ERP Software for Steel Industry
About the Industry
Steel manufacturing is a complex, asset-intensive industry involving large-scale production processes, continuous operations, strict quality standards, and heavy material movement. Manufacturers produce steel coils, sheets, pipes, tubes, structural sections, and customized fabricated products for construction, automotive, oil & gas, and industrial applications.
Production involves multiple stages such as billet casting, reheating, rolling, slitting, forming, welding, annealing, galvanizing, coating, finishing, and dispatch. Managing raw material procurement, furnace operations, rolling mill scheduling, yield control, scrap recovery, and quality compliance is critical to profitability.
Manual tracking or disconnected systems often result in production delays, incorrect material consumption, uncontrolled scrap, poor lot traceability, and inaccurate costing.
eresource Xcel ERP is purpose-built to support steel manufacturers by integrating production, material planning, job or lot manufacturing, inventory, quality, costing, and financial operations within one unified system.
The platform supports manufacturers of steel coils, sheets, pipes, tubes, rolled products, fabricated sections, and specialized steel components, providing full visibility across production, inventory, and dispatch operations.
With real-time operational intelligence and automated workflows, eresource Xcel ERP helps steel manufacturers reduce waste, improve yield, optimize plant utilization, and enhance profitability.
Why Choose eresource Xcel ERP for Steel Manufacturing?
