From Paper-Based Tracking to Full Project Traceability: How Jadeela Steel Gained Real-Time Control with Fabritec
Jadeela Steel was running complex PEB fabrication projects on Excel, paper records, and phone calls. As project volume grew, visibility collapsed and client confidence was at risk. After implementing Fabritec in January 2025, the team gained real-time control across projects, production stages, drawings, quality, and reporting — and eliminated manual tracking entirely.
Reduction in manual production monitoring time
Improvement in production visibility and reporting accuracy
Challenge
As Jadeela Steel’s project volume increased, their operations began to suffer from limited visibility and fragmented control. Production tracking and project updates relied heavily on manual, paperbased workflows, Excel sheets, emails, and phone calls. While these tools worked at smaller scale, they created serious operational risks as complexity grew. Key challenges included: No real-time visibility into project or production status Lost or incomplete data from past projects Fragmented communication across departments High dependency on manual updates and paperwork Limited ability to confidently report progress to clients These gaps resulted in operational blind spots, slower decision-making, and growing pressure to maintain credibility with clients during active projects.
Solution
Jadeela Steel implemented Fabritec, a fabrication-focused Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed specifically for steel and PEB operations. Approach Fabritec was deployed as the single operational backbone, replacing disconnected tools and manual tracking with a unified, real-time system. Fabritec Capabilities Used Centralized project dashboards Digital production and workflow tracking Real-time project status visibility Structured documentation and record-keeping Client-accessible project dashboards Implementation Fabritec was rolled out across Jadeela’s active projects, enabling teams to: 1.Digitally track production progress across all stages 2.Maintain a single source of truth for all project data 3.Eliminate paper records and scattered spreadsheets 4.Monitor project status in real time through centralized dashboards The system went live in Jan 2025 and was adopted across operations.
Results
Operational Impact Real-time control across all projects Single, centralized view for management Elimination of paper-based tracking Data & Process Impact Reduced errors through digital workflows Reliable, centralized project records Clear accountability across teams Commercial & Client Impact Higher client trust and credibility Live project transparency for clients Stronger position in commercial discussions
“Fabritec enabled full real-time visibility across our projects, both internally and client-facing. This level of transparency strengthened client confidence and supported our commercial engagements.”
