One reference point for the whole job

Wexl Datum runs a fabrication business end to end — enquiry, quote, job, workshop, site, delivery — off the one thing every other system gets wrong: the steel itself.

Built with a working fabricator, not from a feature list.

It knows what steel weighs

Pick a section and the weight, the surface area, the galvanising and the paint all come off the same geometry. Nobody types a weight, so nobody types the wrong one.

Job numbers that match your convention

27/0001, rolling at your financial year, never reused and never skipped — including when something fails halfway through. It is how your business refers to work, so it is not ours to change.

Quotes you can compare

A revision is a new version with the old one kept, priced at the rates in force on the day. Reprint a quote from March and it still says what you agreed in March.

One box that finds anything

A job number, half a customer name, a phrase from a description, a postcode. If you can remember any part of it, you can find it.

The way work actually goes

  1. An enquiry comes in and gets a number
  2. Quote it off real section weights
  3. Win it — the job number is issued and the steel list is already there
  4. Make it, coat it, deliver it

Nothing is re-typed between those steps. Winning a quote issues the job number and copies the steel across, so the workshop starts from what was actually sold.

Records an audit asks for, as a by-product

Structural steelwork placed on the UK market is governed by BS EN 1090, and most small fabricators run that on paper. Datum captures the chain as the normal work happens — the mill certificate when steel is booked in, the batch when a member is cut, the welder when a task is assigned — so nobody fills in a compliance form.

  • Material traceability from goods-in to the mark it became
  • Welder qualifications, with expiry that blocks an assignment before it happens
  • Declarations of Performance generated from records the workflow already created

Datum maintains the records a Factory Production Control system requires and produces the declaration. It does not certify anyone — that is your notified body’s job.
