The problem

Stock management software built for the wrong industry.
Running companies that can't afford to stay still.

Unintuitive by design

Legacy systems weren't built for steel. Every new hire needs weeks of training. Workflows that should take seconds take minutes. Mistakes happen — and they're costly.

Pay for every change

Need a new report? That's a customisation. New field? Another customisation. High monthly fees — plus implementation, training, and a queue for every tweak that should be standard.

No path to CBAM

CBAM is mandatory for UK metal importers. Deadline: January 2027. Most existing systems have no answer. Companies are paying expensive consultants to manually track what software should handle automatically.

UK CBAM deadline1 January 2027

CBAM isn't optional.
Are you ready?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires UK metal importers to track, report, and pay a carbon levy on steel and aluminium imports. From January 2027, it's legally mandatory — and the penalties for non-compliance are significant.

"Most steel stockholders are paying consultants to handle this manually. MettleCloud is being built to change that — CBAM readiness built into the same system you use to run your stock."
Country-of-origin tracking
Every product, every coil, every length — tracked to its origin at stock entry. Automatically linked to your CBAM record.
Mill certificate management
Attach MTRs and import documentation directly to stock items. Audit-ready at any time, no filing cabinets required.
Carbon factor calculation
MettleCloud is being built to apply tCO₂e/tonne factors per product, grade, and origin — continuously updated as UK CBAM requirements are confirmed by HMRC.
CBAM reporting tools
Designed to support your CBAM declaration process. We're developing reporting capabilities in step with HMRC guidance as it becomes available.
Platform features

Everything a metal stockholder actually needs.

Built from the ground up for plates, beams, sections, tubes — not adapted from a generic ERP.

Metal-specific stock management
Dimensional inventory — track by grade, thickness, width, and length. Price per tonne, per metre, per kg. Weight calculations done for you.
Fast order entry + auto allocation
Create an order in under 30 seconds. Stock is allocated automatically — picking the right grade, origin, and certificate for each line.
Low stock alerts
Set reorder thresholds by product, grade, and warehouse. Get notified before you run out — not after you've let a customer down.
Sales velocity & purchase forecasting
30/60/90-day sales velocity by product and grade. Know what to order, how much, and when — before your buyer has to guess.
Material certificate (MTR) management
Attach, store, and retrieve mill test reports against every stock item. Share with customers instantly — no rummaging through folders.
Sage integration
Two-way sync with Sage 50 and Sage 200. Invoices, purchase orders, and stock movements — no double entry, no reconciliation headaches.
CBAM readiness engine
Country-of-origin tracking, carbon factor lookup, and certificate management — built to support UK CBAM reporting as requirements are confirmed. Deadline: January 2027.
First invoice in under 30 minutes
If you can use an iPhone, you can use MettleCloud. We've tested it on people who've never seen the product — they're processing their first invoice within half an hour.
