PURCHASING, DELIVERIES & MILL CERTS — FOR STEEL FABRICATORS

Buy smarter. Chase less.

ProcureLog follows each job's material from the RFQ to the last mill certificate — who quoted what, which PO went where, what's on hold, what arrives tomorrow and which certs are still missing. Built in a working steel fabrication shop, for steel fabricators.

SEE IT IN ACTION
Watch how ProcureLog works

A quick 2-minute tour: from the PO to the call-up, the delivery, the mill certs and your stock.

WHO IT'S FOR
Built for steel fabricators.

If you buy steel for each job from several suppliers — quotes, POs split in parts, deliveries held and called up, and mill certs the builder will ask for at the end — ProcureLog is for you.

🏗️

Structural steel fabricators

Beams, columns, PFCs, angles, hollow sections and plate — with mill certs per item and offcut stock by official section.

🛠️

Another kind of fabricator?

Aluminium, precast, sheet metal, joinery… the buying chain is the same. We can adapt ProcureLog to your materials — tell us how you work.

THE PROBLEM
The material is ordered. But is it coming — and where are the certs?

Quotes arrive by email, POs live in the accounts system, call-ups happen on the phone and the mill certs sit in someone's inbox. When the builder asks for the certs of a phase, or a delivery turns up short, everybody starts digging. It's not a people problem — it's a tracking problem.

Weeksa PO can sit "on hold until called up" before someone remembers it.

INSIDE PROCURELOG
From RFQ to the last certificate.

Every job, every phase, every supplier — each step of buying the material lives in one place.

01Jobs & phases

Create the job with its steel budget and project manager, split it into phases (or not — phases are optional), and see at a glance how much of the budget the POs have used.

  • Budget vs. spent per job, with a warning when it goes over
  • Phases with their nesting file attached
  • Internal tasks per job and per phase, ticked off as you go
  • Search any PO, quote, supplier or note and jump straight to it

02Suppliers, quotes & POs

Each supplier on a phase gets its own page: RFQ date, quote and revised price, PO, documents and notes — including several POs from the same supplier when one PO can't hold all the lines.

  • Quotes, revised quotes, sales confirmations and POs filed per supplier
  • Contacts by role: sales, quotes, dispatch, accounts, QA
  • "Email RFQ" opens a ready-written email to their quotes contact
  • Ticks for "Added to Strumis" and renesting, so nothing is skipped

03Call-ups & deliveries

Give a delivery date — tomorrow, the day after, or any date — or put the PO on hold until called up. Held POs wait in their own list until you call them up, and the call-up is logged with the date you made it.

  • "POs on hold" list, longest waiting first, with a Call up button
  • Calendar of every booked delivery, reminder before it's due
  • "Email call-up" sends the PO, date and site address to their dispatch contact
  • "Delivered with issue": missing items, short, damaged — open until resolved

04Mill certificates

Every PO becomes an entry. ProcureLog reads the items straight from your PO PDF — even scanned ones — and you tick each line as its certs arrive. When a phase is complete, one click builds a single PDF with every cert, named and ready to send to the builder.

  • Items read automatically from the PO (MYOB-style PDFs included)
  • 1, 2 or 3 certs attached per item; a bar shows 0–100%
  • "Request missing certs" emails the supplier only the items still missing
  • Export per phase or for the whole job: Millcerts – Level 2 Beams – J-104.pdf

Offcuts recognised by their official section — "PFC-180", "PFC 180 × 75" and "180PFC" are the same 180 PFC — with a warning when a size doesn't exist. Pick a profile and see every length, then allocate part of it to a job.

  • Australian sections built in: UB, UC, PFC, EA, UA, SHS, RHS, CHS…

  • Offcuts in the yard that nobody can find on paper

With ProcureLog

  • Every quote and PO filed under the job, phase and supplier
  • A live list of POs on hold, oldest first
  • Call-ups logged with their date, emailed in one click
  • Delivery issues open on the dashboard until resolved
  • Certs ticked per item, exported as one PDF per phase
  • Stock by official section, allocated to jobs

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is ProcureLog only for steel fabricators?

It's built for steel fabricators — official sections, mill certs per item, offcut stock. If you fabricate with other materials, we can adapt it to you: get in touch and tell us how you work.

Does it replace our accounting or ERP system?

No. You keep raising POs where you do today. ProcureLog tracks what happens around them — quotes, call-ups, deliveries, issues and certificates — and can read the PO PDF your system already produces.

How does it read the items from our POs?

Upload the PO PDF and ProcureLog reads the quantity and description of each line, even when the PDF is a scan. You check the list before saving, so nothing goes in wrong.

What happens to the mill certificates?

Each item on a PO gets its certs attached (one, two or three — however many the supplier sends). When a phase or job is complete, ProcureLog joins every cert into a single PDF named by phase and job, ready to send to the builder.

Can we use it without phases?

Yes. Phases are optional — add suppliers straight to the job, or split it into phases whenever it helps.

Where is our data kept, and can we get it out?

Your data is saved online automatically with a daily copy, and you can download a full backup or export to Excel at any time.

Is there a free trial?

There is no free trial, but there is also no setup fee and no lock-in. Book a free demo to see ProcureLog with your own POs. If you subscribe and it isn't right for you, cancel any time from Settings.
