Why structural steel fabricators choose WorkGuru

Less admin. Fewer surprises. More margin.

Most steel shops run on an old spreadsheet, paper job cards and a wall of emails. It works (hardly) until the jobs get bigger, the claims get messier and nobody can say what a job actually made. WorkGuru replaces the lot.

Find the leaks before they sink the job

Every hour, every length of steel and every galv invoice lands against the job as it happens, with forecast versus actual for each phase. Overruns show up while the steel is still in the shop, so you can fix them before they cost you the margin.

Get paid as the job progresses

Issue progress claims against milestones and sync them straight to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. Variations get added to the project the day they land, so scope creep gets billed instead of eating your margin.

Quote steel, galv and labour without the guesswork

Build quotes from real supplier pricing, labour rates and finishing costs instead of best-guess numbers in a spreadsheet, so you can price the job in hours and know the margin is real.

Get every hour booked to the job

The crew clock on to jobs or pieces from the kiosk or their phones in seconds, not from memory on Friday arvo. Labour lands where it was spent, so you can see which jobs are chewing hours.

Know where every piece is on the floor

Route jobs through your stages - cutting, welding, finishing, despatch - and see where everything sits without walking the shop. Stalled work shows up before it blows the program.

WorkGuru | Job Management for Structural Steel

The shop builds it. The crew installs it. Nothing slips through the cracks.

Fabrication and installation usually live in two different systems, or none at all. In WorkGuru they are phases of the same job, costed against the same budget.

     In the workshop     ✓ Job cards and drawings in one place
✓ Steel issued to the job off the rack
✓ Kiosk clock-on against tasks and job stages
   
     On site     ✓ Crews clock on and off from their phones
✓ Easy add site photos and complete forms
✓ Variations raised the day they happen
   

Keep Everything running smoothly from your phone.

The best tools in your pocket, no matter where you are — on site, in the workshop or out on the road.

100% boost in throughput. Doubled cash flow.

"I feel like it's probably stopped me from putting an extra two or three people on in the office."

Arron MacCue
Director · FWR

Discovered their contract work was not very profitable - and made a change

"We've had a couple of contract jobs where, once we've put everything into WorkGuru, we've gone, 'okay, this is how much we're actually spending on this. We're doing all this effort and we're only making this.' So we were able to turn around and go back to a couple of our contract customers and go, 'alright, this price has to go up.'"

Nick Mazzella

Administrator · Frontline Trays & Trailers

The system scales easily as the business grows

“The purchasing and coordination of materials, then going straight into invoicing, is really fluid. It links in the background with Xero and makes it simple for us to process.”
