Why Frontier

Built for the way metal manufacturers actually work.

From stock to custom, one configurator

Frontier’s dimensional configurator handles everything from standard stock to custom dimensions, and every order generates its BOM, routing, schedule, and pricing automatically.

Quick-ship, without guessing

Material and production planning give you real visibility into availability and capacity at the time of quoting, so delivery commitments are accurate.

Less scrap, tighter costs

Material optimization is built into production planning, cutting waste and improving job costing. Frontier supports engineer-to-order, make-to-order, and assemble-to-order.

The engine

The configurator at the heart of Frontier.

Enter your engineering rules once, and every quote, order, and dealer entry stays accurate and buildable, whether it’s a standard cut or a custom fabrication. Frontier’s product configurator has powered custom manufacturing since 1989. Frontier is built and supported by Friedman Corporation, which has focused on custom manufacturers since 1980.
