Project Management for Metal
In metalworking, high material cost, multi-operation routings and scrap sensitivity demand that every function sees the real consumption and cost at each step. End-to-end management for construction, project and contracting firms. Project cards and multiple sites, task and activity tracking, project-based costing, progress-payment and contract management; profitability analysis integrated with finance and accounting.
Metal context
Why Project Management works differently in Metal
In Metal, metalworking operations center on sector-specific concepts such as cutting-bending-welding routings, scrap and waste, sheet/plate dimension and batch difference. In metalworking, high material cost, multi-operation routings and scrap sensitivity demand that every function sees the real consumption and cost at each step.
Qera ERP's Project Management module is set up around the reality of metal: Combines operations, material and scrap in order/project-based production for progress-payment and cost visibility.
- When multi-operation routings (cutting, bending, welding, machining) aren't standardized, planning and costing get tangled.
- When scrap and waste aren't tracked, material loss and true cost stay invisible.
- When dimension, quality and batch differences in materials like sheet/plate can't be tracked, stock management becomes hard.
Capabilities
How Qera Project Management works in Metal
The core capabilities of the Project Management module, framed for the ton, plate and sheet needs of the metal sector.
Project card and address management

Document management
Store contracts, technical drawings, permits and reports within the module; create a single shared source of truth for all stakeholders.
Project-based cost tracking
Materials, salaries and machine rentals from procurement, inventory and HR are posted automatically to projects; compare actual cost with budget.
Progress-payment and contract management
Record progress-payment and payment contracts made with customers; manage cash flow by tracking progress payments and payment processes.
Project reports
Report completed, ongoing and pending projects with their budget, cost and profitability status; measure task and team performance.
