How Arda Helps Fortitude Welding Eliminate Stockouts and Scale Production

Fortitude Welding & Fabrication is an owner-operated fab shop led by Sam Hackman. Running a lean team means every minute counts, and chasing parts isn't building.

Small-to-mid fab shops hit a ceiling when the owner is managing orders, tracking consumables, and running production simultaneously. Stockouts on welding wire, gas, or raw steel mean idle time and missed deadlines. Manual ordering doesn't scale.

Your shop floor orders for itself. Mount Arda cards at each welding station and material rack. When consumables hit reorder point, a quick scan fires the PO, skipping the spreadsheet, the phone call, and the forgotten order. Rossmonster (another fab shop) saw 4x revenue and 80% less inventory with this exact system.
