Steel Fabrication
Fabrication ERP that survives the shop floor.
Steel fabrication lives and dies on the gap between the estimate and the actual: revised drawings, wasted plate, rework nobody recorded. DigiATT implements canias ERP for fabricators so every assembly, weld and dispatch is costed against the project it belongs to.
Built for fabricators
Estimate, fabricate, prove it.
Three controls separate profitable fabricators from busy ones: project costing that's live, material that's nested before it's cut, and a traceability chain that closes audits in hours.
Project costing
Estimate-to-actual on every project, with revisions tracked so scope creep is priced, not absorbed.
Nesting & scrap
Plate and profile nesting tied to inventory. Offcuts return to stock, scrap hits the job that caused it.
Full traceability
Heat numbers, weld logs and inspections linked from mill certificate to erected assembly.
What you get
From tender to erection, one record.
DigiATT engagements for fabrication shops typically wire canias ERP into estimating, the drawing office and the bay, then keep dispatch aligned with the site programme.
Tendering and estimation with real material and labour rates
Drawing revision control linked to BOMs and work orders
Plate nesting, remnant management and scrap accounting
Weld procedure, welder qualification and NDT traceability
Subcontract galvanising, painting and machining flows
Dispatch, delivery notes and erection-sequence loading lists
Why it works
Built around revisions, not despite them.
Most ERP implementations treat a drawing revision as an exception. In structural steel it's the routine. We configure revision flows so a change reprices the project, updates the cut plan and flags affected work orders automatically. That single discipline is usually worth the programme.
