The problem

Pricing steel work depends on the specifics of the business: its materials, its processes and its commercial rules. Off-the-shelf ERPs rarely model that well, so pricing ends up living outside the system that runs everything else.

What was built

An ERP designed for the business rather than adapted to it, with a custom steel pricing tool built in, so pricing and operations sit in the same system.

What the system does

  • Bespoke ERP

    Operational modules designed around the business's own processes.

  • Custom steel pricing tool

    Pricing built to the business's own rules, inside the ERP.

  • Enquiries and sales orders

    From first enquiry and quotation through to orders and account tracking.

  • Production modules

    Rebar and mesh, and K-Form and concrete systems, each with its own module.

  • Stock and warehousing

    Stock, transfers and stocktakes across the main site and depots.

  • Delivery planning

    Routes, vehicles and proof of delivery.

  • Quality and certification

    Test certificates, CE marking and audit documentation.

  • Assets, training and compliance

    Plant and vehicle maintenance, and training and induction records.

How it fits together

From enquiry to delivery

Pricing is one step in a single flow, so a job never has to leave the system between the first call and the lorry.

  1. 1

    Enquire

    Customer enquiries are captured, tracked and converted.

  2. 2

    Price

    The pricing tool prices the job to the business's own rules.

  3. 3

    Order

    Quotes become sales orders, tracked on the account.

  4. 4

    Produce

    Cutting, bending and mesh production run in their own modules.

  5. 5

    Deliver

    Deliveries are planned, scheduled and tracked.
