And you're walking the floor just to get answers. That doesn't scale. That's why we built Steelhead. Steelhead is the ERP built for you. Quoting, order entry, production tracking, purchasing, shipping, job costing, and invoicing all in one place. From the moment a job comes in, every part has a path. Track it through every cut, bend, and weld in real time. Operators see exactly what to do on the floor. You see the full picture without leaving your desk. Need to release a complex assembly to purchasing and the floor. Done. Cutting stock into smaller pieces with drop tracking built in. Managing sheet stock, tube, rod. Steelhead speaks your language.
