Stop Losing Stuff
GoSmarter's Metals Manager gives metals manufacturers real-time stock visibility. Track steel, link certificates, and stop guessing what's in the yard.
- Real-Time Stock Visibility — Know exactly what's in every rack, bay, and corner of your yard. No more walking the floor to count bars.
- Certificate-Linked Stock — Mill cert data flows straight into inventory records. Every item has its paperwork. Every time.
- Supplier Management — Track deliveries, manage suppliers, and draw down stock as it's used. One place for all of it.
Give Your Team Better Tools
Your team wants to build things, not push paper. They hate the Excel sheets as much as you do. Give them software that works.
Kill the PDF Nightmare
MillCert Reader reads any mill certificate and pulls the data automatically. Saves 120+ hours a year. Works with any quality management system or ERP.
- AI-Powered Extraction — Upload any mill certificate — scanned paper or digital PDF — and our AI pulls every heat number, grade, and property automatically.
- 120+ Hours Saved per Year — One production manager saved over 120 hours annually. That's three full working weeks spent NOT typing into spreadsheets.
- Bulk PDF Renaming — Get heat-code-named PDFs in bulk. Send exactly the right cert with every order. No more hunting through a folder of "cert1.pdf".
AI That Actually Works
Forget the buzzwords. We just automate the boring stuff so you can go home on time. Stop doing compliance by hand.
Cut Metal, Not Profit
Cutting Plans reads your stock and orders, runs the maths, and cuts scrap by 50%. Works with any enterprise resource planning (ERP) system or CSV file. Covers rebar, bar, and structural sections.
- 50% Scrap Reduction — Proven in real-world trials at Midland Steel. Stop burning raw material because someone eyeballed it.
- Minutes, Not Hours — Turn a morning's worth of planning into a five-minute review. Then get back to actually running your shop.
- Adjust and Replan Instantly — Think you know better? Override any cut. Replan in seconds. We won't take it personally.
