Case Study: Wareing Buildings achieves smarter steel project delivery with Trimble Tekla PowerFab

The power of data in business longevity

Wareing Buildings, a century-old steel-framed building fabricator and constructor in Lancashire, needed a better way to move beyond paper-based processes and gain visibility into sales, stock, fabrication progress, and project information. Using Trimble’s Tekla PowerFab production management software, the company sought to improve coordination across office, workshop, and site teams while keeping pace with its commitment to innovation.

Trimble implemented Tekla PowerFab to centralize data for accounting, purchasing, transport, inspections, and production tracking, giving teams access to the same information on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The result was a major shift from paper drawings to a live workflow with better stock control, faster information sharing, improved visibility of steel status, and less waste; Wareing Buildings said the biggest impact was finally having data they had never had before.
