ERP for Engineering & Fabrication

Project-based costing for made-to-order work

Fabrication is project work wearing manufacturing clothes. Every job is a one-off against a drawing, material is issued to a project rather than a product, and billing is progressive against milestones. ERP built around repeat production of standard items models almost none of this correctly.

10-16 weeks

What goes wrong in engineering & fabrication

Costing is per product, not per project

When every job is unique, product-level costing is meaningless. Material, labour and subcontract must accumulate against the project.

Drawing revisions cause rework

Fabrication against a superseded drawing is expensive and common when revisions are circulated by email rather than controlled in the system.

Offcut and scrap are unaccounted

Plate and section cutting generates reusable offcuts that get scrapped because nobody knows they exist.

Site work is invisible

Erection and commissioning labour at the customer site rarely reaches the project cost, so completed jobs look more profitable than they were.

Built for this sector

Modules that exist because of your industry

On top of the full standard ERP — sales, purchase, stores, accounts and HR are all included.

01

Project-wise cost accumulation

Material, labour, machine time, subcontract and site cost all posted against the project, with committed-versus-actual tracking.

02

Drawing and revision control

Drawings held against the project with revision status, so material is never cut against a superseded version.

03

Material nesting and offcut register

Cutting plans with offcut dimensions recorded back into stock, making remnant plate usable instead of scrapped.

04

Subcontract and site work

Machining, galvanising and site erection tracked with their own costs posted to the project.

05

Progressive billing

Invoicing against completion milestones or measured progress, with retention money tracked to release.

06

Weight-based estimation

Quotation built from drawing weight and process route, which is how fabrication is actually estimated.

Plans

Pick the size that fits

Every limit is published rather than buried in a contract. Past the Business limits we quote against your real usage.

What happens if you outgrow a plan

Nothing breaks and nothing is cut off. We flag it when you are consistently near a limit, and you either move up a tier or, past the Business limits, we scope an Enterprise plan against your real usage. We would rather quote you properly than serve you at a loss and then renegotiate — so heavy users are priced honestly from the start.

Compliance for your sector

GST on works contracts with correct place-of-supply treatment
TDS on subcontractor payments with certificate tracking
E-way bills for site material movement and returnable materials
Retention money and progressive billing documentation
Everything included

59 platform capabilities, on top of the modules

ERP for Engineering & Fabrication inherits the whole platform — security, compliance, reporting, integrations and mobile. This is the full list, and which plan each capability starts on.

We speak your language

Terms the system models natively, not as custom fields.

Nesting
Arranging parts on a plate to minimise waste; determines real material consumption.
Offcut / remnant
Usable material left after cutting — stock, not scrap, if it is recorded.
Retention
A percentage of billing held by the customer until defect liability expires.
Works contract
Supply plus installation, with its own GST treatment distinct from a goods sale.

Who this is for

  • Structural and heavy fabrication units
  • Engineering job shops producing made-to-order components
  • Companies supplying equipment with site erection and commissioning
  • Fabricators billing progressively against project milestones

Questions from engineering & fabrication buyers

Can it quote from drawing weight?

Yes. Estimation is built from material weight plus the process route — cutting, welding, machining, finishing — which is how fabrication quoting actually works, rather than from a bill of materials that does not exist yet.

How is site work captured?

Site teams record labour and material consumption against the project from a phone, including offline. Without this, site cost never reaches the project and margins look better than they are.

Does it handle retention money?

Yes. Retention is tracked per project with release due dates, so money held by customers is visible rather than forgotten until someone reconciles ledgers.
