Skyline Steel LLC
Like many steel fabricators and service centers, Skyline was using multiple disconnected software applications to manage the business. While they had the necessary data for each of their departments, the data was disconnected and often times required multiple data entry inputs. Verticent was able to support managing their dimensional product.
DECRA Roofing Systems
The success that DECRA has achieved with the Verticent solution shows that companies like DECRA, companies who are managing a dimensional product and who require detailed heat number and lot number genealogy, are able to deploy Verticent and address the unique software capabilities brought on by both of those requirements.
