Find the slab in your yard
Explore slab looks, a warehouse map by bay, QR, barcode and RFID labels, and remnant records linked to their parent slabs.
Open video ↗You digitized every slab in the yard. That work shouldn't die inside one program. SlabBridge connects your Slabsmith database to SlabOS — your digitized slabs flow into SlabOS inventory automatically, photos included, ready to quote, nest, and track.
Slabsmith is a product of Northwood Machine. SlabOS is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Northwood or Slabsmith — SlabBridge reads your own shop's data, on your own hardware.
Follow one slab from its Slabsmith scanner image through SlabBridge (Early Access) into a SlabOS slab record with its photo, onto a layout, and back: a rack move synced to Slabsmith.
SlabOS - SlabBridge: scanner image to usable slab (41-second silent loop; transcript of all on-screen information)
Scanned once. Why type it in twice? A Slabsmith scanner image of a slab is shown being scanned.
SlabBridge (Early Access). Slabsmith, SlabBridge and SlabOS are shown as three connected nodes. SlabBridge runs as a Slabsmith Windows service at your shop. The slab's photo and slab record travel from Slabsmith through SlabBridge into SlabOS.
One slab record. The slab arrives in SlabOS with its photo and identity: serial SS-10482; 126 by 63 inches, 3 cm; quartzite, polished; rack A2, available; photo from the scanner image.
Use it in a layout. From inventory: three pieces are placed on the scanned slab - 96 by 25.5 inches (with a sink cut-out), 72 by 25.5 inches and 40 by 25.5 inches. Three pieces, one slab. On hold for this quote.
Back to Slabsmith. Location / rack: A2 to C4. The slab moves from bay A2 to bay C4 and the location change is synced to Slabsmith. Source version checked. Read-back matches. Early Access.
SlabOS. Scan once. Use it in SlabOS. SlabBridge, Early Access. slabos.com. Book a demo.
The bridge watches your Slabsmith data and keeps SlabOS inventory current — automatically.
Shops running Slabsmith did the hard part: every slab photographed, measured, in a database. Then a new software platform shows up and asks you to type all of it in again. That's the tax that kills most software switches — and it's the tax SlabBridge deletes.
This isn't a rip-and-replace pitch. Keep your digitization workflow exactly as it is. SlabOS meets your data where it lives.
Re-keying an entire slab inventory into a second system, by hand.
The digitized slab image stays in one tool while quoting happens in another.
Two lists of the same slabs that stop agreeing the week after you build them.
Slabs that were cut or removed but still show as available in the other system.
SlabBridge exists so none of that happens. One digitization effort, one live inventory — visible to your whole shop in SlabOS.
SlabBridge is a small on-premise agent installed at your shop. It connects to your Slabsmith database on your own network — read-only by default against your data — and syncs slabs into SlabOS inventory automatically. Your digitization workflow stays in Slabsmith. Supported writeback is configured separately and stays off until enabled with the appropriate permissions.
Source reading is the default. Supported writeback requires a separate, deliberate configuration.
Digitized slabs land in SlabOS inventory automatically — no re-keying.
New, updated, and removed slabs reconcile as your Slabsmith data changes.
Fig. 02 — The default read path. Supported return updates require separate writeback configuration.
The whole point of slab digitization is the image — the actual veining, the actual stone. SlabBridge doesn't leave it behind. Slab images from your Slabsmith data directory are pushed up too, so the digitized photo lands right on the SlabOS slab record.
That means when a salesperson opens the slab in SlabOS, they're looking at the real slab — not a generic material swatch.
Fig. 03 — Illustration. The digitized photo rides along with the slab data.
Fig. 04 — Change polling. Adds, updates, and deletions all reconcile.
A one-time import goes stale the day after you run it. SlabBridge keeps polling for changes instead: new and updated slabs appear in SlabOS shortly after they change in Slabsmith — and deletions reconcile too, so removed slabs don't linger as ghosts in your inventory.
It closes the loop on the shop floor as well: cut slabs can automatically leave the SlabOS warehouse map when machine and production activity consumes them. The map reflects what's actually racked.
There's no "imported slab" second class in SlabOS. Once synced, a Slabsmith slab behaves like any SlabOS slab — quote against it, nest pieces on it, park it in a warehouse map bay, print its label, put it on a PO.
Your Perfect Match workflow stays in Slabsmith, where it belongs. Everything downstream of the slab — the quote, the schedule, the crew, the customer — runs in SlabOS.
Pick the synced slab straight into a quote — the real stone, not a stand-in.
Lay countertop pieces out on the synced slab in the nesting canvas.
Assign it to a physical bay on your drawn warehouse map — and it leaves when it's cut.
Print slab labels from the synced record like any other slab.
Synced slabs work with POs — one inventory, every workflow.

SlabBridge gets your digitized inventory in. From there, the whole platform picks it up — the same slab your yard digitized flows through the quote, the schedule, the shop floor, and the customer's phone.
The 2D/3D quoting engine draws the job and prices it against your real inventory.
Jobs, crews, and calendar run in the same system that holds the slab.
Customers see their counters in 3D and place them in AR — from the same platform.
Crew app, customer portal, and job tracking behind the same login. One login, one bill.
The SlabBridge agent ships with configuration files, and the SlabOS admin has a platform card to manage the connection. We walk early-access shops through installation — this is a guided rollout, not a download-and-hope.
SlabBridge is one piece of one platform — quoting, scheduling, slab inventory, the warehouse map, the crew app, and the customer portal all live behind the same login. Weighing SlabOS against Slabsmith instead of alongside it? See SlabOS vs Slabsmith.
SlabBridge is in early access — the first shop deployments are onboarding now. Book a demo, tell us about your Slabsmith setup, and we'll show you your digitized slabs living inside SlabOS.

SlabBridge reads your Slabsmith data by default. Supported writeback can be enabled separately with the required local and SlabOS permissions. Review the field mapping and ownership before enabling a return path; your digitization and Perfect Match workflow remains in Slabsmith.
Yes. Slab images from the Slabsmith data directory are pushed up along with the slab data, so the digitized photo lands on the SlabOS slab record — your team quotes and nests against the actual stone, not a swatch.
Change polling keeps the sync live: new and updated slabs appear in SlabOS shortly after they change in Slabsmith, and deletions reconcile as well, so removed slabs don't linger. On the SlabOS side, cut slabs can automatically leave the warehouse map when machine or production activity consumes them.
SlabBridge is a small on-premise agent installed at your shop, on your own network, connecting to your own Slabsmith database. Setup is guided — the agent ships with configuration files and the SlabOS admin has a platform card to manage the connection, and we walk early-access shops through it.
No. Slabsmith is a product of Northwood Machine, and SlabOS is not affiliated with, partnered with, or endorsed by Northwood or Slabsmith. SlabBridge reads your own shop's data on your own hardware — it's your inventory, flowing into your SlabOS account.
Book a demo and mention you're running Slabsmith. SlabBridge is in early access with the first shop deployments onboarding now — we'll look at your setup and walk you through what the sync looks like on your own inventory.

SlabBridge is the SlabOS Windows service on the shop PC, listening to Slabsmith every second. Pair it once and it starts with Windows, picks up every change live and brings new and updated slabs into SlabOS with their photos. Read-only by default, credentials encrypted on the PC, outbound only. Early access.
SlabOS: Listening. Every Second. (44.5 seconds, no voiceover; music and sound effects only)
Re-typing slabs? A slab in Slabsmith shows rack B-04. Next to it, the same slab in SlabOS is an empty outline, and a cursor types the rack in by hand. Let SlabOS listen.
Listening. A glowing shop PC tower stands in the dark, its fan turning and sonar rings pulsing across the floor around it. A Windows service on the shop PC. No window to keep open. A Windows Services row slides in: name SlabOS SlabBridge, status Running, startup type Automatic.
Pair once. Five steps land one after another: create pairing code, pair with SlabOS, check selected database, install and verify service, and map fields in Slabsmith read / write. Installed. The service starts with Windows.
A giant clock ticks once a second: 23:59:58, 23:59:59, midnight, 00:00:01. Every tick pulses like a heartbeat and sends a ring out behind it. The shop goes home. Listening. Every second.
Reboot. The tower powers down and goes dark, then flashes back on with a burst of rings. Back on its own. Starts with Windows, automatic. The Services row again shows SlabOS SlabBridge, Running, Automatic.
Change it in Slabsmith. The Slabsmith slab's rack changes from B-04 to C-11, and in a blink a light packet zips through the small tower in the middle to SlabOS. SlabOS picks it up. The SlabOS slab fills in with its photo and shows rack C-11 at once. Rack, status, size, photo. The service keeps sending out a ring every second.
Built for the shop PC. Four checks appear beside the tower while a beam runs out of its top: read-only by default; credentials encrypted on your PC; outbound only, no open ports; deleted slabs reconcile.
The SlabOS logo assembles piece by piece. SlabOS. Listening. Every second. SlabBridge, early access. slabos.com. Book a demo. The picture fades to black.
