30 days to ERP success: Nautilus Steel’s Priority journey

With growing demand and customers operating under intense time pressure, Nautilus Steel needed a modern ERP system that could keep pace. Their legacy system was inefficient, offered little integration with external systems, and lacked the speed and customization required to manage last-minute orders and national deliveries. Paper-based workflows, poor traceability, and limited remote access were also slowing down operations and impacting sustainability efforts.

Key challenges included:

• Tight customer delivery windows (next-morning delivery for late-afternoon orders)
• Disconnected systems with no real-time visibility
• Manual, paper-heavy processes
• Need for full operational traceability
• Complex user needs across planning and operations teams

Nautilus Steel turned to Priority ERP, implemented by ERPiQ, for a solution that could go live fast, scale with their growth, and adapt to their high-pressure operations. Within just 10 days, a test system was deployed. Within 30 days, Nautilus had transitioned fully from their old platform to a live, customized ERP system.

What set Priority ERP apart was its:

• Lightning-fast implementation — full system live in under a month
• Flexible user experience — customizable views for each role without conflict
• Full traceability — digital records replace paper folders, supporting efficiency and compliance
• Mobile-first, intuitive design — easy to navigate, even for non-technical staff
• Environmentally friendly architecture — paperless processes and remote access

The results were immediate and transformative:

• Instant time and cost savings from day one
• Custom workflows for each user, increasing productivity without disrupting teams
• No training bottlenecks — most staff were proficient within minutes thanks to the intuitive interface
• Improved traceability and order accuracy across the supply chain
• Rapid configuration — changes made “100 times a day” with ease

The implementation became a benchmark in speed and effectiveness, completed with extensive support from both ERPiQ and Priority—even during off-hours. For a company built on speed, precision, and reliability, Nautilus Steel found the perfect match in Priority ERP. The ability to implement quickly, adapt continuously, and empower every user has transformed their operations from the inside out. With Priority as a strategic partner, Nautilus is well-positioned to scale, innovate, and keep delivering on their next-day promise—no matter how fast the industry moves.
