Slitting and cut-to-length planning
Place orders across the coil width; strips, edge trim and leftover strips show up while you plan.
INDUSTRY · STEEL SERVICE CENTRES
From coil to shipment, every kilo on record.
OCTO ERP for steel service centres: coil slitting and cut-to-length planning, coil and certificate traceability, tonnage-based stock and cost.
Where does it hurt today?
- Slitting and cut-to-length plans live in spreadsheets; scrap and leftover strips show up too late.
- Finding which strip came from which mother coil and certificate takes time.
- Tonnage, scrap and outsourced work reach costing too late.

WHAT YOU MANAGE
A platform that speaks your industry’s language.
Production tree and lines
Mother coil → slitting → cut-to-length → shearing, trapezoid and profile steps, with line width, thickness and speed limits.
Coil, heat and certificate traceability
Which mother coil and certificate each strip and sheet came from, with certificate use per customer.
Tonnage-based stock
Coils, strips, sheets and incoming stock tracked in kg by grade, thickness, coating and location.
Scrap and offcuts
Edge trim, end scrap and offcuts are recorded per work order and reach costing.
Outsourced processing
Outsourced operations are linked to the same work order with tonnage out and back.
Quotes, orders and shipments
Quotes by tonnage and size; orders tracked to shipment with packaging and delivery point.
Weighbridge and accounting integration
Data exchange with weighbridges and your accounting software is assessed per project.

Does OCTO make the slitting plan, or do we?
The planner places orders across the coil; OCTO calculates line limits, trim and leftovers on the spot and turns the plan into work orders.
How does certificate tracking work?
The certificate is linked to the mother coil serial number; every strip and sheet from that coil carries it, and use is tracked per customer.
Is there a weighbridge integration?
Connection to weighbridges and other devices is assessed per project, based on your hardware and connectivity.
