How fast can your team turn around a quote?

At Exactatherm, many quotes now go out in less than a day.

Even more complex quotes, where the team needs time to review specifications and requirements, are typically turned around in two to three days.

Faster quoting means faster answers for customers and more opportunities to keep work moving.

What happens when better scheduling starts showing up in the numbers?

At Veterans Metal, on-time delivery went from around 50% to consistently above 95%.

At the same time, average days in-house dropped from 16 days to about 3.5.

Better visibility and scheduling helped the team get ahead of a 40-work-order backlog and keep work moving faster through the shop.

Mid-County Fabricating in Jordan, Minnesota is bringing better job costing data and AI-powered workflows into its operation.

With Steelhead, the team is looking forward to collecting the job costing data they need to better understand how work is performing across the shop.

They’re also getting started with Steelhead’s growing suite of AI tools, including AI Order Entry, AI Receiving, AI Vendor Quotes, and Sonar for quick access to the data and insights they need.

Better costing data. Less manual entry. Faster access to information.

We’re excited to partner with the Mid-County team as they continue building a more connected operation.

Welcome to Steelhead, Mid-County Fabricating!

How do you roll out a new process without losing the floor?

At Powder Coating Technologies, Adam Swift tests every new process himself before he brings it to the team. Then he asks the people who've been doing the work for decades what they think.

"Getting their input upfront gives them a personal stake in the game, and they want to see their ideas realized as well."

It's the same rule he and Chad brought from the Army: never ask the crew to do something you wouldn't do yourself. Last weekend, that meant sanding on the floor with the team.

Hear the full conversation with Adam and Dean on the latest Shop Talk:

Test it first. Ask the floor. Then roll it out.

Every decision you make has an impact on your culture.

As Andrew Kossowski puts it, decisions aren't neutral. The choices owners, leadership teams, and employees make every day either strengthen the culture you're building or weaken it.

Recognizing that responsibility is part of creating a company people want to be part of.

Hear more from Andrew on building a winning culture at Veterans Metal.

Industrial Metal Finishing in Placentia, California is replacing an outdated ERP and paper-heavy processes with a more connected operation.

Before Steelhead, information had to be entered multiple times across quoting, receiving, shipping, certification, and invoicing, with limited visibility into what was happening on the production floor.

With Steelhead, IMF has already gained better production visibility, reduced duplicate order entry, and started seeing major time savings on the back end.

One example: certifying a two-line-item job previously took about 2 hours and 20 minutes. During deployment, a 15-line-item job was certified in Steelhead in less than 10 minutes.

Less paper. Less double entry. Faster access to the information the team needs to keep work moving.

We're excited to partner with Industrial Metal Finishing as they continue modernizing their operation.

Welcome to Steelhead, IMF!

How much time is lost when the same work has to move through multiple systems?

At Metalex, invoicing used to mean setting aside at least two to two and a half hours to get invoices completed and jobs out the door.

By bringing more of that work into one system with Steelhead, the team has reduced duplicated effort and can complete the process in a much shorter timeframe.

Less duplication. Less time spent moving information between systems.

DECO in Indianapolis, Indiana is bringing more control and consistency to its liquid coating operation.

The team dove into Steelhead throughout deployment and built a strong understanding of the system, giving them the confidence to train additional employees and continue expanding how they use it across the shop.

Two areas they're especially excited about are inventory management and quality control.

With Steelhead, DECO can gain better visibility into inventory while building detailed quality checks directly into production. Operators are required to complete the appropriate visual inspections and specifications before parts can move forward through the workboards, helping the team catch issues earlier and maintain consistent quality.

We're excited to partner with the DECO team as they continue building a more connected and controlled operation.

Welcome to Steelhead, DECO!

What changes when customers can see where their parts are without having to call?

At Exactatherm, the Steelhead Customer Portal gives customers direct visibility into where their jobs are in the process, from entry through production and quality.

For Vraj Shah, that visibility is about more than convenience. It builds trust by giving customers a clearer view of what’s happening with their work.

See how Exactatherm is using Steelhead to improve traceability and customer communication.
