How STRUMIS is Improving Efficiency at SCH Site Services…

At SCH Site Services, we are always striving to stay ahead in the steel fabrication industry, and our recent investment in STRUMIS—a world-leading steel fabrication management software—is a key part of this mission.

Our office and production management teams have spent the past week and a half undergoing comprehensive training on this cutting-edge software, which promises to transform how we manage projects from start to finish.

What is STRUMIS?

STRUMIS is a powerful Management Information System (MRP) specifically designed for the steel fabrication industry. It integrates every stage of the fabrication process, from estimating and procurement to production and shipping.

By consolidating these workflows into one platform, STRUMIS helps companies like SCH eliminate inefficiencies, reduce human error, and significantly improve productivity.

Some of the standout features of STRUMIS

Integrated Estimating: This feature allows us to produce accurate tenders and cost breakdowns quickly, pulling data directly from CAD and other design tools.

Production Control: STRUMIS tracks every stage of fabrication, from material sourcing to shipping, ensuring complete traceability and visibility across the entire supply chain.

Inventory Management: By using barcode scanning and material tracking, STRUMIS helps reduce material wastage and improve stock management.

How STRUMIS is Transforming SCH’s Operations

The primary users of STRUMIS at SCH Site Services will be our estimating and production teams. The software’s estimating module modifies the tendering process, helping us provide faster and more accurate estimates to our clients.

For production, STRUMIS improves scheduling and tracking, giving us real-time data on every component being fabricated, right down to its exact location and production status.

This level of detail ensures that we stay on top of project timelines and deliver on our promises to clients.

One of the key benefits of STRUMIS is its ability to manage complex contracts and multi-phase projects. The system allows us to monitor each phase of a project from fabrication to delivery, ensuring that all milestones are met.

The 3D model viewer feature provides a visual representation of the entire project, making it easier for the team to identify and address potential issues early.

Additionally, STRUMIS integrates with other essential tools, such as CAD systems and steel detailing software, ensuring smooth transitions between design and production.

It also allows for complete traceability, from materials procurement to the final product, which is essential for compliance with strict industry regulations.
