ERP for Singapore metal fabrication companies
Custom ERP for structural steel, sheet metal, and welding fabricators in Singapore. Job costing with actuals, material certificate traceability, and nesting yield tracking.
What we hear from metal fabrication operations directors.
Job costs estimated but never compared to actuals
Material test reports (MTRs) filed in paper folders by heat number
Nesting yield not tracked — scrap percentage unknown
Subcontractor finishing (galvanising, powder coating) managed by phone
Drawing revision control lives in the project engineer's email

ERP for Metal Fabrication and Structural Steel Manufacturers in Singapore
Job-based cost tracking, cut-to-length nesting, material certificate traceability, and subcon finishing coordination — the five workflow gaps that generic ERPs leave open for Singapore metal fabrication shops.

Metal Fabrication ERP questions.
How does the system track job costs for metal fabrication?+
Every cost element — material consumed (by weight from cutting programs), labour hours (from job card clock-in/out), subcon charges, and overhead allocation — is recorded against the job and compared to the estimate. The variance report shows which jobs made money and which did not.
Can it handle material certificate traceability?+
Yes. Material test reports are linked to heat/lot numbers at goods receipt. When material is issued to a job, the MTR reference follows. The system can produce a material data book per project with all certificates assembled automatically.
Does it integrate with nesting software?+
The system receives cutting program outputs (from SigmaNEST, ProNest, or similar) and records the material utilisation per program. Yield percentage is tracked per material type and thickness, making scrap cost visible for the first time.
