RealSTEEL builds on Microsoft’s unified Dynamics 365 Business Central platform to manage the complex inventory attributes and multi-stage processing requirements of today’s metals industry. Delivering relevant data to managers and operators through dashboards and machine-based displays, RealSTEEL gives you complete insight and control as orders move through production.

Designed for multi-step processing

As your organization moves beyond basic services like slitting, cutting, and burning, the matrix of complexity builds quickly. RealSTEEL coordinates the specialized inventory, machine and labor requirements to connect and streamline quoting, inventory, scheduling…everything. Track materials and inventory flow across multiple processes, sub-assemblies and assemblies.

Available on-prem or in the cloud, RealSTEEL takes full advantage of Dynamics 365 Business Central by connecting operations to optimize all of the variables—as well as the complex attributes of metal inventory—from order entry through the production process automatically.
