Case Study: From Submittal Chaos to Project Control
— How Salvi Steel Reinvented Fabrication using tantraOne ERP

Salvi Steel, a leading New Jersey fabricator, replaced spreadsheet chaos with modern document control, RFI management, and real-time client/vendor workflows—propelling them to the top of U.S. steel supply chains.

Industry: Structural Steel Fabrication · Location: New Jersey, USA

The U.S. Steel Fabrication Challenge

As Salvi Steel grew, the cost and risk of “information chaos” multiplied—especially in:

RFI (Request for Information) lost in email threads; client answers easily missed
Inconsistent document management—wrong shop drawings released, submittal errors
No version control for addendums/change orders; out-of-date docs always a risk
Fragmented communication between estimation, shop, and field teams
Audit trail anxiety: finding what changed, who approved, and what was sent when

The Webtantrah TantraOne ERP Solution

Webtantrah deployed tantraOne ERP for Salvi Steel with special focus on US fabrication/control compliance:

Unified platform: RFI, drawings, PO, change orders—all tracked in one system
Robust document management: versioned, permissioned, accessible everywhere
RFI/Change workflows with built-in alerting, due dates, and auto-escalation
Addendum & revision stamping: single source of truth, always
Secure cloud access for project teams, clients, and inspectors (auditable logs)
Onboarding, U.S. regulatory support, and ongoing 1:1 training
