Overview

Custom ERP for Metal Fabrication Businesses

Metal fabrication businesses often manage many moving parts: customer-specific jobs, drawings, material sizes, steel grades, cutting plans, welding stages, machining processes, subcontracting, labour, quality checks, dispatch schedules, and job-wise costing. Manual tracking creates stock mismatch, BOM revision confusion, and difficulty tracking profitability.
