GoSmarter AI for Metals Manufacturers

AI That Knows What a Heat Number Is

Most AI tools were built by people who have never set foot on a shop floor. GoSmarter was built by a team that spent years working with metals manufacturers — watching them re-type data from PDFs, hunt for certificates at 4pm on a Friday, and run cutting schedules in Excel.

GoSmarter is AI built for that reality. It handles the tasks that eat your time without adding business value, so your team can focus on the work that actually matters.

The Problems GoSmarter Solves for Manufacturers

Manual mill certificate processing

Your team spends hours every week extracting data from mill certificates — heat numbers, material grades, mechanical properties, dimensions. GoSmarter’s MillCert Reader does that in seconds, automatically, from any PDF or scanned document.

Cutting waste and scrap

Every offcut that goes in the skip is money you cannot recover. GoSmarter’s Cutting Optimiser calculates the most efficient cutting pattern for your orders, reducing material waste and keeping your scrap rates in check.

Inventory blind spots

Do you know exactly what stock you have, where it is, and which certificates are linked to it — right now? GoSmarter’s Inventory Management keeps a live picture of your stock with full certificate traceability, so you stop searching and start shipping.

Who GoSmarter Is Built For

GoSmarter is designed for the people doing the actual work in metals manufacturing:

  • Production managers who need to schedule orders without spending half their day in spreadsheets
  • Operations teams who deal with material traceability and customer certificate requests
  • Quality engineers who need to confirm material grades against customer specifications quickly and accurately
  • Sales and estimating teams who need to check stock availability and cut requirements without calling the warehouse

It is not built for IT departments or enterprise procurement teams. It is built for the people whose names are on the job tickets.

GoSmarter Works With Your Existing Systems

You do not need to replace your ERP. You do not need a multi-month implementation project. GoSmarter connects to your existing workflows and adds intelligence on top of what you already have.

Most customers are up and running within a week. No consultants, no change management programme, no “big bang” go-live.
