Zirkel Technologies GmbH and STRUMIS have announced a partnership, combining ERP and integration expertise with specialist steel fabrication management software. Together, the companies will help structural steel and metal fabrication businesses create a more connected flow of information from estimating and material management through to production tracking.
Zirkel Technologies has operated since 2016 as a vendor-neutral consulting and implementation house for SAP, Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 in the industrial Mittelstand, with a sector focus on mechanical and plant engineering, metalworking, steel and metals trading, construction and structural steel, and the paper and chemical industries.
STRUMIS has developed fabrication management software for structural steel since 1986. The software provides specialist capabilities including material optimisation, nesting and remnant management, barcode-driven production tracking and detailed traceability. Today, more than 45,000 users in over 70 countries worldwide rely on STRUMIS to manage their steel fabrication operations.
The partnership creates a clear and complementary approach, with each system focused on what it does best. STRUMIS manages the specialist requirements of steel fabrication, while the ERP supports wider business processes such as procurement, financial management and project control. Zirkel Technologies provides the integration expertise to connect the two, helping ensure information flows effectively across the business.
“When an integration estimate makes a best-of-breed decision look unaffordable, the cost rarely sits in the second system. It sits in the coupling pattern that was assumed. STRUMIS brings the fabrication depth natively. Our job is to keep the ERP lean, rather than duplicating operational detail the fabrication platform already holds.” Valentin Kaltenbach · Co-CEO, Zirkel Technologies GmbH
“Our customers don’t operate STRUMIS in isolation. It sits within established ERP environments that have evolved over many years. Through our partnership with Zirkel Technologies, we can ensure those systems connect effectively, with an integration approach designed to support both day-to-day operations and the critical demands of period close.” Stuart Thompson · CEO, STRUMIS
For customers, the partnership provides a more coordinated approach to integration, with Zirkel Technologies and STRUMIS working together to establish clear responsibilities, reliable data exchange and a smooth implementation. This gives businesses greater confidence that their ERP and fabrication management systems can work effectively together, while allowing each platform to remain focused on the processes it is designed to manage.
