Going Paperless with Steelhead's Industrial Coatings ERP

A Thermal Spray Provider faced several challenges in their operations: 

  • Manual Processes: Before Steelhead, many of their processes, including quoting, invoicing, and quality management, were manual and time-consuming. 
  • Quality Control: They lacked effective tools to track and manage quality issues, resulting in many parts being put on hold due to quality concerns. 
  • Tracking & Communication: The real-time tracking of parts in the shop and communication to administrative staff for internal and external updates wasted time.

With Steelhead, they were able to automate the cert process, savings three days of work. They also have an integrated QMS to stay on top of quality management.

"Steelhead helps us identify and address quality issues proactively with integrated QMS. Our cert management went from three whole days to just a few minutes! We're loving it."
