Structural steel workshop with digital logistics tracking

Traceability software for structural steel

Track every steel part from workshop to site, without wasting time or losing information

Fabbim helps structural steel companies track their assemblies, parts, deliveries and galvanizing returns with a simple method: import, identify, scan, control and deliver with greater confidence.

Thanks to IFC import, durable QR code labels, mobile scanning and shared 3D visualization, your teams finally know where every part is, what has been loaded, what has been delivered, what is returning from galvanizing and what is missing on site.

Why do structural steel projects lose time and money?

In many workshops, the information already exists in the model, bills of materials or Excel sheets, but it does not properly follow the parts in the real world. The result: unnecessary phone calls, incomplete loads, poorly tracked galvanizing returns, receiving disputes and wasted time finding the right elements.

📦

Missing parts

You know they exist, but no one knows exactly whether they are in the workshop, at the galvanizer, on the truck or already on site.

🚚

Loading errors

Truck departures are validated too late or incompletely, with omissions that are costly in both time and transport.

🔥

Complex galvanizing tracking

Galvanizing shipments and returns quickly become unclear when labels do not last and statuses are not updated.

📞

Too many unnecessary exchanges

The office, workshop, haulier and site team do not have the same information at the same time.

Fabbim: a practical solution for steel part traceability

Fabbim is a cloud platform dedicated to structural steel. It connects the digital model, assemblies, labels, scans and logistics movements to give every stakeholder a clear view of the project.

  • Tracking of every part from workshop to construction site.
  • Connection between IFC import, assemblies and 3D views.
  • QR code labels adapted to workshop, painting or galvanizing constraints.
  • Faster validation of loading and receiving operations.
  • Movement history to reduce disputes and manage teams more effectively.

Fabbim does not replace your fabrication software. It extends its usefulness in the field, where information loss is most expensive.

What you gain with Fabbim

Better control of departures and receiving.
Less wasted time
Find an assembly, mark or package faster.
Better project visibility
Office, workshop and site finally share the same database.
More peace of mind
Every movement can be tracked, dated and verified.

QR code labels for galvanizing, painting and workshop tracking

Durable QR code label for galvanized structural steel

Reliable traceability starts with reliable identification. Fabbim relies on labels designed for the real constraints of structural steel.

  • Resistance to high temperatures
  • Resistance to shot blasting
  • Resistance to acids and aggressive environments
  • Protection for painting workflows
  • QR code + assembly reference readable at a glance

Once connected to Fabbim, each label becomes a simple control point for the workshop, galvanizer, transport team and site.

Tags for shot blasting

Labels designed to resist highly aggressive environments and keep the part identifiable throughout the process.

Galvanizing tags

Identification solutions designed for hot-dip galvanizing, acids and mechanical shocks.

Paint tags

Labels compatible with painting stages, with suitable protection to keep the marking readable.

Scan parts quickly, even in the workshop or on site

Fabbim includes QR code scanning so your teams can update statuses directly at the moment the action happens: fabrication completed, part loaded, part delivered, site receiving, galvanizing return.

Depending on your needs, you can work with:

  • a standard smartphone;
  • a smartphone with built-in scanner;
  • an industrial terminal for more demanding environments.

The goal is not to complicate field work, but to make status updates as simple as scanning a code.

How does Fabbim work day to day?

Fabbim follows the natural flow of a structural steel project. The platform structures the data from the model, links assemblies to labels, then allows teams to update statuses at every important stage.

You get a clearer view of the real project situation, without unnecessary re-entry and without relying only on phone calls or emails.

What Fabbim concretely changes for your teams

“We spend less time looking for parts and more time moving forward.”

Structural steel workshop

“Truck departures are clearer, so we avoid costly returns and missing items.”

Logistics manager

“The site team finally knows what is actually arriving, and when.”

Demo

See how Fabbim connects the model, labels and field operations

In Fabbim, an imported assembly can be found, isolated in 3D, identified by its label, then scanned to update its status. It is this continuity between the office, workshop and site that saves time every day.

Why Fabbim helps you sell better, fabricate better and deliver better

Information accessible everywhere

Office, workshop, haulier and construction site can consult the same project data without relying on scattered exchanges.

Fewer misunderstandings between teams

Decisions are made faster when the status of a part is visible and shared by everyone.

Useful traceability in case of disputes

History of scans, loading and movements to better secure logistics exchanges.

A cleaner project database

Drawings, marks, history, logistics tracking and documentation remain grouped in one environment.

Concrete benefits of Fabbim for a structural steel company

By connecting the model, labels and field scans, Fabbim reduces manual searches and speeds up decision-making.
Checks are simpler before departure, and receiving is clearer on the construction site side.
Galvanizing shipments and returns become easier to track thanks to readable identifiers and updated statuses.
When everyone works from the same database, omissions, duplicates and misunderstandings are greatly reduced.
