Chicago Tube & Iron
Specialty steel service center and fabricator
About The Company
Founded in 1914, Chicago Tube & Iron is one of the largest specialty steel service centers in the United States, with $300 million in annual revenue and 11 locations throughout the Midwest and in Monterrey, Mexico.
Chicago Tube & Iron was at a technology dead-end: Its 30-year-old, green-screen Unix-based operations management system was heavily customized and difficult to maintain and update.
CT&I engaged Ultra Consultants to direct the project, steer CT&I through business process improvement (BPI), guide the software selection process and manage implementation. See how Ultra helped CT&I streamline their processes and gain valuable data and critical analysis through an ERP selected for their unique needs.
Challenges
- Current system had no fabrication management functionality
- System could not support engineer-to-order processes
