Data you already have, insights you have never seen.

AI Intelligence
Steel-specific killer features
Not another generic ERP. Built for the way steel actually runs.
Odoo, SAP and the rest were built for generic manufacturing. They do not understand coil calculations, heat numbers, rack-level tracking or why you need Urdu invoices. Pipetal does.
Coil Calculator (Built-in)
Convert between weight, length, diameter and gauge instantly. Buy 25 tons of coil and know exactly how many meters you have. No more back-of-the-envelope math.
Heat Number Traceability
Every finished bar ties back to a source heat number. In ten seconds know which heat, which batch, which shift and which QC inspector.
Rack-Level Storage
Your physical warehouse maps directly to the digital system. How much stock is in a specific rack right now? One second to answer, not ten minutes.
Melting Loss Tracking
Record wastage per run. Compare shifts. Identify where losses are creeping up before they eat the margin for the whole month.
Native Urdu Invoicing
Full Urdu language support for invoices, delivery challans and credit notes. Your entire team can read the system even if English is a barrier.
Native ZKTeco Biometric
Not a third-party add-on. Plug in the device, sync users, done. Attendance fraud ends the day you go live.
