Manufacton

Cloud platform for prefabrication, offsite production, and material tracking

Manufacton is a cloud-based ERP platform that manages materials, offsite production, and onsite installation for construction teams. Now part of the Nemetschek Group (Allplan), it connects BIM models to shop fabrication workflows via real-time dashboards, QR code tracking, and integrations with Procore, Revit, and Primavera.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Offsite fabrication shops and general contractors managing prefabrication workflows lack real-time visibility into production status, material availability, and delivery readiness. Teams rely on spreadsheets and manual status calls to coordinate between the BIM model, prefab shop, and jobsite — causing schedule delays, delivery mismatches, and material waste estimated at 15-20% of project costs.

The Solution

Manufacton unifies production management, material tracking, and logistics on a single cloud platform. It connects Revit/BIM models to shop fabrication via QR code scanning and automated BOM allocation, streams live production status to Procore and Primavera schedules, and provides real-time dashboards that show every prefab assembly from design through delivery without manual status calls.
