Leverage the Software to Make Your
Business More Profitable

At Metal Minds, we believe this software is the single greatest investment in your business.

Unlike a piece of equipment that just makes a localized improvement, software impacts your entire business and provides key information to make the best decisions. As you grow it continues to support your team be at their best.

Learn Best Practices and Apply Them
to Your Business

Our team will guide you through the setup process and show you all the basic workflows. 

Our industry and software experience allows me to help you personalize the software. We can make the adjustments that are best for you and your business.

Receive Ongoing Training
and Support

Implementing and learning the software is a process and takes a long-term commitment to get the most out of it.  Metal Minds will be there for you throughout your journey to keep you growing.

Take Advantage of Quick Implementation

The greatest expense of any change is the time you spend in the transition. 

Our experience gets you through this stage quickly to begin to benefit from the software.  No more figuring it out on your own.

Get Hands-On Training & Support

The cornerstone of our services is Onsite Implementation and Training. The impact is so much greater in person at your facility with your team. The depth of the software and your business requires week long chunks of time to get through the information. Typically timelines include approximately one week on Estimating and / or one week on Production; moving methodically through the related processes beginning to end. For implementations with a more experienced team, schedules can be structured to focus on specific areas you want to review and improve. After an initial week of training, support can shift to scheduled online meetings to answer simple process questions. These meetings can be tailored to your needs, from short one-hour sessions to in-depth multi-day workshops to foster continued growth. As we grow we will continue to offer services to meet needs of our clients.

Jason Eatherton

Owner and Founder

With extensive experience in both historic FabTrol and now industry leading Tekla Powerfab, Jason Eatherton is an ideal partner to help implement, train and equip your staff for success.
 
The goal of Metal Minds Hub is to help Fabrication companies maximize their use of Tekla Powerfab software and related integrations to run their business in the most efficient and profitable way.
 
During his time at TrueNorth Steel, Jason saw a wide range of things in the industry working with six different fabrication shops. Each with its own personality, relationship to its people, and talents that added to the work they did. This accelerated his understanding of the details of the business and how the software could help.

    After two years of trying to self-implement, we weren’t close to utilizing Powerfab well. We made more progress in one week with Jason than we did in the two years prior. We’re finally experiencing the benefit of the real-time, organized data that Powerfab offers. Our only regret is waiting so long to ask for help.

      During our week-long session Jason was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient and above all else speaks “FabTroleon” as he calls it from his years spent working at FabTrol. I could not think of an individual more perfectly suited to assist fabricators in their migration from FabTrol to PowerFab. Jason left us with a sense of calm and confidence and I 100% attribute his training as the reason we’re using PowerFab today.
