John Reid & Son Ltd (REIDsteel) is known worldwide for delivering complex steel structures with precision and excellence. So when it came time to replace their legacy MRP system, they didn’t just look for a software upgrade, they sought a true technology partner.
After an extensive evaluation, REIDsteel selected STRUMIS to support their business development and expansion strategy ensuring the backbone of their operations was as resilient, efficient, and forward-thinking as the buildings they construct.
REIDsteel has earned global respect for designing and fabricating everything from industrial facilities and commercial steel buildings to highway bridges, aircraft hangars, and disaster-resistant structures. Their projects span across continents and climates—requiring total confidence in their internal systems to support high standards and international demand.
With a commitment to best practices and continuous innovation, REIDsteel found their match in STRUMIS.
“During our extensive search for a replacement for our previous MRP system, we found that STRUMIS matched our demanding focus on specific features and functions we only discovered within STRUMIS.
It was also paramount, as a company who adopt the very best practices, we partnered with a software solutions company (who have the same vision) in STRUMIS Ltd—who are very aware of the latest technologies and the need to keep ahead of the curve.”
— Mr. Tim Reid, Chairman & Drawing Office Director, REIDsteel
Transitioning from a long-standing MRP system can be challenging, but with clear communication and experienced guidance from STRUMIS, REIDsteel successfully embedded the new system with minimal disruption.
“Migrating staff and processes from an existing system to a new system can be a challenge, but we at REIDSteel, along with the STRUMIS team, ensured there was minimum disruption to our day-to-day operations whilst we embedded STRUMIS into our working practices.”
— Mr. Tim Reid
For REIDsteel’s production team, the switch to STRUMIS meant not just new tools—but smarter tools. Alan Stone, Head of Production, brought deep STRUMIS experience to the company and immediately saw its potential being realized.
“As an end user of STRUMIS at my previous places of work, it was reassuring that I was joining a company in REIDSteel who had already implemented STRUMIS.
As a ‘STRUMIS Champion,’ I was able to offer my expertise and previous experience in obtaining the maximum benefit of the STRUMIS program when I joined the company.”
Mr. Alan Stone, Head of Production, REIDsteel
Today, REIDsteel continues to adopt new STRUMIS features as they’re released, building on an already strong foundation of efficiency and control.
“It is satisfying to see that STRUMIS are making new releases of the program around every 14 months and that they continue to drive their evolution of STRUMIS to deliver more benefits to their customers across the globe.
The STRUMIS team of 20 staff in their Derby office are always on-hand if we need any help and assistance learning new features and functions.”
Mr. Alan Stone
At STRUMIS, we work with companies that strive for excellence—and we saw that immediately in REIDsteel.
“Following detailed meetings and demonstrations on existing functionality and our development roadmap, I was pleased we were able to meet the exacting needs of REIDSteel.
It was clear they understood the full potential of a dedicated steel fabrication software solution, and I’m delighted to see REIDSteel go from strength to strength as a thriving, modern business.”
