SlabOS distinguishes physical inventory from the layout proposed for a quote. Receiving, allocation, consumption and remnants describe the material's history; nesting describes how pieces fit on selected slabs. The public nesting, labels and warehouse pages explain these connected but distinct parts of material management.
Inputs this workflow uses
Individual slabs, dimensions, material identity, location and countertop pieces.
Outputs to evaluate
Inventory records, planned layouts, stock holds and applicable remnant records.
A representative demonstration
Follow a sample slab from receipt into a quoted layout and show its subsequent consumption and remnant history.
Bring a representative job to a SlabOS demo and see how this capability fits your shop’s work.
Scope and availability
A layout is not proof that a slab was cut. Yield results need actual constraints, a stated denominator and retained output.
A closer look at the decisions, details and handoffs that make the work happen.
Lock This Layout
Twenty minutes matching the vein by hand. Lock that slab, hit Auto-Nest, and everything else reshuffles around it. The locked slab comes back exactly as you left it, and an island seamed across two slabs holds both in place. slabos.com
See SlabOS lock an inventory slab during selection so one job wins the simultaneous pick. The other receives a clear message to choose again, without adding the slab.
Change one dimension on the drawing, click Auto Nest, and SlabOS re-nests the job on real slabs: a 12-inch longer range run takes this kitchen from 2 slabs to 3, before any stone is ordered.

SlabOS - The drawing changes. Follow the nest. (26 seconds, no voice-over; music and sound effects only)
The drawing changes. A kitchen drawing with three countertops, CT1 (an L-shaped sink run with a sink), CT2 (a range run) and CT3 (an island), has already been nested on 2 slabs. The CT2 range run is 60 inches. The user clicks the dimension and types 72. CT2 grows 12 inches on the drawing. The pieces go back to the existing nest: 2 slabs, Slab 1 and Slab 2, nested with Tightest Fit, maximize yield. Pieces CT1.1, CT1.2, CT2 and CT3 are shown with their splash strips. It doesn't fit. CT2 now runs 9.5 inches off Slab 1. The message reads: Run Auto-Nest to reflow. The user clicks Auto Nest. Optimizing, 0 to 100 percent. Same job, same mode, same slab size. Every piece and strip moves to a new layout: 3 slabs. Slab 1 holds CT1.1 and CT2, Slab 2 holds CT1.2, Slab 3 holds CT3. Every slab is a clean fit. It was 2 slabs and is now 3. 12 inches. One more slab. See it before you order. SlabOS. The drawing changes. Follow the nest. slabos.com. Book a demo.
