ERP on the shop floor
Data captured where the work happens
The fastest ERP entry is the one nobody types. Formezy turns shop-floor events into one live record in four steps.
- 1
Capture
Weighbridges, scales, machines and furnaces post data directly. Operators log run, setup and downtime on mobile.
- 2
Connect
Every entry joins one record that follows the heat number from receipt through WIP to the finished bundle.
- 3
Control
Quality gates hold failed material, WIP is visible by process, and work at vendors stays tracked.
- 4
Report
Certificates, loading lists and dashboards come from the same data, so nobody compiles reports by hand.
See it mapped step by step for Tube & Pipe, Coils & Sheets, Wire & Bar, Rolling Mills, Flanges & Fittings, Fasteners.

TraceabilityWhat is heat-wise traceability in steel manufacturing?
Heat-wise traceability links every finished coil, bundle or piece back to the heat it came from. Here is how it works on the shop floor and why ERP makes it practical.

What is Formezy?
Formezy is ERP software built for metal manufacturers and distributors. It covers production, purchase, inventory, quality, sales, finance, logistics, maintenance, HR, IoT and business intelligence in one platform, and handles metal data such as heat numbers, coils, bundles and test certificates natively.
Which metal industries does Formezy support?
Six segments: tube and pipe, coils and sheets, wire and bar, rolling mills and structural steel, flanges and fittings, and fasteners. Each has its own process flow in the software.
What is data automation in a metal plant?
It means capturing plant data at the source instead of typing it in later. Weighbridge readings, machine and furnace data, shop-floor entries and test results flow straight into the ERP, so stock, WIP, yield and certificates stay current without manual reconciliation.
Can Formezy connect to weighbridges and machines?
Yes. The Weight Integration module brings accurate weight data into production, inventory and quality, and the IoT & Automation module connects devices to capture real-time machine data.
What is heat-wise traceability?
Heat-wise traceability means the heat number recorded at material receipt stays attached through every process stage to the finished coil, bundle or piece and its test certificate. Any product can be traced back to its heat, and any heat forward to its customers.
Is Formezy cloud-based?
Yes. Formezy is a cloud-based ERP, so plants, offices and remote teams work on the same live data.
Where is Formezy available?
Formezy has offices in India (Ahmedabad headquarters), the UAE (Dubai) and the United States, and supports metal manufacturers in other countries remotely.
Which metal industry segments does Formezy cover?
Formezy covers tube & pipe (seamless pipe, erw pipe, spiral welded pipe (hsaw) and cold-drawn precision tubes); coils & sheets (slitting & cut-to-length service centres, galvanized coils & sheets (gi / gp) and colour-coated coils (ppgi / ppgl)); wire & bar (galvanized wire, bright bars and stainless steel wire); rolling mills (tmt bars, structural sections and wire rods); flanges & fittings (forged flanges, butt-weld fittings and forged fittings); fasteners (bolts & nuts, screws and high-tensile fasteners).
