Case Study: Billington Structures achieves just-in-time materials efficiency with STRUMIS

Billington Structures streamlines JIT steel delivery with STRUMIS

The UK-based structural steelwork contractor Billington Structures faced challenges from rising material costs and long lead times, which placed a heavy burden on cash flow. They sought to implement a 'Just in Time' (JIT) strategy to minimize inventory costs and ensure materials arrived exactly when needed for production, requiring a technological solution. They turned to the vendor STRUMIS for its project management software to address this.

STRUMIS provided the solution by seamlessly linking the company's procurement, inventory, and production data. Key features like real-time inventory tracking, automated material reservations, and supplier integration enabled Billington Structures to implement its JIT strategy effectively. This resulted in significant time management improvements and cost savings through reduced storage delays, less waste, and protection against price fluctuations, allowing for consistent, on-time, and cost-effective project delivery.
