Case Study: Billington Structures achieves just-in-time steel inventory and procurement efficiency with STRUMIS

Billington Structures Ltd employ Just in Time strategy with the help of STRUMIS

Billington Structures, one of the UK’s leading structural steelwork contractors, needed a better way to manage rising raw material costs, inventory, and production flow across multiple sites. The company wanted to support a “Just In Time” strategy to reduce tied-up cash flow, improve purchasing efficiency, and keep materials available when needed. STRUMIS, its steel fabrication management software, was used to help address these challenges.

STRUMIS provided Billington Structures with integrated inventory, purchasing, procurement, and production control, including stock management, automated purchase orders, material traceability, and EDI-linked supplier processes. This enabled materials to be ordered and delivered just in time, improving project planning, shop floor routing, and materials logistics while reducing waste and supporting cost savings. Billington Structures said STRUMIS strengthened its materials logistics process and improved administration of the production cycle.
