Inventory management

Keep track of all your stock with ease

If you’re a small business, you might be tired of error-prone inventory spreadsheets or over-priced and over-tooled ERPs to track your business.

Our easy, light tooling can help you manage your suppliers, your stock, and your orders. With the ability to draw down stock, bulk manage, and get your stock’s product lineage from certificates, we make it easy for you to focus on your business.

Our intuitive inventory tool is a great launchpad for any business and can be used standalone, in conjunction with your other systems, or as a starting point for more advanced uses of tech to save your business time.

To get started today, you need:

  • Start adding stock or
  • An inventory spreadsheet

You can easily add items into your inventory by hand or if you’ve got an extract from somewhere else, you can easily upload it to populate your inventory for your team. They can then start using it immediately.

Long Product Production Planning

Save time and waste with starter production plans for your cutting machines

We help you shortcut the start of your day by building you a plan for cutting long products. Taking your open orders and available stock, we work out an efficient plan that keeps scrap rates low. You can grab the plan and amend it with your expertise, turning it from a time-intensive exercise into a quick review.

The production planner works for all long products, although it is well-tested in the rebar space. We tested with Midland Steel and were able to reduce scrap rates by 50%.

What’s needed to trial this product today:

  • An inventory spreadsheet
  • An orders spreadsheet

That’s it! You can upload both of these into our inventory and order management tools and then go hit that “Plan” button. A few minutes later, you’ll be able to download your plan and see key details about how much scrap and offcuts you’d end up with.

Compliant Steel - Mill certificates

Save time on product lineage for customers and picking inventory by putting material data with your inventory data

Getting mill and material certificates from loads of different portals and emails, writing up the data, and using it to ensure tasks like welding are done with the correct stock, or to provide the right certificates to your customers can be a pain.

We saved a production manager more than 120 hours a year, just by them being able to get bulk mill certificates converted into single page PDFs for each heat code, enabling them to send on just the right certificates with every order.

We work with every customer of our mill certificate AI product and many of the world’s largest steel mills to be able to accurately turn your paper-scans or digital copies of mill certificates into actionable data.

All you need to get started is:

  • A mill certificate

You can simply login, upload the file, and get your data and renamed PDFs. Instant benefits with no complex configuration or model training.
