & approved
Site measure confirmed, deposit in, glass and hardware ordered. The job can’t be processed until the measure’s approved — no panels cut to the wrong size.
03In production
Processing
The job moves through cut, toughen/lami, edgework and QA on a wall tablet. Every stage logged, so the office sees where a job is without walking out.
04Ready
Floor sign-off
Finished panels are signed into one audited record and locked for install. Any change needs an unlock, and every request is recorded.
05Scheduled
Install scheduled
The office plans the install run and assigns the fitter. The job flips to scheduled and the fitter gets the stop in planned order.
06Installed
Installed & signed off
On site the fitter captures photos, a customer signature and any breakage or defects. The job closes with the evidence attached.
Built for the whole shop
Three views. One job.
The office never sees the floor’s mess. The floor never carries the office’s spreadsheets. The installer gets a phone, a list and a signature.
Office
The job board for the shop
Filter by stage, customer or target date. See measures, deposits and orders, plan the install run — the whole shop at a glance.
Floor
A tablet on the wall
The team signs in with a PIN tied to the shop tablet. Move jobs through cut, processing and QA, mark up cut orders, sign off the day in seconds.
Fitter
A phone, a run, a signature
Today’s installs in planned order. On site: photos, a customer signature, a breakage note — all attached to the job, even with no signal.
Why glass and glazing shops
Made to fit a small shop.
Works with your processing tools
Keep your optimisation and cutting software. FactoryMate runs the jobs around them — it doesn’t replace the bit you already rely on.
Not an ERP project
The big manufacturing systems take months and cost a fortune to roll out. FactoryMate gives a glass shop the job and production tracking without the project.
Every action audited
Who moved a job, when, on which device — recorded. When a builder queries a remake or a date, you have the answer.
Australian-built
Made for AU glass and glazing shops, run and supported from Australia. You talk to the people who build it.
Where it fits
It runs the job, not the design.
Most software a glass shop touches does one of three things. FactoryMate is the missing middle — the layer that keeps the actual job moving.
Optimisation & cutting tools
Optimise it, cut it, process it
Optimisation and cutting software handle the glass itself. FactoryMate sits alongside them — it doesn’t replace them.
Full manufacturing ERPs
Powerful, heavy, pricey
Enterprise ERPs can run a whole factory — but they’re a long rollout and a big spend. Overkill for a shop that just needs the job tracked.

FAQ
Glass & glazing questions.
Does FactoryMate replace my glass optimisation or cutting software?
No. FactoryMate runs the job — processing, sign-off and install — and works alongside the optimisation and cutting software you already use. Your tools still optimise and cut; FactoryMate keeps the whole job moving and recorded.
Is FactoryMate an ERP?
No. FactoryMate is a lightweight job and production layer you can start this week — not a months-long ERP rollout. It tracks the job from the office, through processing, to install, and works alongside the optimisation, cutting and accounting tools you already run.
Can it stop panels being cut to the wrong size?
A job can’t move to processing until the measure-and-approval check is ticked, so a panel isn’t cut from an unconfirmed measure.
Does it handle different glass jobs — shopfronts, balustrades, showers?
Yes. Each job type runs through the same lifecycle with its own production stages, so shopfronts, balustrades, splashbacks and showers all sit on one board.
Can fitters use it on a phone?
Yes. The fitter gets today’s installs in planned order on a phone and captures photos, a customer signature and any breakage on site, all attached to the job.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is tailored to your shop — team size and how much of the lifecycle you use. Tell us about your shop and we’ll put together a straight number. Contact us for pricing.
Is my data safe, and where is it hosted?
Every shop runs on its own isolated tenant with its own database and storage, every action is recorded in a full audit log, and it’s built, run and supported from Australia.
