How It Works

Stop guessing how to cut your long products. We take your orders and your stock, run the math, and give you a cut list that minimises scrap.

Take the plan, adjust it if you think you know better (we won’t be offended), and send it to the saw. It turns a tedious morning job into a five-minute 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.
