FabTrol Systems consolidates UK offices to better meet steel fabricators’ needs

EUGENE, OR - With the announcement this month of its United Kingdom office consolidation, FabTrol Systems positions itself to better serve steel fabricators in the UK, Ireland, South Africa and other international markets.

This consolidation, combined with recent and ongoing improvements to FabTrol’s MRP software, enhances FabTrol’s ability to serve fabricators across the globe.

Bringing sales and services together under FabTrol Systems. FabTrol Systems and CSC (UK) Ltd recently collaborated to bring the development and sales/training teams under one roof, as FabTrol Systems UK, in the Bradford office. This consolidation delivers the immediate synergy derived from two seasoned teams—both working directly for FabTrol Systems—in daily contact, each bringing their expertise to FabTrol Systems UK efforts to provide benefits to steel fabricators and the steel fabrication industry.

Ongoing improvements to FabTrol MRP. In the last year, steel fabricators have received the benefit of four significant upgrades to the company’s world-leading integrated steel fabrication management software, FabTrol MRP. With the major release of FabTrol MRP Version 3.0 and four subsequent releases, fabricators can now take advantage of:

  • augmented automatic data capture and integrated CNC data flow to the shop floor
  • a full-featured RFI management system
  • a detailer material definitions’ export to facilitate trouble-free drawing imports
  • a Plate Management module that includes roundtrip integration with shaped-plate nesting software (such as ProNEST and SigmaNEST), while providing material traceability for all plate parts through integration with the software’s existing stock and purchasing systems
  • augmented real-time production tracking, and enhanced two-way communication with CNC machines, including automated reporting of part status

This most recent release marks the final upgrade in a series of upgrades initiated with release of FabTrol MRP Version 3.0.

FabTrol Systems is committed to this kind of ongoing development, and now, with the consolidated UK office, the company will have even greater awareness of the features that provide value to fabricators in the UK, Ireland and other international markets served by FabTrol Systems.

Expanding FabTrol Systems’ presence in the UK, Ireland, South Africa and other international markets was one of President Ewen Dobbie’s key goals when the Dowco Group purchased FabTrol Systems in the autumn of 2008. Since that date, FabTrol and its growing international reseller network, have acquired major new accounts in the Middle East, India and China and this latest move enhances FabTrol’s ability to serve those international markets. Currently, FabTrol Systems provides steel fabrication software, support and training to over a thousand companies in 22 countries worldwide.
