EVOLVE Shop replaces scattered Excel sheets and email threads with a centralized, organized system for handling requests and execution. It standardizes the workflow by clearly defining the task, required activities, and associated bill of materials or deliverables. This ensures better tracking, communication, and consistency across all work being performed.

Revit to Work Request
The Revit to Shop integration streamlines the process of sending deliverables directly from Revit to Shop with a single click. It eliminates the need to manually create PDFs and Excel files, reducing the steps and potential errors involved in traditional workflows. This integration removes the need for emails and manual file handling, significantly improving efficiency.

Insights and Analytics
Insights and analytics provide users with visibility into their shop’s throughput by displaying metrics like work order volume over time, percentage of late orders, and average manufacturing and production lead times. This enables users to analyze performance and identify areas for improvement.

Kanban and Calendar Views
Kanban and calendar views provide visual alternatives to list views, offering users a clearer, more intuitive understanding of production. Kanban shows the status of all work orders at a glance, giving a macro view of progress, while calendar views display when tasks are due, helping users manage schedules more effectively.

Custom Catalog Creation
The parts catalog includes a ready-to-use list of common commodity items and allows companies to create custom catalogs that reflect their own standardized parts. This replaces manual methods like PDFs or emails by providing an organized interface where users can view standards and submit detailed, consistent requests.

Out of the box, users receive a parts catalog filled with common commodity items like boxes and fittings, essential for everyday ordering and building accurate bills of material. The custom catalog feature allows companies to define and organize their own standardized parts—like custom hangers with multiple variants—into a structured, searchable interface. This eliminates the need for manual requests via PDFs or emails, ensuring that field users can easily find and request standard items with all necessary details included.

Bill of Materials
The tool enables users to define a bill of materials (BOM) for each work item, which is then automatically aggregated at the work order level. This is crucial for ensuring that all necessary materials are identified and organized for purchasing and production. It simplifies the process for shop users to generate accurate material lists for ordering.

Status Automation
Status automation based on task progress provides real-time updates throughout the entire lifecycle of a request, from ordering to completion. This eliminates the need for constant follow-ups and emails by keeping all stakeholders informed automatically. Users gain full visibility into the status of their requests, reducing confusion and improving communication across teams.

Evolve Shop offers a range of benefits designed to streamline project workflows and enhance team collaboration. By reducing reliance on phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets, it simplifies communication and centralizes information. The platform enables teams to collaborate across all projects in one unified space, improving visibility and ease of use. Additionally, Evolve Shop helps align Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) with prefab processes, ultimately increasing productivity and operational efficiency in prefab workflows.
