Steelhead Technologies is on a mission to build the ERP that powers manufacturing. Our cloud-based platform is purpose-built for job shops — the powder coaters, platers, anodizers, heat treaters, and fabricators at the heartbeat of manufacturing. We give shops real-time visibility into their operations, eliminate paper-based inefficiencies, and bring AI to the shop floor through features like automated order entry and intelligent reporting.

Our vision is simple: move manufacturing forward. Everything we build is in service of our north star — shops using Steelhead.
