Manufacturing & fabrication
Steel fabricators take fewer phone calls and get paid faster.
Chasing suppliers for prices, customers phoning for updates, and data reports pieced together weeks after the steel has gone.
Where the week goes
The three jobs that eat your week.
- Chasing people
Prices and bookings chased by phone
Steel quotes, galvanising and freight requested and compared from one purchase order.
How it stops - Getting paid
Final payment waiting on the data report
Mill certificates captured as steel arrives, so the data report ships with the steel.
How it stops - Double handling
Purchase orders typed into the job by hand
Customer POs read and turned into a job with drawings and an inspection plan.
