⚡ The Problem

Running a plant on spreadsheets in 2026?

How much can unrecorded waste and downtime cost a plant? A rough scenario is $50K–$200K a year — an illustration, not a measured industry average.

📋
No visibility into material stock?
Spreadsheets go stale and stockouts halt production. PrecastForge tracks every kg in real time.
🔧
Equipment failing unexpectedly?
No maintenance schedule means costly downtime. Our system sends automated alerts before breakdowns.
💸
Payroll & GST/HST headaches?
Manual calculations waste hours and create compliance risk. We automate payroll, deductions, and reports.
📦
Orders slipping through cracks?
Custom orders tracked in scattered notes. PrecastForge centralizes every order with status and timeline.
👷
HR & safety compliance?
Employee records, certifications, and safety logs — all in one place, audit-ready.
📊
No real-time reporting?
Management decisions made on gut-feel. Our Gemini AI generates actionable factory reports on demand.

What plant managers are saying

★★★★★
✓ Verified customer

"Honestly wasn't expecting much — we've tried two other systems before. But the inventory tracking is solid and our guys actually use it. Waste is down noticeably since Q1."

"GST/HST reporting used to take our bookkeeper most of a Friday. Now it's maybe an hour. Setup took a bit longer than expected but the support team was responsive."

❓ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about deployment options, Canadian data residency, and enterprise licensing.

Cloud Managed ($490 CAD/mo) is our turnkey SaaS solution where Alberta Studio hosts, monitors, and maintains everything in Google Cloud Canada (Montreal/Toronto) with automated daily backups, CRA tax updates, and direct email & phone support (Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm MST). Private Cloud ($12,900 CAD one-time) is a permanent deployment directly into your plant's own Google Cloud / Firebase organization, giving your enterprise 100% sovereign ownership over the database, security rules, and infrastructure with zero external dependency.
In Cloud Managed, your data is securely hosted in Google Cloud Montreal (northamerica-northeast1) or Toronto with strict client isolation and daily encrypted backups. In Private Cloud, your data resides 100% inside your company's own Google Cloud account — Alberta Studio has zero access unless granted by you for scheduled maintenance. You retain complete sovereignty over your bills of materials, formulas, payroll, and customer records.
No. With Cloud Managed, you only need a modern web browser — we manage all cloud infrastructure, scaling, and updates. With Private Cloud, our engineering team handles the complete turnkey setup and deployment into your Google Cloud account for you, including custom domain setup, security rules, and automated backup schedules.
No. Unlike legacy ERPs (such as Katana or JobBOSS) that charge $100–$200 per user per month, PrecastForge has Zero Per-Seat Fees. Cloud Managed includes up to 50 active plant and office users, while Private Cloud includes unlimited users forever with no penalty for growing your workforce.
Yes, absolutely. Many plants begin on Cloud Managed for instant onboarding with zero upfront setup costs. If your corporate compliance or enterprise guidelines later require dedicated private cloud infrastructure, we can seamlessly migrate your live database, historical logs, and settings into your own Google Cloud account with zero downtime.
Yes. Both plans include onboarding sessions where we assist in importing your existing bills of materials (BOM), raw concrete mixes, equipment logs, and employee rosters from Excel or CSV files. Most plant data imports are completed in 1–2 hours.
Yes. PrecastForge is 100% tax-deductible for Canadian businesses. Cloud Managed subscriptions qualify as operational business expenses (OpEx), while Private Cloud deployments qualify as capital software investments eligible for CCA (Capital Cost Allowance) write-offs.
Your 14-day demo is a fully functional sandbox pre-loaded with realistic Canadian precast or timber plant data. No credit card is required. When your trial concludes, you can easily activate either Cloud Managed or Private Cloud, and we initialize your production environment with your live company data.
