Crows Nest

Crows Nest is an ERP and project management platform designed specifically for project-based manufacturers, subcontractors, fabricators, installers, and industrial production businesses. The software combines estimating, scheduling, project management, production tracking, inventory management, financial visibility, and installation workflows into one integrated operational system. One of Crows Nest’s strongest differentiators is its deep focus on project-driven manufacturing industries such as woodworking, millwork, cabinetry, fabrication, and custom production environments where estimating, resource coordination, inventory, and installation workflows must operate together seamlessly. The platform includes advanced estimating functionality with customizable product libraries, labor calculations, BOM structures, markup controls, and takeoff integrations with tools such as Bluebeam and PlanSwift. Crows Nest also provides workflow-driven task management, scheduling automation, purchasing, inventory control, production tracking, shipping logistics, work order management, and installation close-out tools. The platform integrates with accounting systems such as QuickBooks, Sage, and Xero while also supporting integrations with industry-specific applications including Microvellum and Cabinet Vision. The software includes Android and iOS mobile applications that support GPS-based labor tracking, punch-list management, site photo capture, barcode scanning, and field communication.
