  2. Your business, your reference data

    New Feature

    It might sound simple but every metals business has different things they care about and we want to enable tailoring the app to suit your business as simple as possible.

    When you first get a company space on the app, it handily comes with our reference data. This might be good enough for you and you can get started with 0 configuration, but we know you might want to rapidly start customising things.

    Now, we offer a company data section of the app where you can configure things. Our first area of configuration is inventory materials and types.

    To customise what you and your colleagues can use, you can get started in three ways.

    1. Import our reference data - great for if you've already been using it for a while
    2. Start from scratch - great if you only have a few values and want to enter them manually
    3. Import from CSV - starting with our template (which gives you all the reference data) you can take your existing list from elsewhere and use it as the config instantly on GoSmarter

    So whether zero-config is good for you or you want to make GoSmarter feel bespoke to your business, you now can have it your way.

  3. From inventory to lineage

    New Feature

    We've had the ability to use AI to extract steel mill certificate data for a while now. We know how important it can be to get the information from these material certificates associated to your inventory. It helps you better pick stock for processes like welding and helps you provide product lineage documentation to your customers.

    Now when we have a match between inventory and mill certificates based on heat codes, you can easily navigate between the two areas to get the info you need.

  4. Track your scrap

    New Feature

    Scrap is often put in a bin and forgotten about until the bin is overflowing. However, good tracking of it helps you understand which of your processes have th emost associated waste. With GoSmarter you now have two ways of tracking scrap depending on your needs.

    1. Track scrap in inventory - this allows you to keep product lineage and info like supplier if you keep scrap well seperated. This is excellent when you want to be able to perform detailed analysis against orders etc. longer term.
    2. Track batches of scrap - if you have dedicated bins that all scrap gets put into you can use our scrap logger to track scrap by weight change. This helps you analyse it at a high level and minimises admin.

  5. Manage your network

    New Feature

    With the Organisations tab you can now keep track of your suppliers, customers, and other key organisations. Managing this list allows you to track your inventory by suppliers and your orders by customer.

    From within the Organisation tab, in the actions for the organisation you can navigate to the filtered lists of stock and orders.

  6. Quick emissions insights

    New Feature

    Especially with CBAM around the corner, you might need to understand the likely carbon emissions associated with some of your steel orders. This emissions calculator allows you to take benchmarks from key sources and get robust estimates.

    Use the download and/or share feature to store the results for any citations you need to make.

  7. Definitive calculations

    New Feature

    It can be tough to be consistent about what your scrap rate is inside your metals manufacturing business and what it's costing you. Our scrap calculator is an easy-to-use, consistent source for your business.

    With the ability to set a target scrap rate you can get an an indication of how much you could spend to reduce the rate and break even quickly.
