Customer story · Steel
A Steel Mill That Runs On Fuuz From Receipt To Ship
Hybar originally selected a well-known big-box ERP and MES vendor, then found that system too rigid for its operations once the project began. It pivoted to Fuuz and was live months later with full-stack integrations. Today its entire operation runs on Fuuz from receipt to ship, with full track and trace, and Fuuz is the factory data system that powers AI across the business.
The challenge
Where They Started
Hybar began its project with a large, well-known ERP and MES suite. Once implementation started, it became clear the system was too rigid to support how the mill actually operates.
- Steel mill processes that did not fit a packaged template
- Raw material receiving by truck and rail
- Suppliers and partners exchanging shipping information by hand
- A need for full track and trace from receipt to ship
