Products born inside real problems.
When a whole industry runs on the same headaches, a bespoke build wants to become a product. MetlSys, our ERP for steel and stainless stockholders, is the first. The Full Squad, for grassroots and non-league football, launches for the 2027/28 season.
An ERP that actually knows the steel trade.
A taste of what MetlSys handles. The full story, with workflows and pricing, lives on the MetlSys site.
EN 10204 traceability
Heat and cast numbers and mill certificates held as first-class records, with full traceability from goods-in through every operation to despatch.
AI document capture
The system reads mill certs and paperwork so the office isn't re-keying delivery notes and MTCs by hand.
Goods-in to invoice
The whole flow in one place: receipt, weighing, stock, picking, despatch and invoicing, with everyone on the same live data.
Customer portal
Customers log in and pull their own certificates, delivery notes and invoices, so there are fewer copy-document calls on a Friday afternoon.
Outprocessing
Material sent out for machining or testing is tracked off-site and back, with the heat traceability never broken.
Stock & cut-piece pricing
Real stock positions and proper cut-piece pricing built for how a stockholder actually sells steel.
Real screens, real steel workflows.
These are actual MetlSys screens, with every customer, financial and transaction detail masked.
The Full Squad.
Club management software for grassroots, non-league and junior football, launching for the 2027/28 season. The same model as MetlSys: get inside how the thing actually runs, then build the platform that carries it — this one alongside a real non-league club, not guessed at from the outside.
What The Full Squad will do at launch:
Registration
A parent will sign a player up once, on their phone, with contacts, emergency numbers, medical notes and consents arriving right first time. The design commits to keeping registration out of the paywall entirely.
Subs & match fees
Cards on file, one tidy charge a month going straight to the club's own account, and reminders that send themselves — with match fees charged only for the games actually played.
Fixtures & availability
Every game will go out with kick-off, the pitch and a map, and parents answer with one tap, so by Thursday night the manager knows whether they have eleven.
The club website
Each club gets a site of its own, carrying the club's colours and publishing the result minutes after the final whistle instead of whenever somebody remembers.
Messaging
One message will reach every parent, with replies coming back privately, so the pitch change gets seen instead of drowning under ninety-four thumbs-ups in the group chat.
Safeguarding, by design
Safeguarding is being built as a constraint rather than a setting: no one-to-one adult-to-child messaging channel, and a child's photo shown only while a parent's consent is current.
Running a trade the software world forgot?
If your industry works around generic tools that never quite fit, that's exactly the gap we look for. It starts with one conversation about one process.
