We're here to help
The recent and abrupt exit of a steel fabrication management MIS software provider has negatively impacted our industry and we feel it’s prudent to address this issue head on, starting with this open letter. This sudden departure has left many in a precarious position including the hundreds of steel fabrication shops that relied on their platform to conduct business. To those affected by this market disruption, we would like to communicate the following points:
In the coming days and weeks we’ll have more announcements regarding our plans to support steel fabricators during this time of transition. We welcome your feedback and comments on how we can best meet your needs, feel free to reach out to us online and share your thoughts and concerns.
Sincerely,
Carl Taylor
Regional Director,
Structures Administration
We are committed to supporting the steel and metal fabricators that have been displaced by this turn of events and we’re working hard to develop the tools and materials needed to support your evaluation of alternative solutions.
Our positive reputation in this marketplace has been earned through our understanding of fabricator’s current and future needs and our willingness to reinvest in our solutions to meet those needs through continual platform improvements. That level of commitment to innovation will only grow with this recent development.
For those steel fabricators who choose Tekla PowerFab as their new structural steel fabrication management solution, we are humbled by the trust you’ve put in us. There is no doubt onboarding such a large number of new users in a short period of time will be a challenge requiring a lot of hard work and some patience from all involved but we assure you we’re up to the task.
What our customers are saying:
“The best benefit— everybody has access to real-time data at any time.”
