PM Refining Precious Metals ERP Software
Precious metal transactions are highly specialized. Business management software that is not designed specifically for the complexities of metals refining and settlement can lead to managing information in offline spreadsheets, resulting in lost time and lost profits.

As the premier provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to the precious metals industry, our purpose-built tools have helped smelters, refiners and manufacturers of PM-based products around the world work more efficiently, accurately and profitably for almost twenty years.

Success Stories
Mark Grodzki • Ames Goldsmith Corporation
We’ve found CAI’s software provides an excellent foundation for tight control of all aspects of the business and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to implement the software.
Karen Cavender • Ohio Precious Metals
We pride ourselves on automating the refining process, so integrating CAI’s software was a logical step. The software enables us to streamline our internal processes, including how we create customer lots and settle their accounts. In addition, we were not forced to try to retrofit a software solution to our operations, the PM Refining software was built with the specific functionality we needed for our refining business.
Tony • Bransbury MasterMelt Ltd.
CAI’s refining software automates the way we calculate refining charges and helps us communicate real-time status with our customers. We are very pleased at our decision to implement the software and to work with the knowledgeable and professional staff at CAI.
Mitch Coughlin • Colt Refining, Inc.
CAI’s PM Refining software has helped us to significantly increase our productivity, speed and accuracy in creating, splitting and settling lots. We recognize our responsibility to protect our customers’ precious metal scrap as it flows through the refining circuit. With CAI’s PM Refining software, we can easily create production orders and track the movement of materials through receiving, vault, fire assay, wet chemical analysis and other work centers in the refining process.
Ian Ewen • Pyromet
CAI was quickly able to understand our core business practices and tailor their software to maintain our way of doing things. This, coupled with the system’s impressive throughput and minimal learning curve, made our decision to implement PM Refining a simple one. The support that we have received from CAI, both during the initial installation of the software and since our ‘go-live‘, has been exceptional. I would recommend this powerful software for any precious metals refiner seeking to automate the processing of lots through to settlement.
