ERP Built for Iron & Steel Companies
Across Melting, Rolling
& Dispatch
Run the entire steel operation — from scrap to dispatch — in one connected system.
One Connected Iron & Steel Operations System
Scrap procurement, heat creation, rolling schedules, finished goods, dispatch, billing, costing, and receivables stay connected in one operational workflow. The Iron & Steel ERP buyer’s guide ›
Every heat tracked from scrap inward through casting, rolling, finished goods, and dispatch to the customer invoice.
Input vs output weight recorded at every stage — melting yield, rolling yield, and scale loss automatically calculated.
Per-heat cost built from actual scrap, energy, and conversion. Per-MT margin visible at every sale — no standard-cost estimates.
Order fulfilment status, pending dispatches, outstanding receivables, and customer-wise collections — in one connected view.
Why generic ERP falls short
for Iron & Steel companies.
Iron & Steel businesses run on heat numbers, weight reconciliation at every stage, shift-wise rolling schedules, and per-heat costing. A generic ERP handles none of this without significant customisation.
Production recorded as bulk quantities. No heat number connects scrap input to finished bar or coil. When a quality complaint arrives, tracing back to the source heat is impossible.
Scrap goes in, finished product comes out at lower weight. Scale loss, rolling loss, and melting loss are not recorded — costing is based on estimates, not actual yield.
Production runs shift-by-shift. No real-time view of grade and size being produced — leading to wrong order commitments and missed delivery dates.
Scrap yard, billet stock, and finished goods are in different locations with no unified view. Double-booking and stock discrepancies are routine.
Per-MT cost changes with every heat — scrap grade, energy, rolling yield. Without heat-linked costing, margins are estimated rather than calculated.
Order fulfilment tracked in registers. Which stock is allocated to which order, project, or dealer is unclear — last-minute shortfalls and customer disputes follow.
Built around how the Iron & Steel business actually operates.
Heat tracking, weight reconciliation, rolling planning, multi-location inventory, production-linked costing, and dispatch management are not add-ons — they are how exactllyERP works for Iron & Steel companies.

One connected flow — from scrap procurement
to finished goods dispatch and billing.
Every stage in the steel production lifecycle connected in one system — scrap inward creates the procurement record, heat creation begins at melting, rolling links to the heat, and finished goods flow through to dispatch and billing. No manual handoffs. No data re-entry between stages.
Grade-wise procurement records linked to heat input for costing and quality tracking.
Every heat traceable from scrap input through casting, rolling, and dispatch to customer.
Input vs output weight per stage — melting yield, rolling yield, and scale loss all recorded.
Shift-wise rolling plan aligned with pending orders and finished goods requirements.
Size-wise and grade-wise finished goods tracked across yard and warehouse locations.
Per-MT cost built from scrap, energy, and conversion cost for each heat individually.
Every function your Iron & Steel business
needs, in one connected system.
Scrap procurement, heat tracking, weight reconciliation, production planning, rolling scheduling, multi-location inventory, costing, and dispatch — each built around the actual steel business workflow.
Heat number assigned at melting, carried through all rolling stages. Full forward and backward trace from scrap input to dispatch.
Scrap input, cast output, and rolling yield tracked per heat. Scale loss and conversion loss calculated automatically at each stage.
Shift-wise production plan with grade, size, and tonnage. Planned vs actual tracked in real time across rolling mills.
Scrap yard, billet stock, and finished goods tracked separately across locations, grades, and sizes. Committed vs available always visible.
Per-heat cost from scrap, energy, and conversion. Per-MT margin visible at every sale — no standard-cost assumptions.
Order allocation to stock, partial fulfilment tracking, project-wise and dealer-wise dispatch records — all in system.
How Iron & Steel companies use exactllyERP
to run day-to-day operations.
Heat complaints, dispatch conflicts, margin queries, stock allocation — situations that come up every week. exactllyERP handles each without manual reconciliation.
Customer reports surface defects on TMT bars received last week. Which heat was it? Were other customers supplied from the same heat?
Accounts team suspects rolling yield figures from production are overstated. They want to verify input vs output weights for the week.
Customer places a 200 MT order for 8mm TMT. Sales team needs to know when it can be committed — from current billet stock or a new heat.
Two customers want the same grade and size from the same stock lot. Dispatch team is unsure which is allocated to which order.
Management wants actual margins on 12mm TMT sold last quarter — based on real production cost, not estimates.
A contractor needs structural sections delivered over 8 weeks. Dispatch team needs to track what has gone, what is pending, and what stock is reserved.

The metrics your management team needs to monitor — live from operations, not assembled from spreadsheets at end of week.
Melting and rolling yield per heat versus standard — flag underperforming heats before the shift ends.
Scale loss and conversion loss tracked per heat and per rolling campaign. Trend vs previous period visible at a glance.
Finished goods by grade, size, and location. Committed vs available visible so dispatch can be planned without guessing.
Orders due for dispatch with ageing. Overdue customers and pending quantities visible without chasing the dispatch team.
Customer-wise outstanding with ageing buckets. Overdue collections highlighted for follow-up before cash flow is impacted.
Selling price vs production cost per MT by grade, customer, and period — from actual heat costs, not estimates.
Open customer complaints with heat linkage. Root cause traceable to the specific heat and rolling campaign.
Shift-wise and day-wise production output versus rolling programme targets — by grade, size, and mill.
Each Iron & Steel team gets the controls they need.
Every team in a steel plant works differently. exactllyERP gives each role the right view, controls, and information — without requiring everyone to navigate the same screen.
Enter heat records, rolling programme actuals, shift output, and machine downtime. Production-linked data flows directly to costing and inventory without re-entry.
Manage scrap inward, weighbridge records, grade-wise yard stock, billet transfers, and finished goods receipts from the rolling mill into the FG yard.
Allocate stock to pending orders, generate dispatch challans, record actual dispatch weight, and track order-wise fulfilment balance — without double-booking from system.
Manage payables from scrap procurement, invoice customers from dispatch records, track receivables, reconcile bank, and review per-heat production cost vs margin.
Record heat-wise test results, flag sub-standard heats, manage customer complaints with heat traceability, and issue mill test certificates linked to the dispatch.
Live dashboards for heat yield, rolling loss, FG stock, pending dispatches, receivables, and per-MT margin — across all plants and locations, without waiting for reports.
Ask your Iron & Steel business questions in plain language.
Your ERP holds all the data — heat records, weight reconciliation, production targets, inventory position, outstanding orders. The AI Copilot lets you ask questions the way you would ask a colleague and get the answer immediately.

Why Iron & Steel companies need more than a standard ERP.
Generic ERP is built for manufacturing and trade. Iron & Steel companies need heat-level tracking, stage-wise weight reconciliation, rolling schedule management, production-linked costing, and project/dealer dispatch control — none of which a standard system handles natively without costly customisation.
