ERP for the metalworking industry
From quote to shipment, in one system.
SipductERP is built for manufacturers of ductwork, sheet-metal parts and HVAC accessories: cutting, bending, welding and assembly. Customers, project files, production, stock and logistics share the same data, in real time.

Dashboards
Your company at a glance, and performance in detail
The Management Dashboard shows the state of the business. The Performance Dashboard shows where time is lost.
- Order book, quotes and conversion rate
- Late orders and backlog ageing
- Lead time per stage: sales, award, production
- Planned vs. actual production, week by week
- Items below minimum stock or reorder point
Performance Dashboard: completion rate, backlog, lead times and weekly output
Project files & document conversion
From quote to work order, without retyping anything
Each job has a project file with customer, site, lines, totals and related documents. Documents convert into one another and stay traceable back to their origin.
- Quote → Customer order, with award date
- Order → Work order, Purchase order or Intra-group order
- Stock check per line before converting
- Configurable conversion rules (workflow engine)
Converting an order with stock check and quantities to produce
Order project file: customer, job, dates and totals
Parametric parts
Enter the dimensions, the ERP does the maths
Each part type has its own fields, formula and dimension drawing. The estimator enters the measurements, and everything else is calculated and saved in the project file.
- Straight ducts, bends, reducers, offsets, branches, collars, end caps, plenums…
- Area, weight and price calculated by formula, using the job’s thickness and joints
- Item code generated automatically for each part
- 3D preview of the part while editing
Rectangular bend: dimensions, reference drawing, area, weight and price
3D load planning
The truck organised before loading
The load engine takes the real geometry of each part and calculates how it fits in the vehicle, with or without pallets.
- Ducts, bends, reducers, offsets and end caps modelled in 3D
- Volume utilisation, total weight and length used
- Automatic overlap check
- Interactive viewer: rotate, zoom, select a part
51 parts placed, 71% utilisation, no overlaps
