Compliance and traceability. Built for metals.
GoSmarter is the AI-powered compliance and traceability platform for metals manufacturers. It turns every certificate into usable data the moment it lands, so traceability starts before the metal ever reaches the yard. The paperwork does not disappear. It stops acting like paperwork and starts acting like the product record.
When traceability is missing, it becomes everyone’s problem
The same patterns show up across every operation we work with:
- Cert packs assembled by hand at despatch because nothing was linked at goods-in
- QC holding a job because the right test certificate cannot be found before approval
- Production staff leaving machines idle while someone locates the material spec
- Engineers cross-referencing PDFs manually because grade data was never in the system
- Compliance managers rebuilding the audit trail from scattered records the week before an inspection
- Contract managers re-checking specs on every order because there is no single source of truth
None of that is skilled work. It only happens because traceability was never built in from the start.

When the data entry disappears, the real work gets done
Your experienced people should be solving production problems, not re-keying certificate data from PDFs. GoSmarter handles the extraction, linking, and filing automatically. The shop floor runs better when compliance is built into the process, not bolted on at the end by whoever has time. It works the same way for someone in their first week as it does for someone who has been on the floor for thirty years.
The compliance problem in metals
One non-conformance. One untraceable heat number. One delayed shipment. The stakes are real.
Fabricators, stockholders, mills: chasing certs, patching spreadsheets, and praying before audits. Traceability starts before the metal arrives. GoSmarter turns the certificate into usable data the moment it lands. Compliance by default, not by panic.

Metal Fabricators
Your raw material is money. A missing cert stops a job. A failed audit stops everything. GoSmarter means neither happens.
- Every cert processed automatically — PDFs, scanned images, and photos all accepted. AI reads the data, links it to stock, and builds the EN 10204 audit trail without anyone retyping a thing
- Branded cert packs at despatch — Generate a professional certificate pack PDF for every order: your logo, one page per item, QR codes back to the live record. Customers get what they need to receive and pay without the back-and-forth
- Quality rules that run themselves — Auto-tag material by grade, carbon equivalent, or yield strength. Flagged stock is caught and held before it ever reaches the floor
- AI cutting plans against certified stock — Reduce offcut waste 20–50% on structural sections, tube, and bar. Grade compliance verified before any job starts
Steel Stockholders & Service Centres
Stock is your business. A cert you can't find is a delivery you can't make. A customer who has to chase their paperwork is a customer looking for another supplier.
- Every cert linked at goods-in — PDFs, images, and hand-entered certs all processed. No manual retrieval when an order ships
- Know exactly what you have — Live stock with wall thickness, nominal size, and section designation. Filter by grade, carbon equivalent, or yield strength without picking up the phone
- Professional cert packs to customers — Generate branded certificate pack PDFs for every despatch: your logo, per-item cert data, QR codes back to the live record. One document does the job
- Full audit trail as standard — Every change to stock, certs, and orders logged with who, what, and when. Ready for customer audits and regulatory inspections without a last-minute scramble
The virtuous cycle
Get traceability right once. Everything built on top of it works better from that point on.
The cert becomes live data
Every certificate (PDF, scanned image, or manually entered) is read, linked to stock, and tagged by material properties. The trace starts the moment it lands.
Quality catches problems earlier
Material is flagged before it reaches the floor. Jobs start with the right grade confirmed. Customers receive branded cert packs with every despatch. No chasing.
Your team's time goes to better work
When traceability runs itself, planners plan, QC engineers inspect, and despatch ships. No one is hunting for the same piece of paper.
The returns compound
Scrap falls because cuts run against certified stock. On-Time In-Full (OTIF) improves because jobs are not held on a missing cert. Audits are routine because the trail is always current. Then it starts again.

No changes to your ERP.
Same platform. You pick where it fits.
The outcomes build on each other. Scrap rates drop when cuts run against certified, live stock. Admin hours shrink when certs are read and linked automatically. On-time delivery improves when every job starts on verified material. Customers receive branded cert packs with their orders. No chasing, no delays. See the numbers →
Built for metals manufacturers everywhere
Traceability that works from day 1. Save hundreds of hours each year by automating your Mill Certs process and improve your traceability, quality, and compliance.
It makes good business sense
When traceability is built in from the start, the returns show up in four places and they compound.
20–50%
Scrap drops
120+ hrs/yr
Admin disappears
The scrambling stops
Over-ordering stops
They happen together because traceability connects them. Mill cert data links to stock automatically the moment it arrives, whether it’s a PDF, scanned document, or even a photo. Accurate, connected inventory creates better cut plans. Better plans reduce shortages, improve material utilisation, and keep deliveries on time. When customers need compliance documents, the complete cert packs are ready instantly.
All four. Whether you replace your current setup or run alongside it.
Put your own numbers in. Takes 2 minutes. No account needed.
GoSmarter works on top of your existing setup. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), spreadsheets, or both. Nothing to replace. Most teams are live in 1–2 days →

What GoSmarter isn’t
We’re upfront about what this isn’t built for. Three things we won’t pretend we are:
- Not an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) replacement. Keep your Infor, Epicor, Dynamics, or Sage. We sit on top or integrate in.
- Not a 2D nesting tool — yet. Cutting Plans handles long products today. Plate and sheet are on the roadmap. If you cut flat, use our free Material Yield Planner for now.
- Not priced per seat. One price per site. Add as many users as you want. No licence maths.
That clarity isn’t modesty. It’s so you don’t waste a fortnight evaluating the wrong thing.
Your team’s expertise belongs on better problems
GoSmarter handles the cert extraction, material tagging, and audit trail automatically. The people who know the operation best can focus on the work that actually moves metal, not the admin that surrounds it.
