Form of work
SalaryOur client is on a mission to modernize the $220B+ Metal Service Center (MSC) industry – the backbone of America's industrial economy. Through their platform, we aim to transform the $1T metal value chain and digitize metal distribution throughout North America.
Metal Service Centers hold a pivotal position in the metal supply chain, processing and distributing half of the 88M tons of steel produced in the US annually. Essential industries depend on MSCs for everything from aircraft and skyscrapers to automobiles and medical devices. Despite their critical role, MSCs are held back by legacy software from the '70s and '80s, costing the industry over $10B in unrealized earnings each year.
Driven by their customer-centric philosophy, they are pioneering a modern ERP, purpose built to empower MSCs to boost revenue, slash costs, and save time. Our client's platform enables strategic inventory purchasing, streamlines manual tasks, improves the customer experience, ensures on-time deliveries, and accelerates sales growth.
