Project Overview

Ai Web Solutions developed a complete steel traceability and production management system for CML Steel to support strict UK compliance requirements. The platform provides full visibility from purchase to processing to final site delivery, ensuring every piece of steel can be tracked, audited, and verified. The system replaces manual processes with a unified digital workflow covering quotations, ordering, fabrication, delivery, compliance documentation, and invoicing.

Technology and Approach

Built using Laravel and FilamentPHP, the system features a fast and intuitive admin panel, structured data storage, and powerful workflow automation. The platform was engineered to meet UK traceability standards, providing CML Steel with complete audit readiness and operational efficiency.

App Functionality

Stores all steel specifications, product codes, waste ratios, profit ratios, and diagrams.
Quotation & Order Management

A secure payment-enabled donation module allows users to contribute money, food, medical supplies, and other essentials.
Purchase Management

Tracks supplier purchases, batches, materials, grades, and certificates — the foundation of traceability.
Contractors & Sites

Every contractor and site is fully recorded with documents, contacts, and activity logs.
Fabrication Jobs

Logs cutting, drilling, operators, machines, waste, and batch usage to create a complete fabrication audit trail.
Documents & Compliance

Stores certificates, delivery notes, method statements, risk assessments, and all job-related files.
