Structural steelwork software from take-off to erection
Material, outsourced processes and erection as costed lines, POs to the stockholder and galvanizer from the job, and delivery signed on site before invoicing.
Material and outwork are most of the cost
A steelwork quote is a steel price, a set of processes somebody else does, and a crane. Get the galvanizing or the shot-blasting wrong and the fabrication margin is gone before a beam is cut.
- Material, outwork and erection price as separate costed lines
- POs to stockholders and processors are raised from the job
- Supplier invoice PDFs are matched back to their purchase order
- The job board shows every job by stage, moved from a phone

More about Zigaflow for Structural Steelwork Contractors
Zigaflow prices material, outsourced processes and erection as separate lines each carrying supplier cost, raises the purchase orders to the stockholder and the galvanizer from the same job, and shows the job board by stage so the office knows what is at cutting, welding or paint without walking the shop.
The problems we solve
Quotes are built from last year's steel price
Material is priced from memory and the galvanizing is forgotten, so the job makes less than the quote said.
Material, outsourced processes and labour are lines with live supplier cost, and the margin is on the quote.
The traveller is a paper folder
Nobody in the office knows whether a job is at cutting, welding or paint without walking the shop.
The job board shows every job by stage and the phone moves it, so the office can answer without leaving the desk.
Delivery notes and invoices drift apart
Part deliveries are signed on paper and invoiced from a spreadsheet that misses the last one.
Each delivery is recorded against the job, showing remaining and previous quantities, and the invoice is raised from it.
