Markham, ON — April 2, 2012 —4GL Solutions announced today the signing of agreements to install their ERP metal center specific software, Steel Manager III, at Bobco Metals, one of the oldest metal companies in Los Angeles, California. “We are very happy to welcome Bobco Metals to the 4GL Solutions customer family”, said George Walton, President of 4GL Solutions. “While Bobco Metals is one of the oldest metal centers in Los Angeles, they are also aggressively expanding in Southern California. The addition of a tube mill and a new location in Burbank, Ca is just the beginning of their expansion plans. Bobco was searching for ERP software that was specifically developed for the metals industry, would provide the functionality to accommodate their wide variety of products and value added services, and accommodate their sizeable retail business.

Fred Shooshani, Co-Owner of Bobco Metals, had this to say about the agreement, “We looked at a number of ERP systems, and two of our main requirements was having a system that not only had a strong foundation with all the functionality we need to effectively run our expanding business, but also one that was easy to use. Steel Manager III is the system we were looking for”.
