## What is GoSmarter?

GoSmarter is an artificial intelligence (AI) platform for metals manufacturers — steel stockholders, service centres, fabricators, and distributors. It automates the manual, error-prone tasks that slow down production: reading mill certificates, generating cutting plans, and tracking material inventory.

GoSmarter replaces the spreadsheets, manual data entry, and paper-based processes that most metals businesses still rely on. It works alongside existing systems or as a standalone operations platform — without a 12-month enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation project.

**Products:**

- [Metals Manager](https://www.gosmarter.ai/products/metals-manager/) — real-time inventory management for metals operations, tracking material by grade, size, heat number, and certificate reference
- [MillCert Reader](https://www.gosmarter.ai/products/mill-certificate-reader/) — AI-powered mill certificate data extraction, processing any scanned or digital portable document format (PDF) in under 30 seconds
- [Cutting Plans](https://www.gosmarter.ai/products/cutting-optimiser/) — AI cutting optimisation software that reduces long-product scrap by up to 50%
- [Free Tools](https://www.gosmarter.ai/products/free-tools/) — scrap rate calculators, emissions calculators, and steel grade converters, free with no account required

**Who uses GoSmarter:** Production managers, quality managers, stock controllers, and operations directors at metals businesses with 5–200 staff. Particularly relevant for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but cannot justify a full ERP implementation.

**Proven outcomes:**
- 50% scrap reduction in production trials at Midland Steel
- 120+ hours saved per user per year on mill certificate handling
- Cutting Plans payback period under 4 months at 100 tonnes per week

GoSmarter is based in the UK and serves metals manufacturers across the UK and Europe. It is cloud-based, requires no software installation, and can be trialled free for 14 days.
