Custom software
Systems built for how your business actually runs, replacing the spreadsheets and workarounds holding it together.
How it worksAll industries
Process and conversion
Margin is decided by offcut and weight.
Heat number traceability, nesting and scrap yield, weight-based costing, job work control, and welder qualification records.
Where the standard system leaves the cost in place.
Fabrication businesses buy by weight, make by piece, and get paid on a mixture of both. Between those two states sit nesting decisions, offcuts, process loss at the galvaniser, and a scrap account that is usually the least controlled part of the operation. Add customer requirements for heat number traceability and test certificates, and the administrative load lands on the same people running the shop. Individually these look like small leaks. Together they are usually a visible share of gross margin.
- Material is bought in kilograms and issued by plate or length, and the conversion is redone in every document.
- Heat numbers and mill test certificates are filed as PDFs, so producing traceability for a delivery means searching a folder.
- Nesting efficiency and offcut recovery are not measured, so the difference between a good and a bad cutting plan is invisible.
- Material sent out for galvanising, machining, or heat treatment is tracked in a challan book, and process loss is accepted rather than measured.
- Scrap is sold on trust, with no reconciliation between what the process should have generated and what left the gate.
Built for metals and fabrication.
Built on the same core our products run on, extended with the records and rules this sector is actually judged against. These are scopes we build and integrate, not shelf modules with a licence key.
Heat number and certificate traceability
Mill test certificates held against the heat, carried through cutting and fabrication into the finished item, so delivery documentation is generated rather than compiled.
Nesting, offcut and yield
Cutting plans with expected against actual yield, offcuts returned to stock as usable material with dimensions, and scrap generation compared to norm per job.
Weight and dimension based costing
Dual unit control so purchase by weight, production by piece, and sale by either agree, with costing that follows the material rather than an assumed conversion.
Job work and outside processing
Challan-controlled movement to processors with expected return, process loss norms, rate contracts, and reconciliation that does not wait for month-end.
Welder qualification and procedure records
Procedure specifications, welder qualifications and expiry, and the joint-level record of who welded what, which is the documentation customers and inspectors actually ask for.
Weighbridge and scrap recovery
Inbound and outbound weights captured at source, scrap generation expected from the production plan compared with scrap actually sold, and the difference reported rather than absorbed.
What it has to be able to prove.
Compliance fails when it is a parallel activity. These obligations are carried by the system that runs the operation, so the evidence exists because of how work was recorded rather than because someone assembled it afterwards.
Material traceability on delivery
Heat and certificate linkage from raw material to delivered item, produced with the dispatch documentation instead of assembled on request.
Job work movement returns
Challan records, expected returns, and periodic reconciliation of material held at processor locations, which is what the statutory return depends on.
Weight and transport documentation
Weighbridge slips, invoices, and transport documentation generated from one record, so what is weighed, billed, and declared is the same figure.
What it runs on.
The sector layer is built. The operational core underneath it is not a proposal: it is running in production with clients today.

What it returns.
Yield becomes a managed number
Offcut recovery and scrap generation are measured per job, so cutting decisions can be improved on evidence.
Traceability without the filing
Heat numbers and certificates follow the material, so delivery documentation stops depending on a folder search.
Processor losses stop being invisible
Material at outside processors is reconciled continuously against agreed norms.
Where this normally starts.
Which of these applies depends on how well the constraint is already understood. A review that finds the real one usually turns into a build.
Process automation
Removing the approvals, handoffs, follow-ups, and reconciliation that quietly consume your team's week.
How it worksQuestions we actually get asked.
We hold stock by weight but sell by piece. Which one does the system use?
Both, with the conversion defined once against the material rather than applied per transaction. That single modelling decision is what stops purchase, production, stock, and sale from disagreeing, and it is the first thing we get right in this sector.
Can offcuts be tracked as real stock?
Yes, and they should be. An offcut with recorded dimensions and a heat number is usable material and often the cheapest input available for the next job. Treating it as scrap by default is a margin decision most fabricators are making without realising it.
Our job work goes to several vendors, sometimes in sequence. Is that supported?
Yes. Multi-stage outside processing, including material moving directly from one processor to the next, is modelled as a chain with expected quantities and loss norms at each stage, so the position is known at any point rather than at the end.
