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 burns cash. It delays production, shipping and payment too.

  • Managers hunting for cert data that should already be on their screen.

  • Production staff fighting with mill certs instead of running machines.

  • Detailers squinting at blurry PDFs from 2015.

  • Compliance managers drowning in paper 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 compliance stops being a scramble.

  1. 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.

  2. Live stock

    GoSmarter links every length to its certificate. You see what's genuinely free to sell, and what it's certified for, without a walk to the yard.

  3. Cut and made, still traceable

    GoSmarter plans cuts against real stock. Every finished piece carries its heat number. EN 10204 (the European standard for material test certificates) audits become routine as a result. You cut less offcut too, typically 20–50% less.

  4. Cert out, invoice raised

    GoSmarter ships the right certificate with the delivery. Nothing holds up the invoice, so you get paid faster.

Built for metal fabricators

Your raw material is money. Chasing certs holds up the job.

Whether you're a fabricator, a stockholder or a service centre, the admin looks different but the pain is the same. GoSmarter kills the drudge work and gives your people their time back.

Instant mill cert verification: confirm grade meets spec before it hits the floor.

End-to-end traceability: heat number to finished piece. EN 10204 audits go routine.

Live stock, cert-linked: know what's genuinely free to sell without a yard walk.

AI cutting plans: 20–50% less offcut on long products, every piece traceable.

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.
