How EVOLVE Shop Helps Manage, Monitor & Track Production on the Shop Floor

November 17, 2025

Turning Prefab Planning into Actionable Workflows 

In this fast-paced industry, even the most advanced BIM workflows can break down when it’s time to move from model to fabrication. That’s where EVOLVE Shop comes in. 
Empower your fabrication and field teams with a connected, data-driven work order management system built specifically for MEP workflows.  

EVOLVE Shop centralizes your project operations: connecting design, fabrication, and installation teams through an intelligent platform designed to increase productivity, transparency, and profitability. 

Instead of juggling spreadsheets, emails, and paper tickets, Shop centralizes every work order: giving project managers, detailers, and shop leads instant visibility into what’s being built, what’s in progress, and what’s ready for installation. 

Work Order Management Made Simple 

At the core of EVOLVE Shop is work order management, the foundation for efficient prefab operations. 
Here’s how it helps your team stay aligned and deliver faster: 

  • Assign ownership and set due dates: Ensure every task is clearly defined and owned, whether by a foreman, designer, or shop lead. 


  • Monitor progress in real time: Track the status of fabrication, assembly, or delivery without having to chase updates. 


  • Standardize your prefab process: Keep workflows consistent across projects and locations with templates and role-based permissions. 


 


Here's a Breakdown of Other Shop Features: 

  • Work Order Management (as seen above) 


  • Create, assign, and track work orders from a single interface. Keep your teams aligned from spool creation to installation with clear visibility into every stage of production.  


  • Time & Task Tracking  


  • Log hours, monitor progress, and measure performance across crews and tasks. Gain real-time insight into labor productivity and shop efficiency.  


  • Status Tracking & Progress Visibility  


  • Instantly view the status of every job—from queued to completed. Manage priorities dynamically and keep projects moving on schedule.  


  • Revit-Integrated Model Viewer  


  • Seamlessly integrate with Revit to visualize spools and fabrication models directly within EVOLVE Shop. Empower your teams with 3D context for better accuracy and coordination.  


  • Spool Packaging & BIM/VDC Workflow Support  


  • Package and manage spools efficiently through direct ACC ntegration. Support your Virtual Design & Construction workflows with automated data synchronization between Revit and your fabrication processes.  


  • Bill of Material (BOM) Creation  


  • Automatically generate detailed Bills of Material directly from your Revit models or work orders. Ensure material accuracy, reduce manual data entry, and streamline procurement and fabrication planning.  


  • Analytics & Insights  


  • Turn data into decisions with detailed analytical dashboards. Track production trends, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve shop performance through actionable metrics. 


Built for Collaboration Between Design, Shop, and Field 

EVOLVE Shop closes the communication loop between BIM and the field. 
When a work order is created, every stakeholder (from the modeler to the installer) has access to the same data and drawings. If an update is made in Revit, it automatically syncs, ensuring the shop and field teams are never working from outdated information. 

This real-time transparency not only reduces rework but also makes it easier to forecast labor needs, material requirements, and delivery schedules. 

From Insight to Impact 

For forward-thinking contractors, EVOLVE Shop isn’t just a workflow tool, it’s a project visibility platform
With built-in analytics and dashboards, leadership teams can see exactly where bottlenecks occur and identify areas for improvement across multiple projects. That means fewer surprises, faster turnaround times, and better profitability. 

The Future of  Efficiency Starts Here 

EVOLVE Shop gives MEP contractors the control and confidence to scale prefabrication with precision. By simplifying work order management and connecting every stage of the process, it empowers teams to move from design to delivery (but without the friction). 

Whether you’re managing hundreds of work orders or just getting started with prefab, EVOLVE Shop helps you plan smarter, build faster, and deliver with confidence.
