FRAMECAD Nexa: September 2025 Update
At FRAMECAD, we’re always working to make FRAMECAD Nexa the most powerful and user-friendly production management for steel framing software available. Every update we roll out is designed to help you work faster, reduce repetitive tasks and manage projects more efficiently.
Recent updates introduced a number of new features and refinements that came directly from customer feedback. Whether you’re adding projects, managing customer data, or updating panel statuses in the field, you’ll notice big improvements in speed and usability.
Simplify Project Creation with Project Templates
Stop re-entering the same details over and over. With Project Templates, you can quickly create new projects based on common parameters such as design files, workflows, or naming conventions. Templates can be built from scratch or saved from existing projects and you can even add multiple projects in one step. This feature is available in all paid subscription tiers and is especially useful for modular builders.
Import Project Data in One Step
The new Import Projects feature allows you to upload an entire project list directly from an xlsx, .xls, .csv, or .pdf file. Powered by AI, the fields are automatically mapped and filled out, saving time especially if you already manage project data in another platform like Salesforce. This feature is included with all paid subscriptions.
Manage Customer Data Independently
No project? No problem. You can now add company and contact details without having to create a project first. Simply go to the Customers tab in Settings to add or update company and contact information. For bulk updates, the Import Customers feature lets you upload company data straight from a file. Both options are available in free and paid tiers.
Add Photos to Status Updates (Enterprise Tier)
For Enterprise subscribers, the FRAMECAD Nexa mobile app now allows photos to be included in panel and stack status updates. Just scan the QR code and snap a photo with your device. The image can be viewed in the web app and used as evidence to support a status change - perfect for verifying deliveries and providing evidence of undamaged delivery conditions.
Improved Viewer and Label Options
We’ve refined the way Nexa’s 2D viewer renders panels and plans. You now have the option to show or hide labels, making it easier to customize what you see.
Control Access with Mobile-Only Roles
Need someone to update delivery status but not access the web app? The new Delivery role restricts users to the Nexa mobile app only. This feature is available across all subscription tiers, including the free plan.
Inventory Enhancements
A new Estimated Weight Remaining column is now available in the Inventory module. Customers on paid plans can use this to track coil usage by weight in addition to length.
Faster Project Creation
When adding new projects, you no longer need to fill in project dates or city fields. This change makes the process quicker and more flexible.
Bulk Actions in Grid Views
A new “select all” tick box has been added to each grid view. This allows you to apply changes to multiple items at once. The feature is available in both free and paid subscription tiers.
What’s Next?
We’re continuing to evolve FRAMECAD Nexa with new features, integrations and workflow improvements. Many of these updates come directly from your feedback, so keep sharing your ideas, we’re listening.
Stay tuned for the next round of enhancements to the industry’s leading production management for steel framing software.
