The Metal ERP + E-Commerce
Software Solution

The INVEX metal software combined with a ready-to-use E-Commerce solution provides a unique combined solution in the metal industry space. As quotes and orders are submitted by customers through the e-commerce platform, these orders are then created, fulfilled, and invoiced by the metal ERP software. Customers can also browse inventory, for items such as stainless angles or steel sheets, before adding the items to an easy-to-use cart. 

Cost-Effective Metal Software Solution

INVEX metal software products offer a cost-effective implementation process with minimal or no modifications required, distinguishing them from generic software solutions. The platform-independent technology further enhances cost efficiency by eliminating the need for third-party components and licenses, including proprietary databases.

Product line-based features

Each product line can have order fulfillment and process flow differences. A general metal service center needs to quote a saw-cut angle quickly and have it cut in the warehouse for same-day or next-day delivery. A flat rolled service center that produces finished slit coils in advance, to a blanket Sales Order, has its own unique requirements. Best-in-class metal ERP software

Optimized for efficiency

From the moment the quote is entered, to when the order is taken, and production starts, each step in INVEX is fast and intuitive. Our customers save hours in a day or week compared to solutions that are not made for the metal industry or have not been optimized for these cases. Best-in-class metal ERP software

product attribute based inventory

No part numbers

The inventory control and access methods used in the metal industry are unique. INVEX inventory coding is based on the metal product’s native attributes that are familiar within the industry. INVEX eliminates the use of traditional, complex, cumbersome part numbers. The industry rarely refers to inventory by a generic part number, and a wide variety of product dimensions would require hundreds of thousands of part numbers. Best-in-class metal ERP software
