The problem we solve

Compliance shouldn't hold up the job.

You ship compliance documents with most orders. Run that on inboxes and spreadsheets and it delays production, shipping and payment.

Managers hunting for cert data that should already be on their screen.
Production staff re-keying heat numbers instead of running machines.
Detailers squinting at blurry PDFs from 2015.
Compliance managers rebuilding audit packs by hand because “that’s how we’ve always done it”.
Finance waiting on the cert before the invoice can even go out.

MillCert Reader with certificate PDFs turned into verified, searchable data

Step 01 · Goods in

Upload a mill cert. Create the stock it belongs to.

Drop in the PDF. GoSmarter extracts grade, heat number and test values. Then create an inventory item linked to that cert, so every length carries its heat code from the start.

However you're set up

Start today. Grow into your ERP when you're ready.

You might be moving off spreadsheets, replacing a system that isn’t working, or keeping an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that mostly does the job. GoSmarter fits all three.

On spreadsheets today?

Upgrade to a system.

If you’re running on shared drives and guesswork, GoSmarter connects stock, certs and plans. No IT project, no consultant. Configured in 30 minutes, live in a day. This is where most teams start.

Unhappy with your current system?

Replace what isn't working.

If your stock or traceability system is clunky or half-used, GoSmarter can take over that job. Keep whatever still works and retire what doesn’t.

Already have an ERP?

Keep it. We sit alongside.

If your ERP mostly works, keep it, whether that’s Infor, Epicor, Dynamics or Sage. Our open REST API and MCP server keep the GoSmarter side of integration simple. How quickly it lands depends on your ERP. Start standalone, connect by CSV, or run a full real-time sync when it suits you.

Then plan the cut

Plan the cut on stock you can trace.

Once certificates and stock are linked, GoSmarter builds cutting plans on what you really have. Every piece keeps its heat number. Every suggestion shows its reasoning, so planners stay in control.

A rebar manufacturer, Midland Steel, ran two weeks of live production through GoSmarter.

Real orders, cut on real stock.

20–50%

Less scrap, as a range

Deliberately conservative, so you don’t have to assume you’ll match the best result.

The business case

Return you can put in a spreadsheet.

The wins compound because one platform connects everything. Cert data feeds stock, stock feeds cut plans, and better plans mean fewer shortages and faster invoicing. Put your own numbers in. It takes 2 minutes, needs no account, and you can export the case as a PDF for your finance director.

Straight talk

What GoSmarter isn't.

Not an ERP replacement. Keep your Infor, Epicor, Dynamics or Sage. We sit on top and fill the gaps.
Not a 2D nesting tool (yet). Long products today; plate and sheet are on the roadmap.
Not priced per seat. One price per site. Add as many users as you like.
