Comprehensive workshop software for Steelhead Technologies production plants, Business News

United States – June 1, 2024 —

Steelhead Technologies, a leading innovator in shop floor software, announces a groundbreaking upgrade to its comprehensive platform with the introduction of advanced manufacturing management features. This update enables manufacturers to easily tackle larger projects, alleviating stress and eliminating the hassle of finding parts during production.

Gone are the days of inefficient work of the production floor and interruptions in production. With Steelhead’s digital multi-level bill of materials (BOM) model in production, manufacturers can now ensure that weldments and assemblies have all the necessary inputs before starting. From raw materials to intermediate parts and subassemblies, every component is considered, streamlining the manufacturing process and maximizing efficiency.

“Our goal is to equip job shop manufacturers with the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive landscape,” said Mark Halonen, chief technology officer at Steelhead Technologies. “With our enhanced manufacturing management capabilities, we enable manufacturers to confidently complete more complex projects while reducing administrative burdens and improving overall productivity.”

In addition to production management, Steelhead’s comprehensive platform includes a wide range of functionalities including quoting, sales orders, outsourcing, inventory management, quality management system (QMS), scheduling, shipping, invoicing, job costing, customer portal access, maintenance tracking, and comprehensive reports and analyses.

“(Steelhead) allowed us to take on larger, more complex projects and spend less time on them,” explained Julian Carpenter, owner of Beans Best Manufacturing. “My stress is much lower… now I know that every job that goes outdoors is where I make money. We are six weeks ahead in understanding our financial situation and trends than anyone who does not use these types of platforms.”

Integrated reporting capabilities provide unparalleled insight into manufacturing operations with built-in insights such as Dock-to-Dock reporting. Users have the freedom to create custom reports tailored to their specific needs, further improving decision-making and strategic planning through operational visibility.

“I’m dealing with so many components that go through so many stages,” explained Nicolette McDonnell, manufacturing manager at Beans Best Manufacturing. “With Steelhead, I can know exactly how many parts are in my process, how many are ready to go, and which players are working on which parts. Having the data was absolutely valuable because it allowed us to make sure we were making enough money to pay people to do this work, but also to invest in all the cool equipment and the safe environment that we work in every day.”

Steelhead’s production management features are now available to all users, enabling producers to streamline operations, increase profitability and achieve sustainable growth. “The Steelhead is very easy to use,” explained Ian Gifford, operator at Beans Best Manufacturing. “I would say that even for a new employee like me who just came in a month ago, it’s very easy to confidently get the job done throughout the day.”
