Suprata for flat glass, shower door and commercial glazing companies
Every piece of glass measured, cut, installed and paid for
Every piece of glass is a custom size, and some of it can never go back. Suprata's guided Flat Glass job runs openings, estimate, approval, ordering, the shop, the install and billing. Commercial Glazing adds bids to several contractors, submittals, change orders, pay applications and retainage.

What a normal week looks like without the right system
We hear these from flat glass, shower door and commercial glazing companies all the time. Here is what Suprata does about each one.
We ordered a tempered unit from the customer's phone measurement and paid for it twice.
Every opening records how it was measured, and rough sizes can be quoted but never reach the fabricator or the cutting table.
Frameless showers are where we lose money. One panel comes back 3/16 too wide.
The shower designer works out every panel, hinge cutout and hardware kit from three wall-to-wall widths and your hardware system's gaps.
We bid the same building to four contractors and do the takeoff four times.
Do the takeoff once and copy it to each contractor's bid; recording the award closes the other bids by itself.
The contractor holds back ten percent and I lose track of what we are owed on which job.
Pay applications bill against the schedule of values each month, make the lien waivers, and track retainage held until it is released.

Questions we hear
Straight answers
Asked by flat glass, shower door and commercial glazing companies before they switch.
Are the glass workflows part of Suprata Suite?
They are add-ons to Suprata Suite. Flat Glass and Commercial Glazing appear under Glass in your menu once they are on your plan; ask us and we will turn them on.
How does billing work on a commercial contract?
Each month you fill in percent complete and stored materials on the schedule of values. Submitting makes the invoice, the application and the lien waiver, and retainage is billed at the end.
Can customers send us their sizes and photos online?
Yes. Put the glass quote form on your website. Requests arrive in an inbox on the Flat Glass board.
What happens when a piece arrives broken or does not fit?
Record a remake with the reason and who pays. Fabricator mistakes go back as a vendor return, and customer-caused remakes can be billed.
