Every tonne traced, from scrap yard to loaded truck.
A steel plant buys, makes and sells by weight, and every heat, meaning one furnace melt, has its own chemistry. Kreon has a product built for this: Steel Plant ERP, for induction furnace units, rolling mills and integrated TMT and structural plants. It is organised around the weighbridge and the heat number, not around piece counts.
The details generic software gets wrong.
Weight is the only truth
Purchase, production and sale all run on weighbridge weight. Software that lets someone type a weight leaves room for error and leakage.
Yield, heat by heat
Burning loss, mill scale and end cuts decide your margin. You need them per heat and shift, not as a month-end average.
Scrap is not one item
Scrap arrives mixed, with deductions for dust, rust and moisture. The purchase bill must follow your grading, not the supplier's challan.
Test certificates on demand
Buyers ask for a mill test certificate against the heat number. Chemistry and strength results must be linked to every bundle sold.

Questions, answered.
Is the software only for integrated plants?
No. It works for a furnace unit selling billets, a rolling mill buying billets, or a plant with both. You use the stages you have, and the heat number is carried through whichever stages apply.
Can it handle daily rate changes?
Yes. Rates for scrap purchase and finished steel sale can be set daily, with approval. Orders booked at an earlier rate keep that rate, and the invoice picks the right one at loading.
Do brokers and transporters fit in?
Yes. Sales and purchases can carry a broker, with brokerage worked out on weight or value. Each truck's transporter, freight and LR (lorry receipt) details are recorded with the dispatch.
Which Kreon products fit steel plants?
Steel Plant ERP. Each can be shaped to the way your business works, and they share the same records when used together.
