Key Areas
Enquiries, quotations, projects, materials, fabrication, labour, costing and dispatch
The Business Challenge
Steel fabrication is fundamentally project-driven. An enquiry becomes a quotation and then a project or work order.
Material has to be planned and purchased, stock issued to jobs, fabrication activities monitored, labour tracked and completed work dispatched.
The difficulty is maintaining the relationship between the project, material and cost. Without an integrated system, management may know how much material was purchased but find it difficult to see how much was consumed against a particular project or job.
Production progress and project costing can therefore require considerable manual reconciliation.
The JBMatrix Solution
JBMatrix designed a Steel Fabrication ERP that connects the commercial and production sides of the business.
The workflow starts with customers, enquiries and quotations and continues through project creation, material planning, procurement and raw-material inventory.
The system also supports production planning, fabrication, work orders, labour tracking and dispatch, helping businesses maintain a connected workflow from enquiry to completed project.
This provides a structured view of project materials, production activities and associated costs, reducing the need for manual reconciliation across separate records.

Business Outcome
The ERP gives management a clearer view of what is happening across individual fabrication projects.
Material planning is connected with procurement and stock, helping teams coordinate material requirements and availability for ongoing jobs.
Production activities can be followed against jobs or work orders, while material consumption and project-cost information provide a better basis for operational review.
The system is particularly useful for businesses managing multiple fabrication jobs at the same time, providing structured information across projects, materials, production and dispatch.
Suitable For
The solution can be configured for steel fabrication companies, structural steel manufacturers, engineering companies and industrial fabrication businesses.
