Canopy & Custom Gate Welding Shop Management: 3-Milestone Dispatch Gates & Margin-Safe Welder Commissions

Welding, Canopy & Gate Shop Operations•8 Min Read•Updated 2026-11-15
Key Workshop Takeaway:Fabrication shops lose money when custom gates or canopies get bolted onto a client's property with only a 30%–50% deposit collected. Requiring 80% cumulative payment before the installation truck leaves the yard eliminates bad debt.

1. Enforce the 80% Pre-Dispatch Milestone Gate (`50% / 30% / 20%`)

LasOS structures every fabrication contract into three clear milestones: Milestone 1 Material Deposit (50%), Milestone 2 Welded & Epoxy-Painted Pre-Dispatch (30% = 80% cumulative), and Milestone 3 Installed Handover BAST Settlement (20%).

Before advancing a job to `Site Installation (Installing)`, `evaluateDispatchTerminGate` immediately alerts the owner if cumulative payments are below 80%, preventing costly post-installation collection disputes.

  • 1-tap WhatsApp shop progress updates & milestone payment reminders.
  • 1-click balance settlement via QRIS, Bank Transfer, or Cash.
  • Printable SPK work orders & BAST handover certificates stamped with `GAR-LAS-...` warranty codes.

2. Margin-Safe Welder & Site Installer Commissions

Never pay percentage staff commissions on raw hollow steel or insulated roofing COGS. On `material_besi_atap` items, LasOS deducts `costPrice * quantity` first so percentages apply strictly to net workshop margin.

  • Commissions accrue strictly on settled (`PAID`) invoices.
  • Automatic cash-advance (`kasbonBalance`) deductions and instant CSV payroll export.

Shop-Floor Implementation Checklist

  • Collect a 50% material deposit before cutting custom hollow steel lengths.
  • Send epoxy-primed shop inspection photos to collect Milestone 2 (reaching 80%) prior to delivery.
  • Issue a `GAR-LAS-...` structural weld warranty seal upon final BAST handover.
