A Note from Our President

At Steven Engineering, our commitment to delivering exceptional service and a seamless customer experience remains at the core of everything we do. As part of that commitment, we are pleased to share an important update about an investment in our future—and yours.

On May 11, 2026, we will transition our ERP system from an on-premises environment to a cloud-based platform with our existing provider. This upgrade is a foundational step in our digital transformation, enabling us to enhance system performance, improve scalability, and better support your evolving needs.

Our team has been preparing extensively to ensure this transition is executed with minimal impact and to position us to serve you more effectively in the future.

We appreciate your partnership and understanding as we take this important step forward. Should you have any questions or need assistance during this time, please do not hesitate to contact your Steven Engineering representative.

Thank you for your continued trust in Steven Engineering.

View and download order-related documents directly from your account, including items such as order confirmations, pick tickets, and invoices.

Improved Ordering for Large Orders

A More Modern, Reliable System

Behind the scenes, we are moving to a modern cloud-based ERP platform designed for distribution businesses.
