Signed and Synced: Live Proof of Delivery Between Headlight and 4GL
Signed and Synced: Live Proof of Delivery Between Headlight and 4GL
The signature went electronic years ago. The paperwork did not.
Most steel and metals distributors are running a version of the same workflow: the driver captures proof of delivery on a device in the field, and then somebody back at the office still has to get that document into the ERP. Scan it. Attach it to the order. Key in the exceptions. And until that happens, the invoice sits.
As of now, that step is gone for 4GL SM3 users.
Headlight and 4GL have built a live integration that pushes proof of delivery straight into SM3 the moment the driver confirms the delivery. The PDF appears on the order instantly, with quantity adjustments, exceptions, photos, and the signature already attached. The order is ready to invoice before the truck leaves the customer's lot.
Join Headlight President Mike Bjerke on Wednesday, November 4 at 2:00 PM EST for:
What the integration does and what changed, in plain terms
The full Headlight and SM3 workflow, from order entry through invoicing
Where the manual steps used to live, and what replaces them
A live demo inside a real SM3 environment, pushing a POD back in real time
Q&A with Mike
This session is built for steel and metals distributors running private fleets. If you are on SM3 today, this is live for you now. If you are on another ERP, the workflow is the same problem and worth seeing.
Every registrant gets a free Headlight trial account, so you can put this to work on your own operation.
About Headlight Solutions
Headlight Solutions is an AI-driven transportation management system (TMS) built for chemical, steel, and industrial gas distributors who run their own fleets. It helps teams plan loads, optimize routes on total cost, dispatch smarter, track deliveries in real time, and lower freight costs, all from a single source of truth. For chemical distributors, it also builds in the compliance rules generic systems miss, including product non-compatibility, food-grade separation, DOT route time limits, and hazmat-compliant routing, and it integrates with most ERP systems.
Customers report roughly 10% fewer miles driven, 9% fewer hours worked, 12% higher load weights, and up to 30% savings through competitive carrier bidding. Headlight is led by President Mike Bjerke and backed by a US-based customer success team for training and implementation.
About 4GL Solutions
4GL Solutions is the ERP software company behind Steel Manager III (SM3), built for metal service centers that run their own purchasing, inventory, sales, processing, and accounting. Rather than bolting modules together, SM3 links them in one system, so a quote, a heat number, a processing step, and an invoice all live in the same place. For metals specifically, it builds in what generic ERPs get wrong: material traceability, multiple units of measure, pricing matrices, and advanced estimating. As of this year it also pushes and receives proof of delivery directly with Headlight.
Based in Canada, 4GL has built software for this industry for more than 40 years, with customers across Canada, the United States, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Alongside SM3, the team handles implementation, data migration, hardware configuration, staff training, and ongoing technical support.
