Case Study: Watkins Steel streamlines end-to-end operations with STRUMIS

Watkins Steel cuts automated nesting from hours to seconds with STRUMIS

Watkins Steel, a steel fabricator based in Queensland, Australia, prided itself on timely delivery but sought to further reduce human error and rework while saving time and money on projects. To achieve this, they turned to the vendor STRUMIS, initially implementing it as an automated estimating solution.

STRUMIS became a fully integrated business solution used across every phase of Watkins Steel's projects, from estimating to invoicing. The platform integrated with Tekla Structures and MYOB, providing accurate procurement, live project tracking, and reduced administrative overhead. A key feature, automated nesting, reduced a task that took hours to mere seconds. This streamlined approach was successfully used on high-profile projects like the Commonwealth Games Athletes Village, enabling higher volumes without increasing headcount.
