In today’s competitive metals industry, it’s vital that when quoting and selling linear products that require cutting, your sales team is quoting based on maximizing the yield on the products quoted. This will result in more competitive quotes due to significant material savings, a higher quote to order ratio, and increased margins.
We are very pleased to now offer our customers another powerful tool in Steel Manager III, the 4GL Solutions Linear Nesting Module.
