Competition is fierce in the metals industry. Steel service centers and manufacturers need to be able to respond quickly to customer needs, meeting tight price points and timelines, or risk losing work to competitors. During high volume periods or in the rush to fulfill orders, manufacturers can struggle to produce the right quantities and maintain the high quality customers demand. Control quality, quantity and profit margins by deploying a powerful business management solution, like RealSTEEL.
It can be difficult for a steel service center and manufacturer to find an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that fully meets operational needs. Managing inventory can be very complex, often by the very number of metal variables alone, and there are specialized calculations and processes for estimating customer orders, determining scrap, and ensuring healthy profit margins. Fighting disparate software or working with inadequate software will lead to frustration and costly mistakes. Instead, deploy an integrated business solution designed specifically for the steel and metal industry.
