GoSmarter for Inventory Management
Gain full visibility of your materials for higher margins
Know exactly what stock you have, where it is, and what it is committed to — without a manual stock count or a spreadsheet that's already out of date.
Key Capabilities
Real-Time Stock Visibility
Know exactly what material you have on hand, including location and status — without walking the yard to count it.
Material Tracking
Follow material from goods-in to despatch with no gaps in the trail. Every movement logged, every location recorded.
Commitment Management
See what stock is allocated to live orders so you know what is genuinely available for new work.
Reorder Alerts
Get notified when stock falls below defined thresholds before it becomes a production stoppage.
The Opportunity
If you don’t know what metal you have, you’re losing money. It’s that simple.
- Inventory Manager: Know exactly what’s on the rack right now, by grade, size, and quantity available versus committed.
- Scrap Logger: Track what you bin so you can stop binning it.
- Offcut Manager: Stop buying new steel when you have perfectly good offcuts sitting in the corner. GoSmarter tracks remnants from previous cuts as live stock, so your planners use them before reaching for new material.
- Cert-linked stock: If you use
MillCert Reader
, every stock item carries its full certificate history: grade, heat number, and mechanical properties. GoSmarter links each cert automatically when you receive the material. No manual entry. No missing paperwork.
Cut the Scrap
Errors cost money. Scrap costs money. We help you stop making both. Use tools built for the shop floor, not the boardroom.
Why GoSmarter
Stop running around the yard looking for steel.
- Real-Time Visibility: Know what you have without walking out to count it. Whether you hold coil, plate, bar, or tube, GoSmarter tracks every item by form, size, grade, and quantity available across multiple grades and dimensions.
- No more stockouts: Customers who track live inventory commitments typically cut emergency procurement by 30–40%. Stop paying premium prices for material you thought you had. It was committed to a job that shipped last week.
- Save Time: Focus on getting orders out, not chasing stock. Accurate stock visibility means accurate delivery promises. When sales quotes are based on what is genuinely available and not what the system said last Tuesday, on-time delivery stops being a lottery.
- Connects to your existing systems: Export stock data to your ERP or accounting software via CSV or API. Many customers run GoSmarter as their live production-floor view while the ERP handles invoicing. GoSmarter’s inventory data is more current and more granular than what the ERP typically tracks.
What is the payback for your operation?
Customers typically recover the annual subscription cost in reduced scrap and saved admin time within the first quarter. The free Business Case Calculator puts real pounds-and-pence projections behind every GoSmarter solution: scrap rate savings, staff hours recovered, emergency procurement avoided.
