For this, all Eastern Alloys group companies including Service Aluminum Corp; Eastern Alloys of Kentucky; EA Aluminum Corp; EA Raw Materials Corp; and Wheel Recovery Systems, will deploy next-generation commodity management software for trading, position, risk, production scheduling, inventory management, assay management, and tolling of its metals operations.

Eastern Alloys required a next-generation CTRM solution to control its entire metals operations from the input of scrap metal to the production of ingots. They wanted an advanced, fully functional metals solution that would eliminate multiple custom solutions and improve decision making. The software solution also had to be fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV accounting system.

The group has partnered with Eka Software Solutions for the project.

Eastern Alloys will use InSight CM-Metals, a comprehensive solution for managing the metals supply chain across base metals, ferro alloys, steel, and scrap. The next-generation CTRM software provides real-time data to help metals manufacturers, miners, refiners, and smelters make decisions regarding buying, selling, hedging, processing, and moving metals.

In addition, the group has selected commodity analytics cloud SMART Cubes for advanced analytics and commodity intelligence.

Dick Bauer, CEO, Eastern Alloys, said, “The fact that Eka’s solution is completely integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV made our decision easy. With a single platform that includes all front, middle, and back office functions, everyone has the information needed to best perform their roles.”

Wah Chu, VP, Global Services & Support, Eka, added, “To remain competitive in today’s volatile commodities markets, manufacturing companies need an advanced system to effectively handle commodity risk. We are pleased to welcome Eastern Alloys as a new customer.
