Every job is different. Know the cost of each.
In engineering and fabrication, every order is made to a drawing, so there is no fixed item master and no standard BOM. Kreon has built software for businesses in this trade, from structural fabricators to machine builders. It treats the job as the centre: estimate, material, labour, outside work and billing all sit against it.
The details generic software gets wrong.
No standard BOM
The BOM comes from the drawing and changes with each revision. Software built for repeat products cannot follow that.
Cost against estimate
Profit is decided job by job. You need actual material, labour and job work against the estimate while work is running.
Offcuts and remnants
Plate and section leftovers are reusable stock. If they are not recorded with size, they get bought again.
Milestone billing
Bills follow advance, dispatch, erection and commissioning, with retention held back. Plain invoicing cannot keep that account.
Products that fit.
Steel Plant ERP
Steel plant ERP software from Kreon runs an induction furnace, rolling mill or integrated TMT plant by weight and heat number.

Kreon's fabrication ERP software is for engineering workshops, fabricators and machine builders where no two orders are the same.

Questions, answered.
Is it for workshops or for project contractors?
Both. A workshop uses estimates, job cards, material and stage-wise progress. A contractor who also erects at site adds site stock, labour and milestone billing against the same project.
Can design revisions be controlled?
Yes. Each drawing and BOM carries a revision number, with the date and who approved it. Purchase and production always work from the current revision, and older ones stay on record.
Does it handle machine builders with bought-out parts?
Yes. A machine's BOM can mix fabricated assemblies, machined parts and bought-out items like motors and gearboxes. Each is planned, purchased or made against the job.
Which Kreon products fit engineering and fabrication?
Steel Plant ERP, Engineering and Fabrication ERP. Each can be shaped to the way your business works, and they share the same records when used together.
