Solutions · PEB & Steel Structures
ArchFlow builds the PEB software India's pre-engineered building and steel structure manufacturers run entire projects on — enquiry, estimation, drawings, fabrication, dispatch, erection, billing. It replaces the Excel trackers and WhatsApp threads holding long project cycles together, and every deployment is shaped around how your plant and sites actually run.
Where it breaks
Every enquiry needs an estimate built from span, eave height, bay spacing and crane loads — and your best estimator is the bottleneck. By the time the quote goes out, steel prices have moved and the client is holding three other bids.
One building is stuck at drawing approval, one is half-fabricated, one has trucks loading, one has an idle erection crew. The real status lives in project managers' heads and WhatsApp groups — so leadership learns about slippage after the client does.
Advance on order, payment against approved drawings, pro-rata billing on dispatched tonnage, balance after erection — plus retention. Dispatch registers, invoices and site reports sit in separate Excel sheets, so tonnage goes unbilled and retention quietly ages past its due date.
What we build for you
Capture building specs — length, width, eave height, bays, cladding, crane loads — and build tonne-based, BOM-aware estimates from your own rates. Revisions stay linked to the enquiry, so requoting takes minutes.
Track GA drawings, approval drawings and anchor bolt plans per project — submitted, revised, approved, with dates. The stage where PEB projects silently lose weeks finally has an owner.
Work orders per building, tracked through cutting, fit-up, welding, blasting and painting. See fabricated tonnage against plan for every project, so dispatch commitments are made on facts.
Truckload-wise packing lists, e-way bills and dispatched tonnage per project — sequenced so columns reach site before purlins do, and your erection crew never stands idle waiting for members.
Erection progress per site, across states, updated by your site teams — not reconstructed from phone calls. Milestone completion is recorded once and flows straight into billing.
Raise milestone invoices — advance, drawings, pro-rata dispatch, erection — with GST e-invoicing, retention tracked to its due date, and everything flowing into Tally. Billed tonnage never drifts from dispatched tonnage.
ArchFlow's spine — the full lifecycle from enquiry to installation, BOM-aware quoting, ten departments on one platform — was built and proven inside Pranav Doors & Windows, a premium fenestration manufacturer running daily operations on it across five states since 2024. Your PEB deployment is custom-built: your stages, your drawings, your milestone billing. First modules live in weeks one and two; deployed by week four.
Common questions
The best PEB software India's manufacturers can run is one shaped around their own workflow, not a generic ERP with a steel label. Look for enquiry-to-erection coverage: tonne-based estimation, drawing approval tracking, fabrication and dispatch by tonnage, site progress and milestone billing with GST and Tally. ArchFlow builds exactly that, custom for each manufacturer, on a spine already running a multi-state manufacturing business daily.
A pre-engineered building ERP should run the whole project, not just the ledger: enquiry capture, tonne-based estimation, quotation revisions, drawing submissions and approvals, fabrication tracking, truckload-wise dispatch, site erection progress and milestone billing with retention. Accounting is the last step — most of your money leaks earlier, between departments. ArchFlow covers the full lifecycle on one platform, with Tally handling the books it feeds.
Good PEB project tracking software treats each building as a project with stages — drawings, fabrication, dispatch, erection — not as a sales order that ships once. ArchFlow tracks every project through those stages, shows dispatched versus erected tonnage per site, and ties milestone completion directly to billing. A director sees every live project, in every state, on one screen — without calling a single project manager.
With ArchFlow, your first modules are live in one to two weeks and the full platform is deployed by week four. We build steel building manufacturing software around your existing workflow — your stages, your document names, your billing terms — so your team isn't relearning their own business. You start with the module that hurts most, usually estimation or project tracking, and expand from there.
ArchFlow is scoped per project — talk to us. The scope depends on which modules you start with, how many departments come on, and how much of your workflow we build custom. There are no per-user licence tiers to decode. You start with one or two modules in the first fortnight, see them working on real projects, and scope the rest from there.
