An on-premise steel fabrication management software for large steel fabricators that includes estimating, MRP, production control, and estimating tools.
STRUMIS emphasizes integration, efficiency, and detailed analysis in managing steel fabrication projects.
Not bad
I like the interaction with BIM. But when it comes to budget vs actuals is sadly bad. There is no way to check or differentiate between labor hours and machine hours.

Our experience has been great, they are always ready to work with us and we’re in regular contact with our account manager.
Strumis' capabilities are endless and the response time to service calls are very short. Strumis has been one of the core drivers of our growth from a small shop to a 1000 ton plus shop.
The only cons for Strumis are the same as any great software, and that's the investment required. It's well worth it, and the ROI is obvious, but it's understandable that small shops are hesitant to make the leap to any MRP software.
It serves us well.
Strumis is very flexible and handles all of my small bridge, misc. steel, and structural fabrication requirements. One of the features that helps me tremendously are parametric assemblies. Most of my estimating is from a 2D electronic takeoff or from paper drawings, I also like that I'm able to import BOM's from almost every detailer or model something in my license of SDS/2 and simply import it. There are many reports, and I can create custom reports without any 3rd party software. The nesting features have been a game changer.
I wish it had a built in 2D takeoff tool.
It makes my work impossible to get done in a timely manner. No simple reports such as, how much material do I have left over in a certain sequence. You have to export to excel and configure it yourself. It’s a waste of time.
Strumis continually bogs down. If you put everything into this program you will lose days worth of work. Reports are ridiculously complex and you end up making your own reports with their "export to excel" feature.
