Discover how Delta Fabrication & Machine modernized its operations with STRUMIS steel fabrication management software. Learn how STRUMIS MRP, real-time tracking, and reporting helped save hundreds of hours and increase productivity.
At Delta Fabrication & Machine, staying competitive means keeping pace with technology. Based in Daingerfield, Texas, the company has built a strong reputation for excellence in steel fabrication and machine work. But as projects grew larger and more complex, managing production flow and materials became increasingly challenging.
That’s when Budd Smith, Fabrication and Fab Shop Manager at Delta Fabrication, knew it was time to modernize their operation and bring the company up to today’s digital standards.
Bud and his team were looking for a solution to improve material management, production tracking, and overall workflow visibility. The goal was to move away from manual processes and toward a unified system that could handle every stage of fabrication in real time.
“Material management was number one, and production flow was the second largest driver,” Budd said. “Really and truly, we wanted to modernize our company to modern standards.”
After evaluating their needs and working closely with the STRUMIS sales team, Delta saw how the platform could support every aspect of their goals, from tracking raw materials to monitoring progress through fabrication and final delivery.
Delta Fabrication implemented STRUMIS, a comprehensive steel fabrication management system that streamlines production, improves accuracy, and provides real-time visibility across all operations.
Budd credits the STRUMIS team for a smooth and efficient implementation process.
“The implementation went very smoothly,” Bud explained. “From a company that had never had an ERP system to this level, the training was excellent. We went live within two weeks after training.”
With strong support from the STRUMIS team, Delta was fully operational in just weeks. The system quickly became an essential part of daily operations.
The most significant improvements came from how efficiently Delta could now track and manage projects. Every part, assembly, and material could be monitored in real time, from raw stock to finished goods.
“It’s really helped us from identifying shortages at the end of a project to knowing exactly where we are from a percentage complete,” Budd said. “We use STRUMIS in every facet of our operation.”
Detailed reports that once took hours now generate in minutes, giving the team instant insight into project status and productivity.
“We can run a report in about two minutes and know exactly what our percentages are,” Budd added. “That level of detail exceeded our expectations.”
The time savings have been dramatic.
“We haven’t tracked it precisely, but it’s probably saved hundreds, if not thousands, of man-hours,” Budd said. “It paid for itself in the first six months we had the system.”
Since going live, Delta Fabrication has seen measurable improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and workflow visibility across all departments.
“I’ve already recommended STRUMIS to one or two companies,” Budd said. “I would recommend it to anybody in the steel fabrication business.”
With STRUMIS in place, Delta Fabrication has positioned itself for long-term success. The company now operates with greater confidence, faster production tracking, and complete visibility from start to finish.
