Inventory Management
At Continental, we exchange information with our customers on an ongoing basis, so we understand their product requirements. This allows us to serve clients by sourcing and stocking the steel they need, and delivering it when and where they need it.
Continental’s large, strategically located inventory is a cornerstone of our reputation for responsive, reliable delivery.
Because fast, cost-effective delivery to the energy industry is our priority, we utilize third-party field storage locations across the globe. These strategic stockpoints give our customers the advantage of knowing the material they need is never far away.
Flexible logistics support services
From customs coordination to tracking, Continental has systems in place to get steel where it’s needed, smoothly and seamlessly. Our products move quickly through a vast system of established transportation networks, with real-time order tracking. From sea to sky to land, our Inventory and Logistics teams meet delivery targets accurately and efficiently, working closely on site with our customers to handle any situation.

Business Technology
Over the past four decades, Continental has worked hard to develop best-in-class capabilities to monitor and improve our inventory systems. This fine-tuning has one goal: to ensure seamless, consistent supply for our customers.
Continental’s Ultimate Business System (CUBS) is our customized global enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. Developed in-house by Continental’s programmers, CUBS is our primary software tool for inventory management, as well as sales, purchasing, and logistics.
CUBS allows us to look at inventory on a global basis and relocate products in real time. Through CUBS, our invoicing process is quick and efficient, with full electronic data interchange (EDI) capability.
CUBS was tailor-made to serve the needs of our customers, our industry and our company. It supports our goal of providing leading-edge service, solutions and products, while always being customer-friendly and easy to work with.
