Job shops don't have time for paperwork.

[Steelhead Technologies @Steelhead_Tech]

Order entry shouldn't take hours.

Drop in a PDF or snap a photo of your PO. Steelhead AI reads it, pulls the data, and prepares the order for review in minutes.

80% less data entry. Fewer errors. Faster to the floor.

Just getting warmed up!
Running a Metal finishing/Fab job shop is HARD.
Looking forward to the next 5 years of supporting the shops who support our nation!

[Steelhead Technologies @Steelhead_Tech]

Behind every Steelhead banner is a shop running efficiently, growing faster, and keeping more of what they earn.

Year five was something. Year six is bringing AI advancements that will change the way shops operate forever.

Happy birthday, Steelhead 🎂

@CalebChamberla6 Congratulations!

@MorellCarson Heard it with my own two ears!!

“The only way I could have gotten this is I had just stood there all day and watched them work.”

Jarrod bet the house, and won!

Three days after refinancing to invest in his business, COVID shut everything down.

Then one call turned it around.

100k/year for Microsoft GCC High alone
100k for “fips compliant” cameras (x4 for 4 buildings)
MSP, locks, window covers, cost of the audit, ect..

Plus it slows down day/day operations shuffling purchase orders/shippers in secure drop boxes.

This particular shop does metal finishing, and has it extremely narrow slice of the “intellectual pie” regarding sensitive defense programs

@barbinbrad I talked to a 200 person shop in MN.
Spent 1.5m to get CMMC.
300-500k/year to maintain.
Not cheap!

[Jeff Halonen @HalonenJeff]

@CalebChamberla6 A job shop owner said you need to optimize for 3 things:
-Lead time
-On time delivery
-Quality

Capacity of course impacts both Lead time and OTD directly

Due to a scheduling constraint, I had the privilege of deploying KLYK manufacturing out of Holland, MI in December!

KLYK is growing fast, actively reshoring production from Asia! 🇺🇸

It is exciting to see manufacturing supply chains making the move back to the USA!

Huge growth ahead!

Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Visibility into every job and every margin. When the data is clear, decisions come faster and you get ahead.

Moving from paper to live data changed how decisions get made at Western Hard Chrome.

With real time visibility into the shop floor, margins, and efficiency, they are no longer guessing. They can see what is happening, act faster, and make decisions with confidence!

[Jeff Halonen @HalonenJeff]

Heading out to launch production at a small furniture manufacturer in Southwest Michigan.

They are choosing to go digital because they are scaling from 3,000,000 to 9,000,000 in revenue in the next year as they onshore projects from Vietnam.

Each piece of furniture they manufacture receives Ecot and or powder coat as an external service.

It is great to see some Michigan manufacturing beating out global competition

Also, we have an investment to announce. Lots of work to do.

Are you sick of paper travelers, production bottlenecks, and never knowing which jobs are actually profitable? That was everyday reality for Versatile Spray Painting in Bolton, ON before Steelhead.

NOW: Less chaos. More control. Real margin growth.

Struggling to hit your lead times? You’re not alone! Western Hard Chrome was in the same boat, but by fully digitizing their production floor, they turned things around big time.
