Why cloud

All the Capability, None of the Infrastructure

MetalNet runs the same core functionality as Metalware — quoting, orders, inventory, processing, purchasing, trafficking, invoicing, and accounting — delivered as a subscription instead of an on-premise system.

Browser-based accessLog in from any location, any device, with no client software to install or maintain.

Subscription pricingPredictable monthly cost in place of a large upfront hardware and license investment.

Lower IT overheadNo servers to patch, back up, or replace — Paragon manages the infrastructure behind the platform.

Faster deploymentNew sites and users can be brought online without a hardware procurement cycle.

Automatic updatesNew features and fixes roll out to your environment without a separate upgrade project.

Built-in redundancyHosted infrastructure designed around backup and recovery, reducing the risk of a single point of failure.

Same executive tools, cloud-deliveredReal-time executive dashboard, ad hoc reporting, and Excel exports, without hosting the infrastructure yourself.

Choosing between the two

MetalNet or Metalware — Which Fits Your Operation?

Both products share the same metals-first foundation — catch weight and dual unit-of-measure handling, coil and sheet tracking, and integrated processing, purchasing, and accounting. The difference is deployment.

Metalware is the right fit if you already run IBM i infrastructure and want the system on-premise, under your own IT team’s control. MetalNet is the right fit if you’d rather shift that infrastructure burden to Paragon and pay as you go. MetalNet also includes a full disaster recovery program, and Paragon’s team handles the underlying IT support, so your data and uptime are covered without adding headcount.

Either way, your customers can be given self-service access to quotes, orders, and account documents through MetalWeb, which connects to both platforms.
