The ability to offer value added services, the best pricing, a large selection of made to order and inventoried products, and the best service, are trade marks of your business then Steelman Software Solutions’ STEEL ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS® (SEMS®) software meets all the requirements for a new computer system that will allow Your Company to build success.

Your staff gains an efficient set of tools for increasing sales/revenue, with SEMS’ up-to-date real time customer and inventory history. More accurate pricing and costing, based on information gathered from a full and readily accessible historical database, leads to more wins.  SEMS’s “Cost Plus” pricing design and the SEMS costing system will help your company achieve more accurate sales profits, and close more orders on-line, than the present system. Your sales team will improve their performance and increase their productivity and profits on each order by using the SEMS system, which includes Quick Quote entry screens, and historical information forms that show past margins, quotes, wins/losses, pricing and costs.

Your company’s inventory valuation benefits from the accurate materials costs that arise from using an attribute-based inventory control system. Processing WIP costing mechanisms properly record scrap costs for drops (remnants) during processing or fabrication of orders. Your company’s staff gains a valuable and accurate view of all product profiles across the entire enterprise. Management gains the ability to review historical periods and see stock positions and sales history at any given point in time. This allows your company to develop better business plans and make better, more informed decisions when budgeting or forecasting business plans. The management reporting system is easy to use. Your staff can design custom reports using award-winning Oracle’s Discoverer Business Intelligence tools which deploy the right information, to the right employees, at the right time. This allows each person and department in the company to collaborate on making quality decisions and improving efficiencies due to better process work flows. In a nut shell, more orders are processed, at the right cost and price. When you meet your customers’ objectives of the right quality product, at the right price, processed and shipped on time, you are ensured a happy and long term customer relationship. With SEMS to help productivity improvements, your company can continue to meet its annual goals and business objectives.

SEMS’s Processing and (NEW) Fabrication modules, coupled with Quality Management and an outstanding Claims Management system, further enhance your bottom line by saving costs at receiving, processing and shipping time. A test reporting system integrated with both the Customer Claim and Vendor Claim functions can be tied into Corrective Actions Reporting in the Quality module.
