How We’ve Helped Manufacturing Clients

Case Study: A Precision Parts Manufacturer

A growing precision parts manufacturer struggled with frequent ERP downtime, causing delays in production and shipping. Xvand stepped in to provide comprehensive managed IT services, including:

  • Implementing a robust disaster recovery plan.
  • Optimizing ERP integration with production systems.
  • Enhancing cybersecurity with advanced threat detection.

IT Services Tailored For Steel & Metal Alloy Manufacturers

The world of steel and alloy production has evolved dramatically, and if you’re struggling with a homegrown ERP with limited functionality, need faster, more efficient ways to manage workflows, or have a business-critical need for rapid automation and traceability reporting, Xvand’s accomplished IT professionals are on hand to assist.

Leading-Edge Private Cloud Solutions for On-Demand ERP Access

Our manufacturing IT specialists consult with businesses throughout the steel and alloy production space. Many depend on unsupported solutions that have become redundant, subject to inefficiencies, or simply aren't fit for purpose.

Private cloud solutions mean:

  • Secure cloud-hosted environments implement robust cybersecurity protection across your ERP and all applications and data.
  • Managers and supervisors can tap into real-time reporting, outputs, and information on demand from any device and location.
  • Incompatible systems and older applications remain accessible and fully secure, while being safely hosted through the cloud.

Cloud architecture has no capacity limitations, meaning your solution scales, adapts, and grows with your business, providing ongoing reliability and affordability.

Our Ultra-Efficient ERP Reporting Engineered for Metal and Alloy Manufacturers

Xvand’s developers work with client-specific ERPs to introduce faster, customizable, detail-oriented reporting or evaluate data accessibility from your database–feeding accurate, real-time metrics into custom-formatted reports.

From producing on-demand mill certs and traceability reporting to identify the origin of every raw material, tracking supplies originating from each master slab, or extracting high-specificity data around carbon outputs, production methods, technical data, and sales commission calculations, we make reporting user-friendly and considerably less time-intensive, with custom reports publishing through web or online dashboards.

How We Drive Steel and Metal Alloy Production Efficiencies Through Process Automation

Automation is a key aspiration for steel and alloy manufacturers, for whom streamlining everyday manual processes can deliver substantial savings in time and operating costs while removing the potential for manual errors. This is something the Xvand team offers a wealth of expertise in.

Introducing advanced automation can, for example, boost productivity through precise casting, rolling, and slab handling management, optimize energy resource usage, and produce reports and client documentation with zero manual intervention required, reducing labor hours across the board.

Leveraging the Value of Data Analytics in Metals Manufacturing and Processing

Trend analytics offers preemptive notice of expected shifts in demand, supply chain availability, production techniques, or movements towards 'green steel,’ acting as a distinct competitive advantage, especially during shortages or forward procurement of raw materials like coking coal and iron ore. Xvand’s in-house data scientists specialize in data analysis at scale, identifying trends your business can harness, and creating tailored strategies to help you stay ahead even in hyper-competitive industrial and commercial manufacturing sectors.

How Xvand Addresses Core Security Concerns for Clients Throughout the Steel and Metal Alloy Production Industry

Security remains a prevalent concern, with steel and alloy manufacturers often supplying large corporations, servicing governmental contracts, and managing cross-border supply chains with multiple stakeholders and partners.

Our IT expertise ensures you are prepared to react to current and emerging demands, from compliance with client vendor management policies to adherence with robust security frameworks, keeping your data, business intelligence, and confidential contractual information safe and secure from malicious attacks.
