Less scrap
Figures come from customer case studies. The scrap range is deliberately conservative, so you don’t have to assume you’ll match the best result. See the Midland Steel cutting trial (734 tonnes across 193 jobs) and the 10 hours a month saved case study.

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.
One heat number, followed the whole way
The paper trail that builds itself.
Your customers demand proof of what the metal is and where it's been. Today that proof lives in inboxes, PDFs and someone's memory. GoSmarter links every step, so an audit request takes minutes.
Mill cert in
GoSmarter reads the certificate PDF. You can search grade, heat number and test data in seconds. No re-keying, no hunting through inboxes.
Live stock
GoSmarter links every length to its certificate. You see what's free to sell, and what it's certified for, without a walk to the yard.
Cut and made, still traceable
GoSmarter plans cuts against real stock. Every finished piece carries its heat number. EN 10204 audits (the European standard for material test certificates) stop being a scramble.
Cert out, invoice raised
GoSmarter ships the right certificate with the delivery. Nothing holds up the invoice, so you get paid faster.
Built to stand up to an audit
EN 10204 3.1 & 3.2

Instant mill cert verification: confirm grade meets spec before it hits the floor.
End-to-end traceability: heat number to finished piece, ready for any audit.

Explore compliance solutionsHowever 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.
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.
120+ hrs
Admin hours back
Every year, just from not chasing certificates.
Paid faster
Invoices go out on time
Certs never hold up the paperwork.
20–50%
Less scrap
Real money back on every cut, and less cash tied up in stock.
Transparent pricing
One price per site. Unlimited users.
No per-seat fees, no enterprise contracts. Workshop tier and up include AI credits. New customers get a 7-day free trial (50 AI credits, no card required), then 50% off their first paid month. Every plan includes onboarding support, REST API access, and a security one-pager for IT reviews.
From the shop floor
Metals leaders already running smarter.

Why teams choose GoSmarter
Built for the person on the floor.
Anyone on the floor can use it: From the new apprentice to the 30-year veteran. No manual required.
Value from day one: Start on spreadsheets and the admin shrinks straight away.
See the ROI first: Use the free Business Case Calculator and export a PDF for your finance director.
IT gets what it asks for: Open API and MCP, a full audit trail, and your data stays yours.
See why, not just what: Every AI suggestion comes with its reasoning, whether it's a cut sequence or a flagged cert. Planners stay in control of every decision.
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.
Not a fit for everyone. If a past ‘digital transformation’ project burned you, read why some manufacturers trial GoSmarter and don’t proceed before you sign up, not after.
Live in a day.
Audit-ready after that.
Per site. Unlimited users. Start on spreadsheets today. Run the numbers before you spend a penny.
