Overview:

 Sharjah’s Growing Steel Manufacturing Hub

Sharjah plays a key role in the UAE's industrial sector, particularly in the manufacturing of steel pipes, tubes, and fittings for oil & gas, construction, water supply, and infrastructure projects. The industry is driven by precision manufacturing, strict delivery timelines, and material-grade traceability, making digital ERP solutions essential for operational excellence.

For manufacturers dealing with:

• Length-based production and cutting plans
  
  
• Custom orders and job-based workflows
  
  
• Inventory tracking of raw materials (coils, billets) and finished goods
  
  
• Multi-stage routing: slitting, welding, galvanizing, testing
  
  

A modern ERP like Odoo, implemented by Zolute, ensures traceability, consistency, and compliance across the entire workflow.

Starting or expanding a steel pipe & tube manufacturing unit in Sharjah requires:

• Industrial licenses from the Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD)
  
  
• Facility infrastructure for forming, welding, and finishing lines
  
  
• Access to raw steel supply, domestic or imported
  
  
• Skilled labor, QA/QC technicians, and maintenance engineers
  
  
• Software to manage routing, material planning, job orders, and stock levels
  
  
• VAT-compliant invoicing and audit-ready reporting
  
  

A scalable ERP system becomes essential to handle demand fluctuations and production complexity.

What Are the Features of Odoo for Steel Manufacturing in Sharjah?

Odoo offers an ideal ERP solution for mid to large-scale steel manufacturers focusing on precision routing and made-to-order production:

Production Routing & Work Centers

Inventory Control with Batch Tracking
Track raw material stock by grade, size, and lot number; optimize warehouse placement and movement.

Order-Based Production Planning
Generate manufacturing orders directly from sales or job orders—supporting JIT (Just-in-Time) manufacturing.

BOMs for Pipe Variants
Manage configurable BOMs for pipe diameter, wall thickness, and length.

Quality Control Checkpoints
Add inspection stages between each process—test pressure, coating thickness, and weld seam quality.

Job Costing & Production Analytics
Analyze cost per order, efficiency per machine/operator, and wastage control.

UAE VAT-Ready Invoicing & Accounting
Automate billing, supplier reconciliation, and tax filing aligned with FTA standards.
