Engineering and Fabrication ERP
Kreon's fabrication ERP software is for engineering workshops, fabricators and machine builders where no two orders are the same. Each job starts with an estimate and a drawing, not an item code. The system holds material, labour and outside work against that job and shows actual cost beside the estimate while there is still time to act.

Built for the way your trade works.
Suits workshops where every order is different and profit depends on controlling cost per job. Fabricators buying plates, sections and pipes get weight-based stock as standard.
Estimate and quotation built from material, labour and outside process costs
Project-wise BOM taken from drawings, with revision control
Purchase and stock reserved against each work order
- Plate and section cutting with offcut stock kept for reuse
- Stage-wise progress: cutting, fit-up, welding, machining, painting, dispatch
- Milestone billing and retention tracked against the customer order
- Actual versus estimated cost per job, shown while work is running
- Outside machining and galvanising sent on job work challans
- Site erection material, tools and labour recorded project-wise
A day's work, in order.
Estimate and quote
The estimator builds the cost from material, labour and outside processes, and sends the quotation.
Open the job
On order, a work order is created with its BOM taken from the drawing.
Buy and reserve
Material is purchased or reserved from stock against the job, so nobody else uses it.
Cut and build
Cutting, fit-up, welding and machining are updated stage-wise, and offcuts go back to stock.
Send outside work
Galvanising or special machining goes on a job work challan and is costed to the job.
Dispatch and bill
Goods go to site, and bills are raised by milestone with retention tracked.

ViewQuestions, answered.
Every order is different. Do we need item codes for everything?
No. A job can carry its own BOM made from the drawing, using raw material you already stock, such as plates, sections and pipes. Only items you buy or stock again need a permanent code.
What happens when the customer changes the drawing midway?
The BOM is revised with a new revision number and the old one is kept. You can see what material was already issued or cut under the earlier revision, and the extra cost can be quoted as a variation.
Can I see if a job is losing money before it is finished?
Yes. Material issued, labour booked and job work bills are posted to the job as they happen. The job cost screen shows these against the estimate, head by head, at any stage.
Does it handle work done at the customer's site?
Yes. Material and tools sent to site, labour days and site expenses are recorded against the project. Site stock is held as a separate location, so what is sent, used and returned is known.
Does Engineering and Fabrication ERP work on mobile?
Yes. It runs on Web and Android, so people on the floor, in the field or on the road work on the phone while the office works on the full screens.
Can Engineering and Fabrication ERP be changed to fit how my business works?
Yes. Kreon builds and supports it, so screens, reports, approvals and rules are shaped to your process. Tell us what is different about the way you work and we will show you how it fits before anything is built.
