Frequently asked questions
What is HelpFab?
HelpFab is manufacturing operations software for small factories. It combines inventory tracking, issue tracking, project tracking and job costing, work orders, quality, and preventive maintenance in one platform.
Who is HelpFab for?
HelpFab is built for manufacturing teams of 5 to 50 people, such as job shops and small factories, that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need a full ERP.
How much does HelpFab cost?
HelpFab has a free plan that includes one app. The Basic plan includes three apps, and All Access includes unlimited apps. Current pricing — Free: Free, Basic: $5/month, All Access: $20/month.
How is HelpFab different from an ERP?
An ERP is a large system that usually needs consultants and months of setup. HelpFab is modular: you turn on only the apps you need, start with one, and add more as you grow.
Can HelpFab replace Excel for tracking production and inventory?
Yes. HelpFab can replace Excel: it swaps spreadsheet trackers for shared, real-time records that the whole shop floor can update, plus reports such as Pareto charts and job costing that spreadsheets make hard to maintain.
Does HelpFab work on phones and tablets?
Yes. HelpFab runs in a browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop, so operators can log issues, scan inventory, and update work orders from the shop floor.
Do I need special hardware?
No. HelpFab uses QR codes that you scan with a phone or tablet camera, and it prints labels on a standard label printer.
How long does it take to get started?
You can sign up for free and start using your first app the same day, without a consultant or an implementation project.
