“The steel industry is still recovering from the economic turbulence over the past year. Yet, here is a visionary company that is investing in its IT infrastructure so that, as the recovery broadens, it is well positioned to gain even more market share. This partnership with Wheeling Corrugating is very important to everyone here at Verticent” comments Scott Cranford, Vice President of Sales, (Verticent) “The partnership has blossomed in large part because of the steel industry depth that is found throughout the Verticent ERP solution. Wheeling Corrugating possesses the characteristics of both a metal fabricator and metal service center and that is ideal in terms of the fit for our solution. In general, a big theme for this partnership will be automation and integration. We will automate many manual processes, and we will integrate not only Wheeling Corrugating’s individual departments, but each of its manufacturing sites as well.”
