Traceability through forging and machining
The heat number moves from billet to forging lot to each machined piece.
Forged and machined
Flanges & Fittings ERP software
Boost efficiency and quality in flange and fitting manufacturing with streamlined processes and data-driven insights.
Quick answer
What is flanges and fittings ERP?
Flanges and fittings ERP is software for forged and machined component makers. Formezy routes each job through cutting, forging, heat treatment, machining, drilling and inspection, keeps the heat number with every piece, and produces the certificates standards-driven customers expect.
Job costing based on guesswork
Value-add costing uses captured machine and labour time for every job.
Many standards, many certificates
Certificates combine material chemistry with your inspection and test results.
Segments
Built for every flanges & fittings segment
3 segments, each with its own shop-floor process flow.
Forged flanges
Weld neck, slip-on, blind and other forged flanges, with heat numbers carried from billet to each machined piece.
See the 7-step flowButt-weld fittings
Elbows, tees, reducers and caps formed from pipe or plate, with forming, heat treatment and NDT tracked per lot.
See the 7-step flowForged fittings
Socket-weld and threaded forged fittings machined from bar, with job routing, outside processing and piece-level traceability.

Questions
Flanges & Fittings ERP: common questions
Still have a question?
Talk to a metal ERP specialist about your own plant and process route.
Which flanges & fittings segments does Formezy support?
Formezy supports forged flanges, butt-weld fittings and forged fittings, each with its own process flow. Plants that combine segments run them in one system.
How does Formezy keep traceability through forging and machining?
The heat number of the billet is carried to the forging lot and then to every machined piece, and is used again at marking and certification.
Can it cost each job accurately?
Yes. Value-add costing uses machine and labour time captured per job, along with material used per piece.
Can work sent to outside processors be tracked?
Yes. Outside processing steps, such as vendor heat treatment or machining, are included in the production route.
Does it produce test certificates?
Yes. Certificates combine the material chemistry with your own inspection and test results.
Can fittings be managed per piece?
Yes. Fittings can be controlled on a per-piece basis in inventory.
