Blade – Mobile Warehouse for iMetal

Mobile warehouse technology for iMetal – improving speed, accuracy and real-time control at the point of activity.

Blade brings iMetal directly into the warehouse, helping metals businesses improve speed, accuracy and control by capturing transactions at the point where work actually happens.

Designed specifically for iMetal, Blade uses mobile devices and barcode technology to give warehouse teams simple, immediate access to the information and transactions they need – reducing paperwork, manual entry and the potential for errors.

Instead of information being recorded on paper and entered into the ERP later, Blade enables warehouse activity to be captured directly into iMetal. This improves the quality and timeliness of operational data, giving sales, purchasing and management greater confidence in the information they are using.

Blade supports everyday warehouse activities including stock movements, inventory counts, zonal inventory counts, bulk moves, batch splitting, replacement of damaged labels and mobile item enquiries.

The result is a faster and more accurate warehouse operation, with improved stock confidence and greater visibility across the business.

And Blade continues to evolve.

Jonas Metals Software is extending mobile functionality into more areas of the metals operation, including Goods Inwards, Production and Transport, creating a broader mobile platform around iMetal.

We're also exploring how AI can simplify traditionally manual processes. Our AI Goods Inwards initiative, for example, looks at how intelligent technology can help capture and interpret incoming information, reducing manual administration while improving accuracy.

For metals businesses, the value goes beyond simply replacing paper with a mobile device. Capturing accurate information at source creates a stronger data foundation for everything that follows – from stock availability and order fulfilment to customer service, reporting and better decision-making.

Blade puts iMetal in the hands of the people doing the work – connecting the warehouse directly to the wider business.
