Steelhead is the all-in-one job shop and manufacturing ERP that enables you to move parts, not paper. Steel unlocks six key outcomes for you and your business. Number one is visibility. Number two is profit and efficiency. Number three is control and traceability. Number four is data-driven insight. Number five is exceptional customer service. And number six is freedom.
Number one is visibility. Visibility unlocks every other outcome that you're looking for when you switch to an all-in-one ERP with a digital plant floor. When your shop lacks visibility, you, your management team, your operators, even your customers are constantly asking a very simple question in one way or another. Where are the parts and what is the status? When every single person inside your business and even outside your business knows the answer to that question in real time, they have all the information they need relative to that order, it unlocks a tremendous amount of power and efficiency for your business.
Number two is profit and efficiency. So here we want to take all of our non-value ad costs in our business and drive as close to zero as possible. Also, we want to look at every single customer, every single job and make sure that there's a healthy profit profile associated with that. We want to make sure we're doing the work that best aligns with our capabilities so we can take that profit and invest it in growth of our business, invest in our employees, our customers, and equipment.
Number three is control and traceability. Control and traceability allows us to not only track the rework issues we have but also prevent them from happening in the first place.
Number four is data-driven insight. This is all about making better decisions faster. Whether impacts rework, whether impacts our general business, how is our business doing in different lines very importantly margins.
Number five is my favorite, exceptional customer service. I was just at a shop in Toronto yesterday, and I was speaking with a lady named Kathy who had 300 emails and it was 12:30. It was lunchtime. This is not only a drag on uh their business because they need to spend the time corresponding with customers, it's also a drag on the customer experience. We've all become used to having instant access to information and especially when we send our parts or we're waiting on our order whether it's a pizza or anything else. We think that in job shops and manufacturing it should be no different. So, at Seud, we're incredibly excited about our customer portal, which allows your customer to have instant access to a great digital experience where they can see all the orders and all the information they need in real time. This includes historical documents like quotes, shipping, certifications, invoicing, uh, but also live part status. Not only will it save you time and money, but your customers are going to thank you and stay with you for life.
Number six, and finally, is freedom. So, if you're a smaller shop, oftentimes you're the owner. You're involved directly in the business. And if you're like Dan from Wisconsin, this means you are coming in personally on Saturdays to invoice, taking a stack of papers, cranking into QuickBooks. Freedom is one of the things you lose when you're running your business on a bunch of inefficient systems that just don't get the job done. This causes you to spend time chasing papers, sitting on phone calls with customers that could be, you know, automated away, or chasing down parts or answering questions that you've answered a thousand times over.
