Order entry is one of the most time-consuming jobs in your shop.

Mistakes cost thousands. Manual data entry creates a bottleneck, leaving parts waiting on the floor.

✨ Introducing AI Order Entry ✨

Drop in a PDF or snap a photo of your PO. Steelhead reads it, pulls the data, and has your order ready to review and push to production in minutes, not hours.

80% reduction in data entry. Less human error. Parts to the floor faster.

Happy 5th birthday, Steelhead!

couldn't be more proud of the growth of our customers, dedication of our team, and advancement of our product in these last five years, all made possible by everyone who shares our passion for moving manufacturing forward.

Here's a message from our fearless leader, Jeff Halonen.

Let's keep pushing, there's a lot of opportunity ahead!

Behind every Steelhead banner is a shop running efficiently, growing faster, and keeping more of what they earn.

Five years in, 300+ shops trust Steelhead to help run their business. Over 2 billion parts have moved through the platform. And the shops growing with us average over $180K in annual revenue per headcount, a number that reflects real margin gains, not just volume growth.

We started with a simple idea: job shops deserved better software. Shops were starving for a solution their teams could use, not endless spreadsheets and workarounds. Something built for the way shops actually run. That hasn't changed, and it never will.

What has changed is the proof. Hundreds of banners on shop walls from coast to coast. Healthier margins. Faster throughput. Growth.

To every customer who trusted us before we had all the answers, and to every customer putting in the work today: you are the reason this exists. To the 110 teammates who show up every day to build, support, and push this thing forward: this milestone belongs to you too!

Year five was something. Year six is bringing AI advancements that will change the way shops operate forever.

Happy birthday, Steelhead 🎂

The Steelhead Run 2026 brought the whole Steelhead team together for a day of collaboration, fresh thinking, and building what’s next.

Steelhead fish are known for pushing upstream, adapting to changing conditions, and staying focused on the path ahead. That same mindset showed up for our "run" as teams shared ideas, worked through challenges, and kept momentum moving forward.

From product discussions and AI showcases to customer case studies and rapid-fire presentations, there was no shortage of energy or creativity.

One of the biggest highlights was Open Waters, where teams stepped into new territory to build and present concepts, workflows, and operational improvements in a trade show style setting. It was a great look at what happens when collaboration and problem solving come together.

Colonial Surface Solutions in Columbus Grove, OH is gaining greater visibility and control across a complex finishing operation.

Offering powder coating, liquid paint, blasting, and military-grade coatings, their team needed a system built to handle it all without the inefficiencies of disconnected tools.

With Steelhead, they have unified quoting, production, payroll, accounting, maintenance, and quality in one platform. The result is no more double data entry, real-time operational insights, reduced lead times, stronger margins, and more time spent growing the business instead of chasing job statuses.
We are proud to partner with Colonial Surface Solutions as they continue building a more efficient, scalable future.

Welcome to Steelhead, Colonial Surface Solutions!

Still relying on one person to explain your books?

That’s not a system. That’s a bottleneck.

Steelhead brings accounting into the same place you run your shop, so your financials stay connected to real production data. No chasing numbers. No month-end scramble. No guesswork.

When your books update with your operation, you don’t just close faster. You make better decisions.

Oregon Powder Coating in Tangent, Oregon is bringing more visibility and control to their operation.

As a shop managing their own pickups and deliveries, the team wanted better insight into parts before they even hit the floor. With Steelhead, they’re now capturing information at pickup, giving them full visibility from the start of the process.

The team is especially excited about improving prioritization and communication across the shop. With real-time visibility and clearer workflows, everyone knows what needs to be done and what’s coming next.

They’re also seeing immediate impact in shipping, with better organization and tracking ensuring parts are accounted for and moving out the door without delays.

We’re excited to partner with the Oregon Powder Coating team as they continue building a more connected and efficient operation.

Welcome to Steelhead, Oregon Powder Coating.

“What do you do with all the time you save?”

For this shop, it wasn’t about free time.

It was about burnout.

Teams were working 6–7 days a week. Late nights. Constant stress. People hitting a breaking point.

Now? Overtime is planned. Nights and weekends are optional. And the shop runs without chaos.

Same workload. Better system.
