MonitGlass

What MonitGlass is

MonitGlass is cloud ERP and MES software for glass manufacturers and fabricators. It connects order entry and estimating with pricing, production, and dispatch, with support for flat-glass cutting, edging and CNC, tempering, laminating, monolithic glass, and insulating glass units. Its tools include glass estimating, cut list generation, fabrication workflows, and material tracking. Workers scan QR labels at production stations to update item status, while scheduling gives visibility into work in progress, scheduled work, and bottlenecks. The Android and iOS shop-floor app offers QR scanning, processing confirmation, and task lists. Orders can be imported from XLS files using reusable customer-specific column mappings and checks for missing or invalid data. The maker lists XLS integrations for Optima OptyWay, Intermac PerfectCut, and Boza frame benders. MonitGlass can export per-order settlement summaries as XLS for accounting workflows, but it does not offer accounting sync. The browser-based service requires no server maintenance. The maker says data is backed up, restricted to the customer's team, and exportable at any time. Facilities are individually scoped, with pricing based on operation size and modules; a customer's own environment is available for a 30-day trial.

Who it suits

MonitGlass suits glass processors making insulated, laminated, monolithic, or flat glass who need order, estimating, shop-floor, and dispatch workflows in one system. It may also suit teams that use QR-based production updates and XLS imports or exports.

Limits

There is no free plan. The trial lasts 30 days; ongoing pricing depends on operation size and modules and is set by custom quote.

Getting started

1. Visit monitglass.com and request a demo or pricing information.
2. Discuss operation size and required modules for an individually scoped facility.
3. Use the 30-day trial to access your own environment before commitment.
4. Access the cloud software in a browser and install the shop-floor app on Android or iOS phones or tablets.

Verdict

Glass processors looking to connect estimating, order entry, production, and dispatch should consider MonitGlass, especially if QR tracking and glass-specific workflows are central to their operation. Look elsewhere if accounting sync is essential or a published price is required before contacting the maker.
