How EZIIL Steel Fabrication ERP works
Connect your shop floor to accounting and your top floor to the shop floor with EZIIL Steel Fabrication ERP!
EZIIL helps you standardize processes, eliminate inefficiencies, and deliver projects profitably while meeting industry standards.
Pick and mix exactly the modules you need to scale throughput, stay audit-ready, and improve profitability.
You can roll EZIIL ERP out all at once or in phases:Â
import frame agreements â production planning â advanced BOM â machine scheduling â  shop floor control â procurement and inventory â dispatching and invoicing â analytics and compliance
Advanced BOM & Engineering Data
Build the full recipe for each job in one place: BOM, production routing and attach drawings/files to jobs.
Quickly import and create BOM’s directly from IFC/Excel uploads, or copy-paste from any previous project.
Create and reuse production routing templates for similar jobs.Â
Everyone, from engineering and planning to shop floor and purchasing works from the same current version.
- Multi-level BOM
- Operations and routing
- Drawing/file control
- Custom fields
- Templates and libraries
- Create BOM's from ICF/Excel uploads
- Standardized processes
- Less miscommunications
- Faster handoffs from engineering to production
- Fewer build mistakes
- Quick and easy changes to projects that the whole team sees
MasterView & Production scheduling
See the whole factory at a glance. MasterView shows each departmentâs capacity vs the workload and deadlines across all projects (week by week or month by month).
As operators report progress on the shop floor, the information rolls up in real time (percent complete, hours burned vs planned), so planners can spot at-risk deadlines early, rebalance work with a simple “drag and drop” in a visual planning dashboard, and keep finish dates predictable.
- Drag-and-drop scheduler
- Weekly/monthly workload heat map
- Department workload vs capacity
- Auto-schedule suggestions
- Live progress and OTD tracking
- Deadline and at-risk alerts
- Predictable finish dates
- Faster stand-ups and replanning
- More focus on true bottlenecks and deliverability
- Take on new projects with confidence
Machine Planning
This is where the big plan meets the exact plan. While MasterView sets the high-level picture (sales commitments, departmental capacity, deadlines), Machine Planning schedules work at the operation level to a specific machine or machine group, or to a specific worker or worker group.
Calendars include shifts, vacations, and sick days, so availability always reflects reality.
Any change you make on your screen updates the shop floor instantly. Operators see the new work orders on mobile/tablet in real time (no walking the floor to re-explain).
- Machine boards (Gantt)
- Operation-level planning
- Changeover optimization
- Define preferred and alternate machines, and capabilities
- Calendars, shifts and downtime
- Split/merge large ops and accept partials into WIP
- Urgent work priority and expedite flags
- Higher machine utilization
- Clear priorities at each station
- Real-time sync to shop floor
- Fewer costly changeovers
- Fast reaction to urgent changes
- Instant communication to the whole team
Deliver on time, every time
Streamline your production with EZIIL Steel Fabrication ERP.
All-in-one production management software for make-to-order steel shops.
Procurement Management
See everything you need to buy in one place (whatâs required by each project, whatâs already in stock, and whatâs on order).
Raise purchase requests (PR) and turn them into purchase orders (PO) in a few clicks, with price comparisons and frame agreements to keep costs predictable.
Reserve shared materials to specific projects (allocate from warehouse stock or from incoming PO lines) so priority jobs are covered when they hit the floor.
- Demand view (needed/in-stock/ordered)
- Generate POs and PRs
- Status and ETA tracking
- Supplier quotes and frame agreements
- PR to PO flow
- Material reservations for projects from stock/PO
- No double-buying
- Fewer stockouts
- Faster PO cycle time
- Seamless collaboration with suppliers
- Buyers, engineers, planners and warehouse work in sync
Inventory & Traceability
Know what you have, where it is, and where it went. When materials arrive, record the receipt and attach the paperwork (certificates/EN 10204 3.1, delivery notes, etc).
Smart alerts will let you know when an expected PO is late or when other inventory thresholds you set are hit.
See stock by location/bin, move items with a clear history, and issue materials to the exact project/operation so usage is traceable for audits.
Production can request a material move/pick to a specific project + operation (what material, how much, from where). The warehouse manager turns that into a move/pick order and executes it.
- Receive materials with certificates attached
- Track inventory movements by project
- Manage outgoing inventory (issue to jobs)
- Stock ledger and locations
- Configurable PO/stock alerts
- Production material requests
- Warehouse move/pick orders
- Full material genealogy for quality and compliance
- Audit-ready records
- Clean handoffs
- Less time hunting for parts
- 8x time and money saved on processes
- Fewer picking mistakes
Subcontractor Management
When part of the work happens outside your shop (galvanizing, machining, painting, etc), EZIIL guides you end-to-end: quote request (RFQ) â purchase order (PO) â dispatch of semi-finished parts/sub-assemblies â receipt back â purchase invoice posted to the projectâs costs.
Run it simply (quick send/receive) or in detail by creating packages from the items youâre sending, generating a dispatch, and printing packing lists and waybills so nothing gets lost.
- Subcontract order
- Track statuses and ETA
- Certificate attachment
- Partial returns and discrepancies
- Cost capture and purchase invoice
- Audit trail
- Request quotes, compare terms and raise POs
- Reliable lead times
- Accurate job costing
- Fewer lost parts
- Clean back-to-line transitions
- Transparency and clarity in outsourced work
Shop-floor Control & Mobile Reporting
Run the shop floor without paper-printouts and keep materials flowing to the next step.
Operators see whatâs next, access the right drawing at the station, start/stop time on the exact task, mark quantity done/left, and add a quick note if somethingâs off. Supervisors get live status, no walkarounds or phone calls.
In addition to reporting work, operators can also pick and transfer the required materials, semi-finished parts, or components. EZIIL app shows exactly what is needed, where it is, how many to take, and where to deliver. Once transferred, the next operation turns âreadyâ (green) so the next station can start immediately.
- Mobile time tracking
- Real-time task queue in workers' devices
- Blueprint/QC images on station
- Guided pick and transfer
- Chip-based login (optional)

FAQ
How is EZIIL Steel Fabrication ERP different from Starter?
EZIIL Steel Fabrication ERP adds Purchasing, Inventory and Traceability, Subcontractors, Shipments, Invoicing, and deeper Analytics on top of Starterâs planning, shop-floor and profitability dashboards.
Can we keep our accounting software?
Yes. Create invoices in EZIIL or export to your accounting system so finance keeps their familiar workflows.
Do workers need new devices?
No. Any shop tablet/PC (and common smartphones) works for time reporting and drawing viewing.
Does EZIIL help with EN 1090?
EZIIL centralizes certificates, materials history and person-task logs to support EX2/EX3 traceability.
How do we handle subcontracting?
Treat subcontractors like operations: send out parts with drawings, track status, receive, and continue the route.
Can Purchasing combine demand across projects?
Yes. See whatâs needed vs. in-stock vs. ordered, request quotes, and raise PR/POs fast.
How long does the implementation take?
Varies by scope. Most teams phase the rollout (planning > shop-floor > purchasing/inventory > invoicing/analytics).
What if our data is messy?
We help import and structure BOMs, items, clients, and open projects so you start on solid ground.
Is there a free trial or demo available?
We offer a guided demo to walk you through our platformâs features. Contact our team via the “Book a demo” button to schedule a session and see EZIIL in action.
