Metals ERP solution for wire and cable companies
The stakes are too high for wire and cable companies to be guessing.
You are trusted with the essential task of upholding strong industry standards and delivering quality products. You understand the importance of doing it right.
Whether you’re establishing a consistent process to cut a wire accurately every time, or finding out the exact materials within a cable you produced, you need solid answers – and fast.
Crowe has built an end-to-end metals enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution in Microsoft Dynamics 365™ for wire and cable companies – the Crowe Metals Accelerator.
Now you can automate and standardize your processes at every location, and get the insights you need to make informed decisions.
Here’s how one wire manufacturer retained more customers.
A growing wire manufacturer needed to replace manual processes with automated ones and get better visibility into the business.
This manufacturer chose Crowe Metals Accelerator for wire and cable companies to get the big-picture analysis they needed – and the ability to automate tasks like label generation, order entry, and returns, so they could offer better service to their customers.
Wire and cable companies need more features than a standard ERP system can offer.
That’s why Crowe has built a tailored end-to-end solution in Microsoft Dynamics 365™ for wire and cable companies called Crowe Metals Accelerator.
Instead of losing valuable time figuring out how to use your ERP for things like drum management and metal valuation, you can start realizing the benefits of your new system right away.
From coating and pickling to drawing, stranding, annealing, and extruding, our metals manufacturing software has you covered.
Take control of your inventory
Easily manage wire lengths, drums, colors, and put-ups – alongside customer-specific requirements.
Manage price volatility
Stay ahead of fluctuating copper or aluminum prices across indexes like LME, CME Group, and others, and easily apply changes across multiple sales and purchase orders.
Stay on top of what’s happening on the shop floor
Confidently oversee production planning, sequencing, and execution – including calculating spool capacity and feet per minute based on resource, grade, and diameter.
Built for the unique demands of wire and cable companies.
Our decades of experience in the metals industry have enabled us to craft a solution built specifically for wire and cable companies.
Length tolerances management
Manage length-based inventory and cutting operations with predefined tolerance codes.
