Leading Companies Throughout the Metals, Wire and Cable Supply Chain use AXIOM® Every Day

Consona customers use AXIOM to produce, sell, and ship billions of dollars of product a year. Thousands of people in leading companies across all segments of the metals, wire and cable industries use AXIOM to perform their jobs every day. In fact, within wire & cable, more companies use AXIOM than any other single off-the-shelf enterprise resource management system.

Because AXIS is focused exclusively on companies that produce or process metal, or manufacture wire and cable products, the AXIS user base represents a community of companies with very similar business issues and solution needs.

AXIS users in the metals industry produce products that go into everything from simple fence posts and fasteners, to sophisticated aerospace products such as jet engines and the space shuttle. Even though they make everything from blooms, billets, ingots, and slabs to coils, plates, sheets, tube, bar, rod, wire, fasteners, and a wide range of forged, stamped and plated products, they have much in common when it comes to their information system needs.

Speaking the Same Language

AXIS users consider this community of like companies to be nearly as great an asset as the software itself. When AXIS customers meet, they speak the same language and share many of the same challenges. Because of this, they are able to effectively share ideas, insights, and solutions that are meaningful and valuable.

Focused Product Direction

In addition, the AXIS user community provides a focused source of input for on-going improvement and expansion of the AXIOM enterprise resource management solution. Where other enterprise software developers must balance the needs of customers across many diverse industries, AXIS is able to concentrate all of its resources on delivering the enhancements that are most valuable to companies in the metals, wire and cable industries. This kind of focused, user-driven enhancement process serves to provide AXIOM users with the tools and solutions they need to remain leaders in their respective markets on an on-going basis.
