Steel & Metal Trading: Margin Decides

No car, no bridge, no wind turbine - none of it exists without reliable steel and metal supply. Steel trading connects producers with thousands of processors, enabling mobility, infrastructure, renewable energy expansion, and industrial prosperity. But price volatility, regulatory pressure, and rising customer expectations are fundamentally reshaping the business model. Securing margins and stabilising supply chains requires real-time visibility, integrated ERP processes, and data-driven systems that keep pace with the market.

Challenges
What Puts Your Industry Under Pressure
01

Margin Erosion Amid Extreme Price Volatility

Purchase prices fluctuate daily. Warehousing costs, surcharges, and freight rates continuously reshape calculations. Without real-time margin visibility per order, pricing decisions become guesswork. The consequences hit the bottom line directly.

02

Capital Locked in Inventory

Thousands of tonnes on stock secure delivery but tie up millions in working capital. Excess crushes cash flow; shortage loses valuable customers. Without objective, reliable data this becomes a gamble.

of revenue typically tied up in inventory
03

Regulatory Complexity and Documentation Obligations

CBAM, CSRD, Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, mill test certificates, certificates of origin - documentation grows faster than your internal resources. Without digital integration, compliance becomes an operational bottleneck.

How we Help
Technologies That Sustainably Strengthen Your Competitiveness and Create Certainty

We combine steel trading understanding with enterprise technology. Not off-the-shelf solutions, but systems that map your specific trading, warehousing, and logistics processes end to end.

  • End-to-end linkage of purchase prices, storage costs, surcharges, and transport costs in SAP S/4HANA/Business One Production or Dynamics 365 - from procurement to invoicing.
  • Pricing logic that makes your actual margin per order, per customer, and per material group visible in real time - not only in post-calculation
  • This makes margin management a leadership function based on objective real-time data.
  • Weight-, dimension-, and quality-based inventory tracking with demand forecasts drawn from historical order and market data.
  • Integration of warehouse management, materials planning, and procurement into a single ERP system that automatically monitors stock ranges and triggers replenishment.
  • Less dead capital in the warehouse, more liquidity in the bank for investments that move your business forward.
  • CRM systems based on Salesforce or Dynamics 365 that bring customer history, contract terms, complaints, and cross-selling potential together on one platform.
  • Connection to digital trading platforms and EDI partners for automated order intake, from quote to order confirmation without media breaks.
  • Your sales team works faster, more precisely, and with better customer intelligence than the competition.
  • Multi-warehouse logistics with picking, processing, and transport planning, integrated with freight carriers and/or own fleet in SAP or Dynamics 365.
  • Sawing, machining, deburring, and other processing steps seamlessly embedded in the order process, with real-time feedback.
  • Your logistics evolves from a cost factor into a differentiator.
  • Automated generation and assignment of mill test certificates, material certificates, and certificates of origin - directly from the ERP process.
  • CBAM-compliant CO₂ documentation and CSRD-ready reporting as an integral part of your business processes, not a retrofit project.
  • Compliance shifts from risk factor to competitive advantage - especially with customers who increasingly demand transparency.
  • Revenue, margin, and market analyses with drill-down by customer, material, region, and period - on dashboards built for decision-makers.
  • Predictive analytics on historical trade and market data to detect demand shifts early and de-risk procurement decisions.
  • Your data works for you - not in silos, but as a strategic leadership instrument.
