How Crowe helped a global pipe and tube company delight their customers with quality and accuracy.
As a company producing welded and drawn-over mandrel carbon steel tubing, this global company needed to increase market share and strengthen existing customer relationships.
To do this, they needed a metals-specific enterprise resource planning system (ERP) to help them provide high-quality material and meet customers' unique requirements – all at a low cost and on time.
You need more than a standard ERP system
When you’re working with things like the rigidity properties of pipes or tube measurements ordered by wall thickness, you need the functionality for your unique needs and your customers’ specific requirements. Things like custom order entry, coil slitting, tube welding, secondary processing, or quality testing – there’s a metals ERP solution for you.
Simplify tricky coil slitting processes
Optimize coil slitting by maximizing your material use and automation – removing frustrating and complex manual calculations.
Enhance material inventory and customer billing
Seamlessly manage multiple units of measurement for optimal inventory tracking and customer billing by accurate weight of each tube.
Deliver heat traceability with confidence
Automate and track heat properties throughout the entire production process, generating a certificate of analysis for customers.
ERP built for the unique demands of pipe and tube companies.
Our decades of experience in the metals industry have enabled us to craft an ERP solution built specifically for pipe and tube companies.
