Steel, Run as One SystemHow Hulas Steel runs steel manufacturing, trading and dealer distribution on SAP Business One
Melt yield drifts and nobody sees it until month-end costing
Heat-wise traceability breaks between melting, rolling and dispatch — one quality claim and the paper trail takes days
Weighbridge readings, production entries and invoices disagree, and the difference is real money in scrap and shortage
Grade-section-size inventory balloons because stock truth is per godown register, not per system
Raw material and price volatility outruns the costing — you learn the real conversion cost after the order shipped
From scrap or billet receipt over the weighbridge to heat-wise melting, rolling and finishing, every movement lands in one system: heat and lot numbers carried end-to-end, test certificates attached at the heat, weighbridge-verified quantities on both gates, grade/section/size stock live per yard, and dispatch against confirmed weighment. The BMW Ventures pattern — SAP Business One HANA with IoT weighbridge integration — is the template: the scale writes the truth, the system keeps it.
Integrated finance, purchasing, inventory, sales, production, projects and reporting.
Industry processes, controls, integrations, localisations and specialised workflows.
AI questions, insights, alerts and agentic automation using live business context.
Conversion cost per tonne by heat and by section — power, fuel, consumables, and yield loss priced in, not averaged away. Scrap-to-finished yield tracked per shift; price-volatile inputs revalued so quotes reflect today’s metal, not last month’s. Approvals and exceptions by responsibility: the yard head sees weighment mismatches, the plant head sees yield drift, the promoter sees margin per tonne per grade — each acting on their own number, daily.
Yes — heat and lot numbers carry from melting through rolling to dispatch, with test certificates attached at the heat.
Yes — BMW Ventures runs IoT weighbridge integration on SAP Business One HANA; readings post directly against documents.
Yes — multi-dimension item structures with live stock per yard.
