The vision of Steelhead Technologies is to elevate Job Shop Manufacturing in the United States of America to increase its Global competitiveness my name is Jeff Halonen and I am the CEO and one of the co-founders of Steelhead Technologies what the student platform is seeking to deliver to the industry is enhanced capability in every business and production process through digitization Automation and optimization so this is going to streamline operations increase profitability
provide better lead times essentially this critical sector of our society and Manufacturing base they serve everything we touch and drive and feel and buy on a regular basis whether it's an automobile a washing machine a computer typically any device that you're buying goes through a job shop at some point and when we can take this critical sector of manufacturing and increase their productivity and their ability to serve Society we have a dramatic impact on the entire industrial base United States
of America so Steelhead Technologies entered a space that's been around for a long time the processing Job Shop industry there is nothing new about the industry still isn't bringing a technology that has never existed but see how it's doing is really an intensive focus on a sector of manufacturing group that we believe has been significantly underserved and we've taken a unique approach in a number of different ways first starting with a product our product is designed to be extremely intuitive and
easy to use but we like to call very low tool friction and that goes all the way down to the operator level so that hourly employee that maybe only comes in three days a week that was hired three days ago and has to do that really critical task we want them to not only have the information they need but we want them to participate in the digital manufacturing experience because that unlocks an immense amount of data for the Enterprise secondly student Technologies has very early on in our journey
encountered a lot of situations where shops had very bad software launches sometimes they would pay a lot of money up front sometimes they would work on it for 6 8 12 18 months and then they would pull the plug on it yeah they'd go back to their old systems so Stewart has a very unique approach to this where we charge little or no money down up front no long-term commitments and we also like to deploy lightning fast so depending on the size of your Enterprise how ready you are and how much time
you have to commit it can be as little as two to four weeks to launch your manufacturing plant on Steelhead Technologies but steelhead is ultimately in the business of Partnerships we are not in the business of providing the software and a system and walking away we have usa-based customer success and employment resources that are there we're talking cell phone numbers emails call anytime and we'd like to get you up and running as fast as possible but not stopping there constantly training constantly
increasing we might get five parts your business up and running on on the platform and we'll be focused on that sixth and seventh as you have times we're continually growing and looking for opportunity to deliver value to your business the number one priority of Steelhead Technologies is customer service while we like to bring the best technology possible to world we ultimately are here to serve our customers and to elevate their capability in their production and to alleviate the headaches and the
pain that they feel on everyday basis and to make their plants and their businesses more productive and improve the lives of their employees
