M-Soft N.V. was founded in 1986 as the Information Technology division of the Belgian steel company Metalim, which later became an Arcelor Mittal Distribution Division. M-Soft developed one of the first ERP solutions especially for the steel and metal distribution & treatment niche, actually still in use by more steel service centres of the Arcelor Mittal group. This solution is now called M-Soft-Steel (M-S-S).

Since 2004 the company is privately owned and keeps supplying, no longer in exclusivity, the ERP solution to more Arcelor Mittal Distribution Divisions in certain regions as well as to new clients in Europe active both in the steel and non ferrous metal distribution, as well as service and de-coiling centres. Today M-Soft-Steel is an international solution both sold and serviced directly to European clients but also, in the coming future, by local partners in different countries in Europe and abroad.

Whilst M-Soft could not commercialise its M-S-S solution, because of the exclusivity contract  with Metalim, back in the ‘80s it developed an ERP software to meet the needs of local production companies. This increased the products’ offer. The solution, now called M-Soft-Production (M-S-P) is  highly customisable and fully integrated with M-S-S as a module. This solution focuses mostly on Belgian SMEs which work with “discrete” production (by small series or by project).

In parallel to M-S-S and M-S-P and completely integrated with them, M-Soft has developed and serviced an international accounting solution, named M-Soft-Account (M-S-A), both to offer the option of a complete ERP system to its clients and to sell it as stand-alone solution, with a focus on Belgian medium sized companies with several offices and subsidiaries abroad.

M-Soft also delivers personnel management and presence registration (M-Soft-Time), access control, e-commerce and several other solutions to complete the package.

Today

Since 2008 an international majority shareholder has joined M-Soft to boost its already ongoing international expansion in the steel and metal distribution market with its product M-S-S via a partnership scheme, whilst consolidating its position in Belgium with M-S-P and M-S-A via enhanced product development and more investment in services.

M-Soft is a people-to-people, no-nonsense organisation that strives to deliver excellent services and solutions to its clients and, most importantly in the ERP world, is committed to "keep its promise". To this end, the company focuses exclusively on the chosen niches where it can deliver the highest added value to the client.

Quality is the standard

Every company is unique. M-Soft therefore delivers modular software that can be adapted to the size, structure and requirements of each particular company. A team of specialists identifies how the M-Soft solutions can be personalized within a very short implementation time and is ready to train each client. M-Soft quality is certified by ISO9001 standards.

Openness

M-Soft works in an open relationship with its clients: the success of every IT project is also based on trust, therefore M-Soft follows the principle that an IT supplier must be fully transparent. This means not only that M-Soft maps out the entire structure of the relational database for each client, so that the data in the database can be used in other applications, but also that M-Soft makes available the source code for each program. As a result, each client's own IT department can be actively involved in the development or further extension of their company-specific applications or customized applications.
