The Reality on the Shop Floor

Every Job Is Different. Guesswork Costs You the Margin.

Custom jobs, volatile steel prices, and tight turnaround leave little room for error. These are the gaps that quietly turn a profitable quote into a loss by the time the job ships.

Quotes That Are Slow or Wrong

Customers want same-day pricing, so a quote that is slow loses the job and a quote that is off eats the margin you needed to make it pay.

Steel Prices That Will Not Sit Still

When material prices move between quote and build, a price you locked weeks ago no longer covers what the steel actually costs today.

Scrap and Wasted Material

Poor cutting and nesting leaves offcuts and waste, and every kilo of scrap is margin walking out of the door.

Job-Shop Scheduling Chaos

Dozens of custom jobs competing for the same machines and people makes scheduling a daily scramble, and one slip pushes out the rest.

Subcontracting You Cannot See

Coating, specialised cutting, and finishing often go to subcontractors, and without control those costs and timelines slip through the cracks.

No Traceability for Audits

When a customer demands certified material records or an audit lands, piecing together which heat and which batch went where by hand is slow and risky.

Built on SYSPRO

Every Pressure on the Shop Floor Has a Module Built to Ease It.

SYSPRO has specialised in metal fabrication for decades, not adapted from generic business software. Each capability maps to a pressure that costs you a job, your margin, or a delivery date. Mareba switches on the ones your shop actually needs.

Your SYSPRO Can Also Include

Inventory Management Activity Based Costing Product Configurator Engineering Change Control Factory Documentation

Quotations and Estimates

Builds fast, accurate quotes from real material and labour data, so you turn jobs around same-day and win on price without giving away the margin.

Work in Progress

Captures labour, material, scrap, and subcontract cost against each job as it runs, so you track actual cost against your estimate and see margin before it slips away.

Bill of Materials

Handles custom bills and flexible routings for one-off jobs, giving estimating, the floor, and purchasing one accurate picture of every fabrication.

Manufacturing Operations Management

Brings scheduling and shop floor data into one live view, so dozens of custom jobs competing for the same machines stay sequenced instead of scrambled.

Purchase Order Management

Manages outsourcing and subcontract operations as part of the job, so coating, specialised cutting, and finishing stay visible on cost and on schedule.

Lot Traceability

Tracks material through every stage from receipt to finished product, so certified records and audits become a quick query instead of a paper chase.

The Mareba Difference

A Global ERP, Configured for How You Run and Where You Run It.

SYSPRO gives you the capability. Mareba makes it fit your processes, your statutory rules, and your market, then stays on long after go-live. That is the difference between software you own and software that actually works for you.

Tax and Statutory Compliance, Handled

We configure SYSPRO to meet KRA, VAT, and eTIMS requirements as part of every Kenyan implementation, and the local statutory rules of each market you operate in. Compliance is built into the setup, not bolted on after.

Mareba Implementation Service

Multi-Currency and Multi-Company, Across Borders

Buying steel internationally and selling fabrications across borders? We set up SYSPRO multi-currency and multi-company structures to match how your group actually procures, fabricates, and bills across the region.

Configured to Your Structure

Certified Consultants Who Know the Shop

Our SYSPRO trained consultants have run real fabrication rollouts, so the configuration reflects how a busy job shop actually estimates and produces, not how a manual says it should.

Questions, Answered

The Questions Fabricators Ask Most.

Straight answers on cost, timelines, compliance, and what working with Mareba actually looks like.

It depends on how many sites, users, and processes are involved, but you never figure that out alone. Mareba scopes the project up front, phases the rollout so the shop keeps producing, and draws on more than 20 implementations to keep it on track. Many fabricators go live within months, not years.

SYSPRO gives you the financial and tax structure. Making it meet KRA, VAT, and eTIMS requirements is part of what Mareba configures during your implementation, along with the statutory rules of any other market you operate in. Compliance is built into the setup, not added as an afterthought.

Yes. SYSPRO's estimating and quotation tools build costed quotes from real material and labour data, so you turn jobs around same-day and price them accurately enough to protect the margin. Mareba sets up the estimating rules around how your shop works.

SYSPRO lets you factor material price, labour, scrap, and utilization into your costing, and supports linking to market metal pricing so your costs reflect what steel actually costs. That keeps your quotes and job costs honest even as prices move. Mareba configures this to your materials.

Yes. SYSPRO manages outsourcing and subcontract operations as integrated steps in the job, so coating, specialised cutting, and finishing stay visible on both cost and schedule rather than disappearing into a supplier's hands. Mareba builds those steps into your job flow.

Yes. SYSPRO provides lot traceability and material records from raw stock to finished product, so when a customer needs certified records or an audit lands, the history is a quick query. Mareba configures traceability to the standards your customers require.

You are not handed a login and left to it. Mareba trains your team, then stays on with support from people in your timezone and on your continent. When a question comes up mid-shift, you reach someone who works the same hours you do.
