Every mult knows where it came from, and what it cost.
Slitting, cut-to-length, and leveling with mother-to-child genealogy that carries the heat, the MTR, and the dollars, whether the coil is yours or your customer's.
Every mult has to carry the master coil's heat and cost.
One master coil becomes a dozen mults. Track that by hand and by Friday nobody trusts the numbers.
A master coil becomes five mults and a ribbon of edge trim. If the children don't inherit the heat, the cert, and the cost, you're reconstructing all three in a spreadsheet by Friday.
Toll work means customer coils next to your own, same racks, same slitter. One ownership mix-up and inventory value, processing invoices, and the customer's trust all take the hit.
Run half a coil and the sheet still shows the full weight, because someone forgot to draw it down. Nobody trusts the numbers, so somebody walks the floor to count.
Freight, duty, and processing land on the master coil, then the slit coils sell at prices built on averages. When the market swings, the margin you booked isn't the margin you got.
This is what Fion fixes, from the master coil to the last blank.
One master coil, five mults, one story.
Modules built for flat-rolled
Every module in Fion understands coil natively: gauge, width, weight, coating, and ownership. Here's how they map to your operation.
Track masters and mults by gauge, width, weight, grade, coating, and location, with weight deducted automatically as material runs. Company-owned and customer-owned coils never blur.
Learn moreWork orders for slitting, cut-to-length, leveling, roll forming, and coating: master in, mults out, each child inheriting the heat, the cert, and its share of the cost.
Learn moreBuild quotes against live coil inventory filtered by gauge, width, and coating. Allocate exact coils, and the margin you see is the margin you'll get.
Learn morePOs carry the whole purchase cost, customs and duty included, and route for approval. Pre-receipts track inbound coils before the truck arrives, and every vendor charge lands in one queue, checked against the invoice.
Learn moreEverything ready to ship waits in one queue. Generate the BOL and capture signed proof of delivery.
Learn morePurchase, freight, and processing build up on every coil, piece by piece. Invoices post in batches to your accounting system.

Common questions from coil operations
Does genealogy survive slitting and cut-to-length?
Yes. Work orders track the master coil in and the mults out, so every child inherits the heat, the MTR link, and its share of the cost. A blank cut from a mult still traces to the master.
Can Fion handle toll processing and customer-owned coils?
Ownership is a first-class field on every coil, so customer-owned material runs through the same receiving, work orders, and shipping without ever mixing into your inventory value. You bill the processing, not the steel.
What happens when we run part of a coil?
Weight deducts automatically as material is consumed on the work order, and the remaining coil goes back to stock at its remaining weight, with its heat and cost intact. No draw-down spreadsheet.
Does Fion plan slit setups?
No. Your slitter planning decides the knife layout. Fion is the system of record for what went on the arbor, what came off, what it cost, and where every mult went.
Does Fion replace our accounting system?
No. Fion runs the operation and posts batched invoices to the accounting system you already keep, including QuickBooks, Dynamics, NetSuite, and Sage.
