Richmond, VA – Triple-S Steel, a steel service center headquartered in Houston, TX, has implemented the INVEX metal enterprise software, at their five Mid-Atlantic locations. INVEX is the cloud-based metal service center software from Invera that is e-commerce enabled.
Triple-S Steel implemented at the locations formerly known as BMG Metals, a full complement of INVEX enterprise (ERP) software features, including inventory management, quote and order entry, online price book, steel purchasing, shop-floor mobile functions, job scheduling, and online shipment planning.
INVEX addressed the unique challenges at Triple-S, where the multiple warehouse locations operate in a hub-and-spoke fulfillment model, where orders can be rapidly transferred and fulfilled by the Triple-S location that is closer to the customer. The sales team can now enter Quotes and Orders, where each item can potentially be sourced from different warehouse locations, and all transfer requirements appear online for the transport load planning team to facilitate that fulfillment.
We were able to quickly deploy the INVEX software that fits very well with our metal service center operations, that is fast and easy to use. Our warehouses now fully operate on mobile, tablet, or desktop devices for rapid fulfillment.
– Mike Livergood, Quality Control at Triple-S Steel
In Sales, quotes and orders can now be quickly entered in INVEX for as-is stock pulls or saw cutting orders, using fields and screens all that are fully optimized for selling and pricing metal products.
The Sales team also benefit from the Order Status Desktop, which shows a comprehensive status of the customer’s order at a single glance. The Sales Department can see the order’s status from the moment the order is received, including all steps to pull and process the order, as well as the shipment planning and subsequent final shipment to the customer.
For the warehouse, the online Shipping Planning function provides a comprehensive, multi-layer inquiry that summarizes orders by customer, delivery route, or delivery zone for better load consolidation. Mill Test Reports, if required, are printed and/or emailed to the customer the moment the item ships.
Triple-S also utilized the flexible and powerful toolbox to extend the use and functionality of INVEX to customize multiple business documents and add their own customer-specific fields to the screens. These features, to address their unique business requirements, were performed by the INVEX Certified Partner Star Software.
