Fabrication ERP Software

Precision and accuracy are fundamental to the fabrications industry; a millimeter off target can be problematic. Fabricated products can also be complex. The ability to supply goods on time and to specification is important for customer retention and the bottom line. To achieve this, systems need to be integrated as they bring together all the data and processes in a timely manner, to provide full traceability and visibility of the business and customer requirements.

WinMan ERP Features for Fabricators

Configure and Engineer to Order

The product configurator can produce a detailed bill of materials that can be linked to other documents such as engineering drawings and parts lists. Each job created on the system can have its own specific job number that can be carried from the initial job description through to the order, project, delivery, and invoice.

Quality Control and Testing

Every department has a degree of responsibility to ensure total quality. By utilising the document manager, all documents such as test results, specifications, BoMs, invoices, proposals etc. can be stored against the relevant contact record or project. Managers can also stay ahead of potential issues by proactively monitoring and logging the level of defects and by-products.

Project Accounting

WinMan ERP solution provides real-time and accurate reports for the finance department based on current jobs or projects in the system. It can note in detail the cost of the project, including the amount of each material used and highlighting any variations.

Time Booking

WinMan allows accurate tracking of open-ended jobs, where the amount of time spent on the job and the materials used can all be logged. This provides the invoicing team with all of the information required to correctly track, cost, and bill the fabricated project.

From sales people to fabricators to buyers, the different features within the WinMan ERP system will assist all departments in carrying out their job responsibilities.

As a director of the business it was important to me that the system we implemented not only met our functional requirements, but also came from a supplier that was prepared to take on single source responsibility. Of all of the companies we evaluated, WinMan were the only one that ticked all the boxes.

The underlying advantage of WinMan for John Sankey was its flexibility and the ease with which it could be tailored to suit the company’s specific needs.

Our objective was to streamline data processing and substantially reduce keystrokes – a 50% reduction was the minimum target – and a lot of that keystroking was to do with assignment. The more non-value-adding activity we can take out the better.
