Audit your steel statements before the next acquisition
Give us three months of consolidated supplier statements and a PO and receipt export. We split every statement into its individual invoices, match them line by line to the correct PO and plant, and hand you a list of what does not reconcile.
Written for the Chief Financial Officer at Roller Die + Forming. Nobody at Roller Die + Forming asked us for this.
Our read of Roller Die + Forming
Roller Die + Forming makes custom and standard roll formed shapes, roll formed tubes, extruded profiles, and stamped and fabricated parts, sold into building products, industrial machinery and data center construction. Roll forming runs on coil, so the material buy is heavy and repetitive while the work itself is engineer-to-order, which means POs are job-specific and short-lived. Five plants across Kentucky, Georgia and Florida, plus the Redall assets in Michigan and the Pyramid Mouldings plants in the US and Mexico, means one supplier can ship to several sites and bill it on one piece of paper.
- ✓ Five plants in Louisville and Frankfort, Kentucky, Rossville, Georgia and Green Cove Springs, Florida, per their own site. One supplier billing several plants is exactly what consolidated statements look like.
- ✓ The Redall asset purchase in Yale, Michigan closed on or around December 30, 2024. Asset purchases bring new vendor relationships in fast and vendor masters get messy.
- ✓ They run an active acquisitions program with HRH Capital and say plainly they intend to buy more businesses and facilities. Pyramid Mouldings already added three plants in the US and Mexico. Every deal adds invoices without adding AP headcount.
- ✓ Engineer-to-order production means POs are cut per job, so matching is per line and per job rather than per contract. That is the case where manual matching eats the most time.
Consolidated statement audit
Two to three weeks from the day the files land.. No fee for the pilot.
Split each consolidated statement into its individual invoices and line items, including the ones a one-PDF-one-invoice pipeline would silently swallow
Match every line to a PO and a receipt, and tag it to the correct plant
Flag duplicates, price variances against the PO, quantity and weight variances against the receipt, and missing credits for returns or rejected coil
Cluster the vendor master to surface the same supplier entered twice, which is the usual result of an asset purchase
Show the reasoning behind every flag in the UI so your team can agree or overrule it
What we need from you
- ✓ Three months of invoices and consolidated monthly statements from your five or six largest steel and aluminum suppliers, as PDFs or a forwarded email folder
- ✓ A flat export of open and closed POs and receipts for the same period, CSV or Excel, read-only, whatever your system dumps
- ✓ Your vendor master export, including any vendor records that came over with Redall
- ✓ Thirty minutes with whoever keys the invoices today
What you get back
- ✓ An exception list: every invoice line we could not match cleanly, with the reason and the plant it belongs to
- ✓ A duplicate and near-duplicate vendor report across the pre-acquisition and Redall records
- ✓ A count of statement lines that never appeared as a standalone invoice in your data at all
- ✓ A one-page read on whether this is worth automating, including the cases we got wrong
How you can tell it failed
If our exception list contains no genuine mismatch, duplicate, missing credit, or dropped statement line that your team agrees is real, we have lost and we say so in writing.
We already have AP under control, and we are in the middle of integrating Redall. Bad timing.
Integration is the reason to look now, not later. The audit needs no access to your ERP and no work from your IT people. You export files, we read them, you get an exception list in two to three weeks. If it turns up nothing, you have a clean second set of eyes on the Redall vendor records for free.
What we do not know about Roller Die + Forming
We built this from public sources. These are the things we would have to ask you, and they are the ones that decide whether any of it is worth your time.
- Ownership structure. If Roller Die sits inside a group that runs AP from a shared-services center outside Louisville, we are talking to the wrong building.
- Which ERP or MRP they run, and whether PO-based purchasing is standard at every plant including Redall.
- Whether Redall is on the same ERP yet or still running separately.
- Monthly invoice volume, and whether the steel service centers actually send consolidated statements or per-shipment invoices.
- Who holds the CFO title today. One of our sources on that is stale.
Tell us where this is wrong.
We are in Louisville and we would rather be corrected in person. If the read is off, the twenty minutes still cost you less than reading this page twice.
