Steel & Fabrication
Every plate carries its heat number from receipt through nesting to the finished part — with dispatch tied to the weighbridge and costing.
Configured for Steel & Fabrication · Structured go-live
Heat-number traceability kept in a separate register.
Nesting yield nobody measures until scrap piles up.
Weighbridge readings copied into invoices by hand.
Job costing that only surfaces after the job is done.
The workflows built for how you actually manufacture.
Traceability that never breaks.
Log the heat at receipt and FOS carries it through nesting, cutting and fabrication to the finished part — one scan reveals the full chain.
Book a walkthroughPlan on real stock, not last week's.
MRP reads your nesting requirements, reserves what is in stock and raises purchase requisitions for the balance — before the plates run short.
Book a walkthroughThe capabilities that matter most for your line of work.
Full chain from receipt to finished part, one scan away.
Material planning that reads real nesting requirements.
Dispatch weights flow straight into invoices and costing.
Live cost per job — material, labour and overhead.
Structural and heavy fabrication jobs move from estimate to plate purchase, cutting, weld, finish, and weighbridge-linked dispatch — with heat identity carried on the material.
FOS ties nesting and MRP to the BOM so plate is reserved or purchased before cutting starts, then tracks fabrication and welding WIP through inspection and painting. Finished weight and heat history stay on the same job thread through dispatch and costing.
A 30-minute walkthrough mapped to how you build — no obligation.

Steel fabricators run nested BOMs for sections, plates, and consumables with weight-based planning. FOS links cutting, welding, blasting, and erection stages with subcontract and site dispatch when needed.
Items can carry weight, length, and grade attributes for estimating and issue control. MRP converts project quantities to procurement and cutting lists for the shop.
Scrap reporting on operations and returnable offcut tracking help control yield on plate and section. Variance analysis shows whether nesting or supplier quality drives losses.
Project or order-centric views group multiple assemblies under one customer contract. Billing can align to milestones, dispatch, or erection completion per agreement.
Outward challans for blast and coat track tonnage sent and returned. Receipt inspection catches handling damage before erection or dispatch to site.
Trading stock and manufacturing BOMs coexist with separate valuation and planning rules. Same platform serves warehouse sales and fabrication WIP without duplicate masters.
WPS-linked inspection points, dimensional checks, and NDT hold steps can gate next operations. Documentation supports customer and third-party audit requirements.
Heat and mill certificate references on GRN tie material to finished assemblies for traceability. Critical for pressure parts and customer-specific steel specs.
Partial dispatch of assemblies and loose shipped items updates project completion percent. Logistics documents list weight and pieces for transport planning.
Yes. Steel fabricators use FOS to replace Excel MRP and disconnected stores with connected planning, shop floor, and billing.
