iFacto

Heus Staal, a Papendrecht-based steel products supplier, achieved full traceability across its operations by implementing Dynamics 365 Business Central with iFacto and integrating the dx steel shopfloor system to control production processes including blasting, sawing, and burning. The solution also added certificate management, warehouse scanning, document management, and reporting & BI capabilities.

Van Raak Groep, a 95-person family-owned steel trading group operating seven locations, implemented iFacto's Steel365 — built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — to unify sales, purchasing, inventory, logistics, certificate management, and transport on a single platform. The industry-specific implementation automated internal inter-location transfers that were previously manual and enabled the same or greater workload to be handled with less capacity, while also delivering fewer delivery errors, faster certificate processing, and improved management reporting. Steel365's built-in steel-sector functionality and Single Logistics Multi Finance model let the group centralize logistics while keeping financial structures decentralized across its locations.

iFacto implemented Dynamics 365 Business Central alongside DX Steel for Barteling Buizen BV, a Dutch steel pipe specialist with over 70 years of experience, achieving full traceability across its operations. The DX Steel shopfloor system was deployed for the sawmill, bringing production planning fully under control, complemented by certificate management, document management, and reporting and BI. The project demonstrates iFacto's depth in serving steel distribution and manufacturing businesses with integrated ERP and industry-specific shopfloor solutions.
