What Today's Metal Manufacturers Need To Stay Competitive
The fabricated metals industry is under pressure: fluctuating material costs, outside processing requirements, co-products, machine capacity constraints, and changing customer needs. This guide explores how cloud ERP helps modern manufacturers move faster, reduce waste, and make better decisions with real-time visibility across every part of the shop.
With Milestone as your Acumatica partner, you get expert guidance and a system tailored to the way you work—so your technology supports your growth instead of slowing you down.

Manage Outside Processing With Ease
Ship WIP to vendors, track outside services, and automatically add costs to your job—no spreadsheets required.
Improve Estimating and Quoting Accuracy
Use manufacturing estimates and a rules-based product configurator to simplify quoting and ensure costs are accounted for up front.
Handle Engineering Changes and Custom Work
Streamline approvals for Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), track revisions, and update BOMs without breaking production.
Stay in Control of Inventory and Production
Use barcoding, job costing, backflushing, and finite scheduling tools to stay on top of shop floor activity and materials.
