One record from pipe heat to a marked, certified butt-weld elbow, tee or reducer.
Enquiries, size and schedule lists, mill pipe heats, push-forming runs, normalising loads, wall thickness checks, bevelling, marking and despatch share one record. Each lot carries its source heat, forming run and inspection readings, so an EN 10204 3.1 certificate draws from stored values rather than pasted ones. Cartons are packed against a lot and a heat. Shortages show before loading.
- Sizes, schedules and grades entered as you quote them
- Open orders and pipe balances brought over
- Inspection limits agreed with your inspectors
Fitting makers that push-form elbows, tees and reducers keep orders, mill pipe heats, forming runs, normalising loads and inspection readings on one GullySystem record. A lot holds its source heat, forming die, thickness readings and certificate right up to the moment its cartons are marked. Nobody retypes a heat number.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and quotation
The buyer lists type, size, schedule, grade and end type, and the quote is priced from pipe weight, forming, normalising and testing hours.
- 2
Order and lots
Accepted orders are split into lots, each with a route of saw, form, normalise, bevel, pickle, check and mark. Routes differ by family.
- 3
Pipe receipt
Hot-finished pipe, welded pipe, plate or forged blanks are booked in with heat number and mill certificate, then issued to the lot against its route card. PMI readings are saved beside it.
- 4
Forming and trimming
Operators record pieces formed per die, mandrel and shift, along with scrap from cracks, thinning at the extrados or wrinkles on the intrados.
- 5
Treatment and checks
Lots go into furnace loads with soak temperature and time recorded, then samples are measured for wall thickness, angle, centre-to-end and out-of-round. A failed lot waits for a decision.
- 6
Marking, packing and despatch
Marks and certificates are printed from the lot record, then cartons are packed, counted and shipped with a packing list that names each lot and heat.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Estimate/Quotation Management
Fittings are priced from pipe weight, forming, normalising and inspection hours, and a change of grade, schedule or quantity is saved as a numbered revision.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Each lot lists the mill pipe heats it was built from, so a buyer’s question on one carton opens the matching mill certificate.
- Work Order Management
A lot opens with its saw, form and trim steps, and operators record pieces formed per die, mandrel and shift.
- Quality Control
Wall thickness, angle and centre-to-end readings are saved per sample, and a lot outside the schedule limit is held for a decision.
- Job Work Management
Lots sent for pickling or passivation at an outside house are counted on the way out and checked when they return.
- Bill of Materials
Each fitting type lists its pipe or blank, forming die, treatment and marking, so a repeat order draws the correct route.
- Barcodes and Labels
Carton labels print lot, heat, size, schedule and grade from the lot record, so the mark on the box matches the certificate.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For the owner
See lots by stage, furnace loads, held lots and quotations waiting for a buyer’s reply, then ask what is late without walking the floor of the press shop.
For planners
Split orders into lots, assign dies and presses, and see which heat or furnace load is holding a lot back, before the buyer calls to chase it.
For forming operators
Read the fitting spec. Enter pieces formed per die and report cracks, wrinkles or thinning at the intrados the moment they appear on the press.
For the furnace operator
Write the lots into each load with soak temperature and time. Release them for checking once the cycle ends.
For quality staff
Enter thickness and dimension readings, hold lots outside limits and issue heat certificates from stored values, never from a pasted sheet.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Lots by stage and fitting family
- Pipe heats with the lots built from each
- Furnace loads with lots, soak and time
- Wall thickness readings by lot and size
- Die use and reconditioning due
- Held lots with the cause of each hold
- Shipments by order, lot and carton
Who this is built for.
- Plants push-forming butt-weld elbows, tees and reducers
- Forged threaded and socket weld fitting makers who machine their own threads and bores, and who need each forging blank traced to its heat.
- Stainless and alloy fitting producers who solution anneal their lots and pickle them before marking, with the furnace chart kept beside the lot.
- Fabrication shops with a fitting section.
- Makers supplying contractors.
When it is not the right choice.
- A pipe supplier that only resells imported fittings, with no forming or treatment of its own, needs trading and stock software instead.
- Valve work is closer to Valve Manufacturer Management Software.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Is raw pipe tracked to the finished elbow?
Yes. A lot names the pipe heats used, so a certificate request for one carton opens the mill sheet for those heats.
Can I count how many fittings a die has formed?
Operators enter pieces formed per die, and the die’s running count and reconditioning date are shown to the tool room before the next lot is loaded.
How are furnace loads recorded?
A load lists the lots inside with soak temperature and time, and results or notes are attached to each lot when the cycle ends.
What if thickness comes out under the schedule?
Each outcome for the held lot is logged: sorted, scrapped, re-formed or accepted on concession. The entry carries the decider’s name and the release date.
Can cartons carry heat numbers on labels?
Yes. Labels print lot, heat, size, schedule and grade from the lot record, so the carton mark matches the certificate.
Does it cover forged fittings?
Forged threaded and socket weld fittings are set up as separate types, with forging blanks, machining routes for bore and thread, and the class rating on the mark.
What drives the quote?
Presses, users and fitting families set the figure. Share your requirements with a few of your elbows, tees and reducers, and the quote is built around them.
Can pipe stock be loaded from our sheets?
Pipe lengths, heats and balances are imported from your sheet, and a small sample is verified with your store staff before the full list is loaded.
Who changes certificate formats?
GullySystem staff update the layouts on request. Past certificates keep the layout they were issued in, so an old copy never changes.
