These are just a few of the benefits recently realised by family owned Kimco Steel Sales Ltd, based in Kingston, Ontario.

Kimco Steels are a structural steel service centre offering a wide range of products and one of the leading metal recycling businesses and yet their outdated 20 year old system was geared toward coil and flat-rolled mills.  Despite regular tweaks to this system over the years to meet his company’s needs, Executive Director Cody Rosen – a fifth generation of Rosens to work in the business – decided that Kimco needed an ERP overhaul.

With a changing business, Kimco needed a flexible ERP system that can be utilised in a multitude of ways – a system that would offer traceability of our inventory, to purchasing tools, to forecasting, to reports, to shipping.  Increased functions that could take them to the next level.

Enter iMetal, a unique system offering flexibility to various types of customers depending on their needs. What makes iMetal different from many systems is it supports so many different types of metals businesses, from aerospace alloys to scrap dealers.
