Our comprehensive CRM software enables your sales team to focus on what’s really important to their job – improving user experience, building relationships, retaining customers, and attracting new clientele.
RealSTEEL™ comes integrated with an advanced optimization engine that analyzes remnants. This allows for consumption of non-standard lengths while optimizing the material detailed in the sales quote. During the calculation, the optimization engine finds cutting layouts that minimize material waste and operating time.
RealSTEEL™ offers user customization where you enter a minimal amount of information and the system will instantaneously enable defaults for all of the other attributes. Customers can have defaults for every attribute down to the item and variant level, which may include metal specifications like size and grade.
1D and 2D calculators improve optimization. Reviewing the sales line and inventory of remnants, the optimizer determines the best way to yield the smallest amount of scrap or the largest remnant, while keeping your material costs low. In addition, process time is calculated, contributing to streamlined sales and increased margins.
Our burn and cut-to-length calculators use labor rates to assess the cost, process and run times. These calculators provide immediate visibility into the time necessary for each manufacturing process requested by your customers with the ability to share that information on demand.
