Frequently asked questions about steel construction ERP
01What is an ERP for steel construction?+
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) for steel construction is an integrated management software that covers all the processes of a structural steelwork company: quotes, CAD design, workshop production, stock management, logistics and accounting. TopSteel is specifically designed for this sector, unlike generic ERPs.
02Can TopSteel import CAD files (Tekla, Advance Steel)?+
Yes, TopSteel integrates a CAD import module compatible with the main software on the market: Tekla Structure, Autodesk Advance Steel and SolidWorks. BOMs are automatically generated from imported 3D models.
03How does DSTV export for CNC machines work?+
TopSteel automatically generates files in DSTV format (the steel construction industry standard) from your BOMs. These files are directly usable by your CNC cutting, drilling and marking machines.
04How much does a steel construction ERP cost?+
TopSteel offers a free Discovery plan to get started, then plans from 99 euros/month. This is significantly more affordable than traditional solutions that often require an initial investment of tens of thousands of euros.
05Is TopSteel suitable for small metal fabrication businesses?+
Absolutely. TopSteel was designed for SMEs in steel construction, from 1 to 200 employees. The interface is intuitive and does not require complex training. The free plan lets you start with no commitment.
06What are the advantages of a cloud ERP for steel construction?+
A cloud ERP like TopSteel offers several advantages: no server to install or maintain, accessibility from the workshop, office or site, automatic updates, secure data backup and real-time team collaboration.
