ERP for Fabrication & Sheet Metal
Cut, bend, weld, finish — one cloud platform for Indian fab shops. Weight-based material costing, multi-operation routing, galvanising & powder-coat job-work with ITC-04, drawing revisions, MTC traceability and GST e-invoicing.
Why fabrication shops lose margin in spreadsheets
Fabrication is a routing business: the same drawing becomes a part only after it is cut, bent, welded, ground and finished — often with steps outsourced. Material is the biggest cost and it is bought by weight but cut by dimension. Tally and Excel can invoice the job, but they can’t cost it before you quote, and that is where the margin leaks:
Weight-based material cost
Sheet, plate, bar and section are priced per kg but cut to size. Quoting from rough estimates over- or under-prices every job.
OEMup: exact weight-based material costing per part. Try the free metal weight calculator →Multi-operation routing
Cut → bend → weld → grind → paint. Without per-operation time and cost, you can’t see WIP or true job cost.
OEMup: routings with time & cost per operation and stage-wise WIP. Production module →Galvanising / coating job-work
Parts go out for galvanising, powder coating or machining. Tracking that for ITC-04 by hand fails GST audits.
OEMup: Rule-55 challans, e-way bills, ITC-04 reconciliation. ITC-04 guide →Drawing revisions & MTC
Make-to-order work changes by revision, and structural jobs need mill test certificates and weld traceability.
OEMup: versioned BOMs for revisions + batch/material traceability with MTC. See how →One platform, raw sheet to dispatch
OEMup covers the whole fab-shop workflow — one product, India-first GST defaults, no per-machine installs:
- Weight-based material costing (sheet, plate, bar, section)
- Multi-operation routing with WIP
- Project / make-to-order with drawing revisions
- Quotation → SO → Work Order → Dispatch
- Galvanising / coating / machining job-work + ITC-04
- MRP — what to buy and build, by when
- Material & weld traceability with MTC
- Offcut / scrap tracking & yield
- GST: e-invoice, e-way bill, GSTR-1/3B/9
- HRMS, attendance & shop-floor payroll
- Multi-warehouse & sub-assembly stock
- Cloud access on mobile, desk and shop floor

Fabrication ERP — FAQ
How do fabrication shops cost a job accurately?
Weight per part (sheet, plate, bar, section) plus the cost of each operation — cutting, bending, welding, finishing — plus outsourced galvanising or coating. OEMup computes weight-based material cost and rolls up the routing into a true job cost before you quote.
Can OEMup handle multi-operation routing?
Yes — cutting, bending, welding, grinding, painting/powder-coating, each with time and cost, and WIP visible at every stage.
Does OEMup track galvanising and powder-coating job-work?
Yes — outsourced finishing and machining are tracked with Rule-55 challans, e-way bills and ITC-04 reconciliation.
Can OEMup manage drawing revisions and project work?
Yes — versioned BOMs for drawing revisions and make-to-order projects, so the right revision flows to the floor and into costing.
