Case Study: Dave Steel Company achieves real-time project insights and reduces administrative burden with Viewpoint

Connected Trimble Solutions Fueling Dave Steel Company’s Data-Driven Strategy

Dave Steel Company, a family-run structural steel fabricator since 1929, faced fragmented, on‑premise systems that made job costing, purchase orders and project data slow, error-prone and IT‑intensive. The company relied on multiple disconnected programs and manual rekeying, lacked real‑time visibility, and needed a technology upgrade to reduce administrative burden and support data‑driven decisions.

By migrating to cloud‑based Trimble Construction One and integrating Tekla PowerFab, Dave Steel gained connected, real‑time workflows, automated PO imports, mobile shop‑floor access and seamless job costing—migrating over a single weekend with minimal disruption. The result: fewer manual processes and IT overhead, improved data accuracy and safety, faster decision‑making, and measurable productivity and cost‑savings across operations.
