Minneapolis and St. Paul run a deep, design-driven countertop market on a short, weather-bound calendar. SlabOS is the all-in-one platform that helps Twin Cities shops win more bids with faster 2D→3D quoting, hold margin with automatic slab nesting, and run the whole shop — both metros, every crew — on one login.

Minneapolis–St. Paul is a mature, remodel-heavy market with a serious appetite for design. Older housing stock around the lakes and the river — Linden Hills, Kenwood, Como, Highland Park — keeps a steady kitchen-and-bath remodel pipeline going, while newer growth pushes out through Maple Grove, Woodbury, Lakeville and Plymouth. Lower-level and basement build-outs, a near-necessity in a cold climate, add a whole second category of countertop work most Sun Belt metros don't have.
But it all runs against the calendar. The deep-winter freeze compresses templating and installs into a busy spring-to-fall stretch, and homeowners book remodels to land before the holidays. When the window is short, the shop that quotes fast, accurately, and visually — the first time — is the one that fills the season.
Draw the job in 2D. The homeowner sees it in live 3D.
A long, hard winter packs templating and installs into a busy stretch. When the calendar tightens, slow estimating costs you jobs you had the capacity to run.
Edina, Linden Hills and Highland Park homeowners want to see the finished kitchen — a flat line drawing doesn't win a discerning remodel client.
Finished basements with wet bars and second kitchens are a Minnesota staple — extra surfaces, extra cutouts, extra line items per job.
Book-matched, big-vein stone is a favorite in upscale Lake Minnetonka and Wayzata kitchens — exactly where slab layout and yield decide the margin.
North Loop, downtown St. Paul and the suburban office corridors mean larger fit-outs, more line items, and more crews to coordinate.
A template in Eagan, an install in Maple Grove, a slab pickup off the 494/694 loop — crews and schedules have to line up across both cities and the whole ring.
Neighborhoods and suburbs are named only to describe the Minneapolis–St. Paul market in general. SlabOS makes no claim about, and does not reference, any specific local fabrication business.
Draw the countertop in 2D and watch it render in real-time 3D as you go. Pricing updates live off your own Twin Cities price lists — edges, cutouts, thickness, splash — so the number is right the moment the design is.
A homeowner in Edina or a builder out in Woodbury sees the finished kitchen, not a flat sketch — and gets a number on the spot. When the build season is short and design expectations are high, being the fast, professional, three-dimensional shop is how you book the work before the calendar fills.
One login for the estimating desk, the 3D studio, the schedule, and the crew in the field.
When the season is short, every job has to pay. SlabOS nests your pieces automatically — one click runs roughly 30,000 placement operations to find a best-fit layout that gets more out of every slab. Fewer slabs per kitchen is straight margin, and it's how you keep a compressed Twin Cities season profitable.
Moraware's stack has nesting too — but it's done by hand. Manual layout means padding "to be safe," and on book-matched quartzite or marble for a Lake Minnetonka remodel that yield you give away is exactly the margin you needed to win the job. Automatic nesting lets you bid sharper without bleeding profit.
One click tests tens of thousands of placements per slab.
Canadian Countertops used SlabOS nesting to underbid a $1M+ job — and held their margin doing it. The same automatic-yield advantage applies to every Twin Cities bid, from a single-kitchen remodel in St. Paul to a multifamily tower in the North Loop.
SlabOS clearly understands how to strike the right balance between fabrication and software. My only gripe: I didn't discover it sooner.
UI, integrations, performance, pricing ROI, sales features, support, onboarding, AI, the quoting engine, KPIs. Nothing to dislike — it's everything we've ever wanted.
CounterGo to quote, Systemize for jobs and the calendar, a separate Inventory product for slabs — re-keyed by hand.
Manual layout means padding for safety — yield you give away on every Twin Cities bid, season after season.
Design-minded Twin Cities homeowners want to picture the finished job — a flat drawing doesn't sell the way 3D does.
DIY exports and spreadsheets to move your own history — so shops stay stuck.
If your Twin Cities shop is on the Moraware stack — CounterGo, Systemize, and a separate Inventory product stitched together — SlabOS replaces all three with one platform, one login, one bill.
And the switch is done for you. We migrate accounts, contacts, quotes (with the actual drawings), jobs, activity history, calendar, and slab inventory. Canadian Countertops moved 20,000+ jobs and 18,000+ quotes in about four hours — quoting in SlabOS the same day. Time the switch for the slow winter stretch and you're running clean by the time the season opens, with no data left behind and everything searchable from day one.
“All of it came over in an afternoon — 18,000+ quotes and our full job history migrated in about 4 hours. Nothing was lost. We were quoting in SlabOS the same day.”
Book a demo and we'll draw one of your actual jobs in 3D, nest it onto a slab, quote it live off your price list, and show you the whole shop running on one screen.

Yes. The Twin Cities is a deep, design-conscious, remodel-heavy market that runs on a short, weather-bound build season — older housing around the lakes and the river keeps a steady kitchen-and-bath pipeline, new growth pushes out through Maple Grove and Woodbury, and finished-basement build-outs add a whole extra category of work. SlabOS is built for that pressure: fast 2D→3D quoting to win bids before the calendar fills, automatic slab nesting to hold margin on granite, quartz and book-matched quartzite, plus scheduling, a mobile crew app, slab inventory, a customer portal, and built-in AI — all on one login. It works for a two-person shop and scales to a multi-crew operation running across both cities and the suburban ring.
Yes. Moraware is three products — CounterGo for quoting, Systemize for jobs and the calendar, and a separate Inventory product for slabs — that you stitch together by hand. SlabOS replaces all three with one platform: quoting, live 3D, scheduling, the crew app, slab inventory, the customer portal, and AI under a single login and one flat bill. The biggest practical difference is nesting — Moraware nests slabs manually, SlabOS does it automatically — which is where Twin Cities shops recover the margin that keeps a compressed season profitable. See the full SlabOS vs Moraware breakdown.
It's done for you. We migrate your accounts, contacts, quotes (with the actual drawings), jobs, activity history, calendar, and slab inventory — your shop doesn't have to wrangle exports and spreadsheets. As a reference point, Canadian Countertops moved 20,000+ jobs and 18,000+ quotes across in about four hours and were quoting in SlabOS the same day. Many Twin Cities shops time the switch for the slow winter stretch so they're running clean by the time the season opens — same path, nothing left behind, everything searchable from day one.
When the build season is short, every job has to carry its weight. SlabOS nests your pieces automatically — one click runs roughly 30,000 placement operations to find a best-fit layout that gets more out of every slab. That recovered yield is real margin: it lets you bid sharper without cutting into profit, instead of padding the slab count by hand "to be safe." On book-matched quartzite and marble — popular in upscale Lake Minnetonka and Edina kitchens — the difference is even bigger. See how nesting works.
Yes. The same platform handles a single-kitchen remodel in Linden Hills, a finished-basement bar in Eagan, and a multi-crew commercial fit-out in the North Loop or downtown St. Paul. Quoting, live 3D, scheduling, slab inventory, the crew app, and the customer portal all live in one system, so larger jobs with more line items and more crews stay coordinated across the Twin Cities' two-downtown, 494/694-ring footprint instead of fragmenting across three products and a spreadsheet.
Pricing is custom to your shop — one flat platform fee for the whole system (drawing, quoting, scheduling, inventory, crew app, portal, and AI) with unlimited seats, instead of paying per-product and per-seat across three separate tools. See the pricing page, or book a demo and we'll set the right plan for a Twin Cities operation your size.
